This is a 4-hour examination consisting of 20 essay-type questions worth five points each, for a total of 100 points. There are no sub-questions.  \n2. Read each question carefully.  \n3. Provide a clear and concise answer by demonstrating your ability to give a complete analysis of the facts, apply the correct legal basis, and arrive at a sound and logical conclusion. Always begin your answer with a “yes” or “no”, unless the question requires a different response. A mere “yes” or “no” answer will not be given credit.  \n4. Follow the prescribed format in the Examplify Manual (font style Times New Roman and font size 14) . Do not make any markings on your answers. Marking of submitted answers consists of writing your name, distinguishing marks, or extraneous words or phrases in any of the answers. This may be considered cheating and may disqualify you from the 2023 Bar Examinations.  \n5. Allocate your time efficiently. Examplify allows you to skip items and move to items that you may find easier to answer. Use the “Flag” feature to return to the unanswered items.  \n6. Do not panic in the rare case that you experience technical issues during the exam. Do not attempt to submit your exam answers. Call the attention of your proctor for assistance.  \n7. If you need to step out of the room, use the “Hide Screen” feature to prevent anyone from seeing your answers.  \n8. Make sure you have completed and reviewed all of your answers before submitting the exam. When submitting, the system will ask you one more time  \nto confirm if you are ready to submit your answer file, giving you another opportunity to review your answers.  \n9. Once done, show your proctor the green screen confirming your submission. If the green screen does not appear, check with your proctor before leaving the room.  \n10. You can do it.  \nRAMON PAUL L. HERNANDO  \nAssociate Justice, Supreme Court of the Philippines Chairperson, 2023 Bar Examinations  \n1. Christopher, a citizen of the United States (US), married Lila, a Filipino, in Dallas, Texas. Their marriage was later terminated by a divorce decree issued by a US court. At that time, their child, Amado, was only 18 months old. Lila and Christopher returned to the Philippines and settled in El Nido, Palawan. Christopher allegedly promised to give support to Amado in the amount of US$1,000 per month, but he never did. Subsequently, Christopher also settled in Cebu where he cohabited with another Filipino woman. When Lila learned of the whereabouts of Christopher, she filed a complaint against him for violation of the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act for his refusal to support Amado. Lila also invoked Article 195 of the Family Code, which provides for those who are obliged to support each other. She argued that notwithstanding their divorce, Christopher is not excused from complying with his obligation to support Amado. Is Lila correct in invoking Article 195 of the Family Code? Explain.  \n2. Nida and Deogracias were college sweethearts who had a child together named Mikael. When Mikael was three years old, Nida and Deogracias both died in a car accident while still planning their future wedding. Mikael was then put in the care of the unmarried sister of Nida, Nina, who officially adopted Mikael. A few years later, Nina left to work in the United States (US) . Mikael was left to live with his grandmother, Aurora, in the Philippines. In the US, Nina bore an illegitimate child, Maricel, from her affair with a married man. When Maricel was 22 years old, Aurora died so Nina came home to the Philippines with Maricel for the funeral. Maricel finally met Mikael who is now 28 years old. The two of them fell in love and planned to get married. Nina objected, saying that their marriage was prohibited by law. Can Maricel and Mikael validly get married?
