CITY OF SAN FERNANDO— A bona fide Kapampangan from Sta. Cruz, Lubao made her hometown proud after she successfully passed the 2014 bar exams held in October at the University of Sto. Tomas.
Atty. Eilyn Esteban Medina is among the 1,126 or 18.82 % successful passers out of the 5,984 bar takers.
Ms. Medina earned her Bachelor of Laws at the University of Sto. Tomas (Faculty of Civil Law) where she ranked third in her batch (April 2014).
During her law days, this budding new lawyer flaunted distinction when she attained Best in Public International Law in 2012 and Best in Remedial Law in 2013.
A consistent Dean’s lister, she graduated Cum Laude at the University of the Philippines Diliman Extension Program in Pampanga with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Psychology in April 2010.
Ei, as she is fondly called by family and friends is the first lawyer in the family and the fifth child in a brood of seven to parents Mr. Wilfredo P. Medina and Mrs. Eden E. Medina.
Mr. Wilfredo P. Medina is the first cousin of Governor Lilia G. Pineda and Ms. Myrna “Bot” G. Manio.
Medina, meantime, expressed gratitude to her parents, family and friends who were very supportive in achieving her goal of becoming a lawyer.
“I am thankful to my parents, my family, and my friends. I did not have the money, but I had the support I needed, and that was more than enough. There are no words that could describe how grateful I am to these people” Medina said.
Atty. Eilyn professed, “I entered law school with nothing in my pocket but pure determination and faith. The Lord is truly awesome. This is His miracle. Dreams really do come true”.
This 25 year old lass dreamed of becoming a litigation lawyer and plans to work with the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) where she had her on-the-job training.
“I would like to work with PAO and be of service to those who cannot afford to pay the services of a lawyer”, Medina said.
