Can a public officer receive double or indirect compensation?
The fundamental law places strict limits on the remuneration of all public servants. No elective or appointive public officer or employee is allowed to receive additional, double, or indirect compensation. Such extra compensation is entirely illegal unless it is specifically authorized by a distinct law. This financial restriction is strictly enforced by Article IX, B, Section 8 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 8. No elective or appointive public officer or employee shall receive additional, double, or indirect compensation, unless specifically authorized by law…” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
