Actions
The 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions ensure
and promote the Constitutional mandate that appointments in the Civil Service shall be
made only according to merit and fitness. Merit and fitness shall be determined, as far
as practicable, by competitive examinations. This does not apply to appointments to
positions which are policy determining, primarily confidential, or highly technical. Any
action denoting the movement or progress of human resource in the civil service such
as promotion, transfer, reappointment, reinstatement, reemployment, reclassification,
detail, reassignment, secondment, demotion and separation shall be known as human
resource action. No appointive official shall hold any other office or employment in the
government unless otherwise allowed by law or by the primary functions of his/her
position. No elective official shall be eligible for appointment in any capacity to any
public office or position during his/her tenure. No elective or appointive public officer
or employee shall receive additional, double or indirect compensation, unless
specifically authorized by law, nor accept without the consent of Congress, any present,
emolument, office or title of any kind from any foreign government.
A person who lost in an election, except Barangay election, shall not be eligible for
appointment or reemployment to any office in the government or government-owned
or controlled corporation 1 year after election. A person holding a public appointive
office or position, including active members of the armed forces, shall be considered
resigned from his/her office upon filing of the certificate of candidacy. This prohibition
extends to private citizens appointed as board members in public offices representing
the private sector. An employee who resigned from the government service during the
three (3)-month period before any election to promote the candidacy of another shall
not be reemployed during the six-month period following such election. Prohibition on
appointment in the career service extends to relatives of Appointing or Recommending

in the non-career service the prohibition extends to the 3rd degree relatives of
