House BILLNo. 1095

Introduced by HON. MA. VICTORIA R. SY-ALVARADO

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This bill seeks to grant the appropriate civil service eligibility to employees of casual,
contractual or temporary status in the government, who has served for at least ten (10) years.

without any gap in their service record.

Besides the basic qualifications of merit, good moral character and being physically

fit, a permanent appointment in any government position is dependent upon a person’s civil

service eligibility.

Efficient government service is one aspect which we would like to promote and
improve. Serving for a period of 10 years and more without being classified as a permanent
employee, can demoralize and isolates an individual based on his civil service eligibility

alone. It erases the fact that he or she is already considered a senior in his field of work
having rendered a considerable amount of effort and time to the government agency. In this
case, experience over passing the civil service eligibility exams should take precedence over
other considerations. Thus, we would like to appeal that the service tenure provided by the

individual for 10 years or more be equivalent to being civil service eligible.

In view of the foregoing considerations, approval of this bill is highly recommended

and earnestly sought.
