Is an elective official eligible for appointment to another public office during their tenure?
Elected officials are strictly confined to the mandate given to them by the voters. No elective official shall be legally eligible for appointment or designation to any other public office. This restriction applies in any capacity during the entire duration of their active tenure. This ban on holding concurrent appointive offices is established in Article IX, B, Section 7 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 7. No elective official shall be eligible for appointment or designation in any capacity to any public office or position during his tenure.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
