House Bill No._ 3606

EXPLANATORY NOTE

It is a fact that national government offices or corporations, as well as
local governments have hired contractual or casual employees. Many of them
have served for more than five years or even more ten years

In consonance with social justice, and to hamess existing human
resources and to develop these contractuals, it is about time that the State

grant civil service eligibility to them

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly
sought.
