Ferdinand Marcos
Law Journey
The Murder of Julio Nalundasan and his BAR Examination issue
Marcos’ principal interest was the .22-caliber college pistol team way back in his
college.

Sep 17, 1935:Mariano Marcos, father or Ferdinand Marcos ran for a seat on the
National Assembly in 1935 but was defeated for a second time by Julio Nalundasan.

Sep 20, 1935, Julio Nalundasan was at home celebrating that day’s Congressional
election victory over Mariano Marcos when he was shot and killed by a .22-caliber bullet
alleged fired by the 18-year-old Marcos

December 13, 1938 Marcos was arrested for Nalundasan’s murder but he
successfully petitioned for release on bail, allowing him to complete his law degree from the
University of the Philippines.

In 1939, Marcos was found guilty and sentenced to a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Jailed, Marcos spent six months writing his own 830-pages appeal while reviewing for the
Bar Exams at the same time.

Marcos posted bail to take the 1939 Bar Exams and passed with scores so high
he was suspected of cheating.

Legends say that his unofficial Grade was 98.5 and so he was summoned to
appear before the Supreme Court en banc for an oral re-examination, after
which his official grade was released as 92.35.

Marcos is the only Bar candidate who was called by the Supreme Court for an
oral re-examination.

In 1940, Marcos orally argued his own case in front of Supreme Court Justice Jose P. Laurel
and on October 22, 1940, he was acquitted of the charge of murder and forthwith liberated from
imprisonment. The next day, he returned to the Supreme Court where he was administered his oath
as a lawyer.
