Can a recent election candidate be appointed to the Civil Service Commission?
Individuals who actively participated in the most recent elections face a strict constitutional prohibition. They must not have been candidates for any elective position in the elections immediately preceding their appointment. This rule prevents the use of these independent offices as political consolations or rewards. This disqualification for recent candidates is provided in Article IX, B, Section 1 1987 Philippine Constitution. “…and must not have been candidates for any elective position in the elections immediately preceding their appointment.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
