    R.A. 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees is significant for public officials and employees as it helps prevent abuse of power and requires financial disclosures. The principle of "dura lex sed lex" means that the law must be followed regardless of personal reasons or status. However, not all lawful acts are necessarily ethical, as the law does not consider ethics or results, only actions.

    _____________________________________ANSWERS_________________________________

     How significant is the R.A. 6713 to public officials and public employees? Explain.
    o This law is pretty significant to our society because it puts the public officials in
    check, so that they will not abuse the power given to them by the people. Not
    only to prevent public servants to abuse their power, but also to give the public
    information about the official that they put in that certain position like info
    about their riches, incomes and where the riches of these public official came
    from through SALN.

     Explain DURALEX SEDLEX


    o Dura lex, Sed lex or the law is harsh, but it is the law. The meaning of this
    statement is no one can justify their wrong doing even if the person who
    disobeyed the law has a good reason why they committed a crime. If you did not
    abide the law, you will be judge by the sovereign law who ever you are, a minor,
    an elderly, a disabled individual, a public servant, a policeman, a teacher, etc. the
    law doesn’t look at your status in life, but the crime you did to your own
    countrymen.

     Is all lawful act an ethical act?


    o Yes, because law is law. DURA LEX, SED LEX. No matter the result, law will be
    always be right.
