    The applicant, Arturo E. Garcia, applied for admission to the Philippine bar without taking the required bar examinations. He argued that a treaty between the Philippines and Spain on recognizing academic degrees allowed him to practice law in the Philippines after graduating with a law degree in Spain. However, the Supreme Court denied the petition. The Court ruled that the treaty could not modify the laws and regulations governing admission to the bar in the Philippines. While the treaty aimed to allow Filipinos to practice their profession in Spain, it did not supersede the Supreme Court's authority to create rules for bar admission in the Philippines.
