According to the Abogado's report, Atty. Tutor was a former legal secretary and planning officer at the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) but resigned to focus on the 2024 Bar exams.
But after becoming topnotcher, Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra disclosed plans to invite him back to the OSG.
