Can an appointive official hold another employment in the Government without legal authorization?
Appointive officials generally face severe restrictions regarding multiple government employments. They cannot hold any other office or employment in the Government or its subdivisions. This prohibition applies universally unless otherwise explicitly allowed by law or by the primary functions of their position. This general rule against multiple offices is stated in Article IX, B, Section 7 1987 Philippine Constitution. “Unless otherwise allowed by law or by the primary functions of his position, no appointive official shall hold any other office or employment in the Government…” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
