THE UNIVERSITY of Caloocan City–College of Law (UCC-COL) recorded a 72.73 percent passing rate in the 2025 Bar Examinations, well above the national average of 48.98 percent.

UCC-COL also produced a total of 16 new lawyers—the highest number of passers so far in its relatively young history as a legal education institution—further cementing its consistently strong performance in what is considered one of the most difficult licensure examinations in the country.

Caloocan City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan congratulated the new lawyers and said their achievement, as well as UCC’s high passing rate in the Bar Examinations, is a source of pride for the entire city.

“Congratulations to our new UCCian lawyers! Pinasasalamatan at binabati rin natin ang buong UCC-COL sa pagkakamit ng 72.73% overall passing rate at sa inyong patuloy na paghubog sa mga mag-aaral upang maging mahuhusay na abogado,” Malapitan said.

“Sa ating mga bagong abogado, patunay kayo ng sipag, talino, at determinasyon ng Batang Kankaloo. Nawa’y gamitin ninyo ang inyong kaalaman at kakayahan sa pagseserbisyo nang tapat at may integridad para sa bayan,” he added.
