    Victorio Lanuevo, a former Bar confidant, was subject to an administrative proceeding for disbarment. He admitted to bringing Ramon Galang's examination notebooks from the 1969, 1966-76, and 1962-64 Bar exams to the examiners for re-evaluation without authorization from the Supreme Court. The examiners re-evaluated the notebooks and Galang was able to pass the 1971 exam, though he had failed 5 subjects in prior attempts. However, the court disbarred Lanuevo for exceeding his authority and disbarred Galang for having a pending criminal case for physical injuries and committing perjury in his application materials.
