A question featuring the names of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his girlfriend Chloe San Jose earned attention in the Bar 2024 Examinations administered by the Supreme Court.
2019 Bar topnotcher Kenneth Manuel on Wednesday, September 11 posted one of the questions for Civil Law in this year’s Bar that is happening until September 15 at various universities nationwide.
Civil Law refers to the branch of law that treats the personal and family relations of a person, his property and succession rights, and the effects of obligation and contracts.
Manuel, also known as “Sir K” online, posted a copy of the first question for Civil Law and wrote: “Nilaro na naman ng Bar Exams.”
It was accompanied by loudly crying emojis.
The question presented a scenario in which Angelica Yulo, Carlos’ mother, failed to deliver a gold wedding ring purchased by Chloe for her groom because of a typhoon.

This was not the first time Bar questions went viral for their references to pop culture.
