THE FACTS
Arturo E.
Garcia, a Filipino citizen, studied law, became a lawyer and practiced law in
Spain. Later, he applied for admission to the practice of law in the
Philippines without taking the Philippine bar examinations. He cited the
provision of the Treaty of Academic
Degrees and the Exercise of Professions between the Philippines and Spain and
argued that he is entitled to practice the law profession in the Philippines
even without submitting to the required bar examinations.
