What specific oath or affirmation must all public officers and employees take?
Entering public service requires a formal pledge of allegiance to the fundamental law. All public officers and employees are constitutionally required to take an oath or an affirmation. Specifically, they must solemnly swear to uphold and actively defend the Constitution. This foundational requirement for all civil servants is mandated by Article IX, B, Section 4 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 4. All public officers and employees shall take an oath or affirmation to uphold and defend this Constitution.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
