HOUSE BILL No,_1081

Introduced by: HON. “KUYA” JOSE ANTONIO R. SY-ALVARADO

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This bill seeks to grant the appropriate civil service eligibility to casual, contractual
or temporary status employees in the government who has religiously served for at least
ten (10) years without any gap in their service record.

One of the pre-requisites of having a permanent appointment is being civil service
eligible aside from their basic qualifications of meritoriously, morally, and being physically
fit.

Efficient government service is one aspect which we would like to promote and
improve. Having served a period of 10 years or more without being classified as a
permanent employee, demoralizes 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. Being able to master his or her work for a period of 10 or more years is being over
qualified if we are to base it on experience alone. Thus, we would like to appeal that the
service tenure provided by the individual for the longest time be equivalent to being civil
service eligible,

Hence the approval of this measure is earnestly sought after.
