How are public officers and employees expected to live their personal and professional lives?
Public officers and employees are constitutionally mandated to lead modest lives. Furthermore, they are expected to act with patriotism and justice when discharging their duties to the nation. These behavioral expectations ensure that government personnel do not abuse their power or enrich themselves unlawfully. This fundamental principle of governance is stated in Article XI, Section 1, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 1. Public office is a public trust. Public officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
