How did you manage law school while playing chess during your cute days.”

While
his classmate was pressured by his studies, Atty. Orbe was playing chess at the
plaza with no worries about the final exams.
“My response to that is I
studied way way before. The day before the exam, ready na.” The only way for me
to study for my class is to wake up 4am and read my books up to 7am and go to
work,” Atty. Orbe added.
The
chess player lawyer used to wake up at 4 o’clock in the morning consistently to
study because he was a working student.
“Time management is key in
surviving law school” – Atty Orbe.
