APPLICATION OF BAYANI VIRATA FAYLONA.

ORDER

Writ granted.

[3] MARCUS, Justice.

IT IS ORDERED that the Committee on Bar Admissions permit Bayani Virata Faylona to take the Bar Examination commencing February 13, 1978. Prior to certification, the Committee shall hold a hearing at which applicant shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate that the law school of the University of Manila, from which applicant graduated, satisfies the standards for approval of the American Bar Association.

SANDERS, C. J., dissents.

SUMMERS, J., dissents for reasons assigned.

DIXON, J., concurs in the order, being of the opinion the graduate degree in law from Tulane, preceded by graduation from the school of law of the U. of Manila may satisfy the requirements for taking the bar exam.

SANDERS, C. J., dissents from this action, but would instruct the Committee on Bar Admissions to develop rules governing foreign law schools.

SUMMERS, J., dissents. The showing made does not satisfy the rules applicable to admission. Due to the late application the Association has had no opportunity to determine applicant's qualifications.
