Does staying at the same university as your undergrad matter for law school?

For context, I'm a fourth-year undergrad student at UP Diliman. I plan on taking a gap year, so I haven't applied to any law schools yet.

I'm posting this to ask for thoughts on the question in the title. I often hear that it's beneficial for students to take their master's at a different institution to expose themselves to a new environment and pedagogy, but I'm wondering if it's the same for law school. I know law school professors typically teach at multiple institutions anyway.

I guess I'm just feeling uncertain since I might be limiting myself to a certain worldview or culture if I pursue UP again. Of course, it's still uncertain whether I'd even get in, but I also plan on taking up a master's program soon (and UP is looking like the top choice for this as well since it's the top planning school 🥲).
