25-year-old beauty queen Patch Magtanong was recently crowned Bb. Pilipinas International 2019 during the Binibining Pilipinas competition! She will be representing the country at this year's Miss International pageant, which will be held in Tokyo, Japan in November.
ICYMI, Patch is also a lawyer! She passed the Philippine Bar Exams in May 2019 and attended the oath taking ceremony for successful bar candidates on Thursday, June 13, 2019.
Patch recently held an "ask me anything" sesh on Instagram Stories, where fans asked her about bar-related questions! Here are some of Patch's bar preps, routines, and tips:
Patch has a bachelor's degree in Business Economics from the University of the Philippines.
Don't worry, though. You can still take up law no matter what undergraduate course you took!
Patch stressed that sleep is important and that she tries to get eight hours of sleep as much as possible.
"When I'm puyat, I'm not [at my] 100 percent and I'm not as productive."
Patch shared that she only slept for two hours before one exam!
She even puked because of nerves. OMG.
The hardest part of the bar exams? Tax!
"Maglaan ka ng panahon para dito." Noted, Patch!
Pro tip: When reviewing for the bar, always put your mental health first.
According to Patch, she studied every Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 or 8 p.m. and started this routine in July 2018. She says, however, that there are good days and bad days. "If your mind is super saturated already, close your book and go do something else. Bawi na lang tomorrow."
