How are appointments in the civil service generally determined?
The civil service operates primarily on a merit-based system for its public personnel. Appointments must be made solely according to merit and fitness, as far as practicable. This merit is generally determined through the objective administration of competitive examinations. This foundational principle for civil service appointments is enshrined in Article IX, B, Section 2 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(2) Appointments in the civil service shall be made only according to merit and fitness to be determined, as far as practicable… by competitive examination.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
