A delighted family erupted into cheers as their relative passed the bar exam in the Philippines.

Heartwarming footage shows the mother, father, and daughters screaming and jumping with joy when they saw their son and brother Al Edward Flores had passed the test.

Video captured the moment Al Edward's name appeared on the list of successful entrants. The announcement was being live-streamed from the country's Supreme Court to their television set in Misamis Oriental, the Philippines, on December 13.

The whole family hugged and became emotional, crying in the living room before video-calling Al Edward.

Sister Alyn Nicole said: 'My brother was in another city then. We all waited together for the results to be live-streamed. We were so overjoyed because we were so proud of him. it will transform our family.'

In the Philippines, being a lawyer is one of the most respected professions with the title carrying a social prestige. They celebrate the milestone as Filipinos often have strong family ties, and success is viewed as a shared accomplishment.
