EXPLANATORY NOTE

Co-terminus, contractual and casual goverment employees are public servants and are
likewise employed based on the merits of their education, skill and work experience.

However, a number of them cannot be given permanent appointment due to lack of
pertinent civil service eligibility.

Republic Act Nos. 6850 of 1990 and 7883 of 1995 were passed granting civil service
eligibility to government employees appointed on provisional or temporary status who have served
a total of seven (7) years and to barangay health workers who have rendered five (6) straight years
of service, respectively.

The State guarantees equal protection in accordance to the provision of the constitution
Thereby, the same privilege may be provided for the other groups of similar status,

Moreover, granting civil service eligibility for the length of service and hard work of
government employees will boost their morale and encourage much efficient job performance and
dedication to public service.

Thus, this bill seeks to grant sub-professional civil service eligibility to co-terminus,
contractual and casual government employees who have rendered nine straight years of service.

To this end, approval of this bill is ardently sought.
