theoretical person unless the complex
indicates otherwise next is the conflict
of interest arises when a public
officials or employee is a member of a
board an officer or unsubstantial
stockholder of a private Corporation or
owner or has a substantial interest in a
business and the interest of such
Corporation or business for his stride
or judicial may be opposed to through or

civil degree of consequinity or Affinity
including the bilas inso and Palace
section 4 the Norms of conduct of public
officials and employees letter A every
public official and employee shall
observe the following as standards of
personal conduct in the discharge and
the first Norm that we have is
commitment to public interest so public
officials and employees shall always
uphold and
the public interest over and above
personal interest so what do you mean by
this so with this law
a republic officials are reminded that
in the discharge and execution of their
duties it is the first notion that they
should put in their mind that they are
that they are serving the public
interest over their personal interests
also the law requires public officials
and employees to perform their duties
with highest degree of responsibility
accountability and integrity in their kids
kids
however it is sad to know that there are
still public officials that neglected to
do their duties especially the
politician that we choose since
sometimes they do it for personal
interest or to earn title
but yeah it is very important
for US citizens to choose a right people
and a deserving leader next is professionalism
professionalism
as stated in the law public officials
and employees shall perform and this and
discharge their duties with the highest
degree of Excellence professionalism
intelligence and skills so in here our
employees and public officials are
reminded to be a professional
so stated in the law they must have a
highest degree of Excellence they must
have a skills on their profession
and they know how to respect people and have
have
um skill in
um probably communicating with people or
to the public and of course they are
confident and confident
the third Norm is justness and sincerity
so public officials and employees shall
remain true to all the people at all times
times
justness requires public officials and
employees to perform their duties with
impartiality fairness and Justice so
they are expected to provide equal
treatment to all individuals and to
avoid any acts that may appear to be
biased and discriminatory
sincerity on the other hand requires
public officials and employees to act
with honesty and integrity in the
performance of their duties they are
expected to avoid any conflict of
interest and to disclose any information
that may affect your impartiality
the law also requires public service to
avoid any activities that may cause
doubt under honesty and integrity next
is the political neutrality political
neutrality requires public officials and
employees to remain impartials and
embiased in their official actions and
decisions so regardless of their
political beliefs this means that
um they should not use their official
position to advance the interests of any
political party or a group so the
principle of political neutrality is
important for ensuring the fairness of
the government
it helps to maintain the public trust in
the government and ensure that the
public officials and employees serve the
best interests of the people further
than the interests of any political
party or at least the next one is
responsiveness to the public so
according to this law a public officials
shall extend prompt purchase and the
adequate service to the public so what
do we mean by this it refers to the
willingness and the ability of the
public official to respond to the needs
and concern of the people they serve
so this means that the public servant
should be accessible approachable and
willing to listen to the public and to
and to take appropriate action in
response to their needs and concerns so
in order now to be um responsive to the
public public servants must be informed
about the needs and concern of the
people they serve
they must equip with the necessary
skills resources and knowledge to
address those needs effectively
so this requires regular communication
and engagement with the public
the next Norm is nationalism and
patriotism so under 67 13 our public
officials and employers requires
describe to maintain a standard a high
standard of morality and shall promote
the national interest cultivate respect
and love of crunchy and take an active
part in in the attainment attainment of
its Noble as aspiration
so in other words the law encouraged our
public officials and employees to
exhibit to exhibit patriotism and
nationalism by upholding the highest the
highest ethical standard and promoting
the interests of the Philippines so as
well as fostering a love and respect for
the country so this helps
to ensure that those who serve in the
government are acting in the best
interest of the nation and its but the
next one is commitment to democracies so
commitment to democracy requires our
public servants to respect and and
uphold the rule of the law the rights of
the freedom of citizens the principle of
equality and care less so it requires
them to be accountable to the people
they serve and to participate in
decision making process in an open
transparent and participatory money
so in a Democratic Society public
servants must be committed to serving
the interests of people and to promote
the common good so they must also be
willing to engage with citizen listen to
their concern and work to address their
needs the next one is simple living so
um according to this laws
um our public servant is reminded to
live in a body's race or simply lock
they are obliged to be not extra bargain
or display any form of crap
um in very simple simple terms just
um they require them to live simply
section 4B explain the positive measures
that the Civil Service Commission shall
adopt so in simplest explanation about
this is our Civil Service Commission are
has a duty to
to give or to raise information to our
public officials and employees
um they can
provide workshops seminars
providing um these norms and standards about
about
about our employees and public officials
so with this um
they can release awareness the second
one is the continuing research and
experimentation on this measure so it is
very important for our Civil Service
Commission to regularly evaluate and
adjust this measure so why it's important
important
um of course for them to ensure that
they are effectively promoting
um the desired behavior that they want
for our among public officials and employees
employees
now we we can now proceed to section
five the duties of public officials and
employees the first duties is to act
promptly on letters and requests
so according to the law within 15 days
of working working days from receiving a
response the letter must be that this
means that the public officials and
employees must be accountable in
reachable to respond to the letters and
requests to the public they must respond
in an efficient and effective manner
without undue delay next is a required
to submit annual performance reports so
according to this law 45 days of working
working this after New Year every
government office or companies must
submit their performance report
so why do you think that um
public officials required or obliged to
submit annual annual performance report
so of course to provide transparency and
accountability to the public
next is to measure if there is a
progress or a success in their official works
works
it also allows for a systematic
evaluation of official performance
also it helps to ensure that they are
meeting the expectation and requirements
of their position lastly annual reports
provide valuable feedback for the
official to improve their work and to
make informed decisions about future
work class the next duties is to process
documents and paper expeditiously so a
requirement for efficient processing of
official paper and documents must be
completed for a reasonable time with not
more than three signatures so if other
and also it maintains the product
productivity and Effectiveness next
duties is act immediately on public
Personnel transactions so our public
officials and employees must attend to
anyone who wants to Avail his service so
this means that they should prioritize
and expedite the processing of personal
transactions such as requests
applications and transactions that
require their attention and action so
this is in line with the goal of the law
to promote accountability transparency
integrity and the Philippine government
and its public service so
it ensured that the public is provided
with prompt and efficient Services the
last duties is make document accessible
to public
so why it is important to make document
accessible to public first as for
transparency so making document
accessible to the public promotes
transparency and accountability and
government operations and decision making
making
next is citizen partnership
participation so assess the information
enable citizen to participate in the
Democratic process and the full public
official accountable for their actions
next is
um better decision making
and lastly is it improves Service
delivery assess the information can have
to improve the quality and efficiency of
government services so in summary by
making documents accessible to the
public or a6713 helps to promote
transparency accountability
trust and Trust in government operation
and decision making [Music]

section 7 or the prohibited acts and transactions
transactions
letter a financial and material interest
public officials and employees shall not
directly or indirectly have any
Financial or material interest in any
transactions requiring the approval of
their office
the public officials or employees May
gain conflict of interest which should
be avoided as stated in section 9 of the
Republic acts 6713 so for example an
employee is managing his or her auction
business without working hours another
one is among facilities and equipments
for personal business and when it comes
to public official amanpo is elected
officials are engaged in either private
or public businesses or corporations
that will affect their Duty as a public
servant so for example
public officials Corporation
Corporation
is public official which hold a share
and if it requires the approval of their office
and that is not good to hear letter B is
the outside employment and other
activities related there too so number
one is to own control or manage or
accept employment as officers so in
stated in number two um
part-time or to practice our profession outside
your office are so example
teachers or professors
allowed in some school to practice their profession
and number three is recommend any person
to any position in a private Enterprise
which has a regular or pending official
transaction with their office so this
prohibitions shall continue to apply for
a period of one year of the resignation
retirement or separation from the
public office
so letter C disclosure and or misuse of
confidential information
so public officials and employees shall
not use or divulge confidential or
classified information officially known
to them by reasons of their office and
not made available to the public either
to further their private interest or
give a new advantage to anyone or to
Prejudice the public interest so there
are certain information classified as
confidential and should not be made
public so they must seek advice and take
into account some aspects of those data
as an official employee so example
nothing is among doctors
patient confidentiality so they are not
allowed to disclose or access
information of their patients unless
their patients allowed them to do or in
legal purposes disclosure or misuse of
confidential informations can also lead
to disciplinary reactions losing your
job and worst case is criminal charges
so letter D the solicitation or
acceptance of gifts public officials and
employees shall not solicit or accept
directly or indirectly any gift gratuity
favor entertainment loan or anything of
monetary value from any person
the course in the course of their
official duties or in connection with
any operation being regulated by or
transaction which may be affected by the
functions of their office so they shall
not solicit
or accept gifts directly or indirectly
so if you are familiar with bribery
anti-graft and Corruption practices up
as to gifts or grants from foreign
governments the Congress consents to
accept and retention by public official
or employee of a gift or nominal value
pandered and received as a souvenir or a
mark of courtesy or
in the nature of scholarship or
Fellowship Grant or medical treatment or
acceptance public official or employee
for travel grants or expenses to travel
taking place entirely outside Bosa Pilipinas
Pilipinas
so the Ombudsman shall prescribe such
regulations as may be necessary to carry
out the purpose of this subsection
including pertinent reporting and
disclosure requirements nothing in this
action be construed to restrict or
prohibit any educational scientific or
cultural Exchange program subject to
National Security requirements
so Section 8 um statements and
disclosure public officials and
employees have an obligation to
accomplish and submit on declarations
under Otto and the public has the right
to know their assets liabilities
networks and financial and business
interests including those of their
spouses and of unmarried children under

within 60 days from such assumption the
same rule shall apply where the public
official or employee is a partner in a partnership
partnership
the requirement of divestment shall not
apply to those who serve the government
in an honorary capacity nor to laborers
now I'm going to discuss the section 10
of the code of conduct and ethical
standards for public officials and employees
now I'm going to discuss the first part
he said the designated communities of
moon houses the Congress shall establish
procedures for the review office
statements determine whether set
statements which have been submitted on
on time and are complete in the effort
of a determination is made that a
statement is not so filed the
appropriate committee issue so informed
the reporting individual and direct him
um connected with this according as a
memorandum circular release on April 16
2018 the constitution of the Republic of
the Philippines requires public officers
and employees to submit a fun Assumption
of office and during such period as may
be required by law a declaration and
their own of their assets their
the thing should be accomplished under
oath as the public has the right the
right to know their assets their
abilities Network and financial and
business interests including their
spouses and unmarried children below 18
years of years of age living in their households
households
as this is endowed with public interest
there is need to establish a review and
com compliance procedure in the finding
and submission thereof thus this
memorandum circular
now let's discuss the second part of
designated communities of good houses [Music]
[Music]
by the affirmative both of the majority
of the particular house concerning
and to those individual and human
opinion is rendered and any other
individual involves
situation and who after issuance of the
insofar as their respective offices are
concerned subject to the approval of the
Secretary of Justice in the case of the
executive department and the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court in the case
now we're done discussing section 10 and
let's proceed to the next section that
if there is a violation of certain
Provisions I think ra 6713
now any public official or employee
regardless of whether or not he holds
office or employment in a casual
temporary pulled over permanent
irregular capacity pulled over to a new
holdovers let me give you an example
like negara on or my failure election in
a certain government or in barangay so humidity
officials
so technically you incumbent barangay
Captain you still hold give
position scenes are in hold offer
so going back to meeting any evaluation
of this act shall be punished with
Divine not exceeding the equivalent of
six months salary or suspension of
exceeding one year or removal depending
on the gravity of the offense after you
notice and the hearing by the
appropriate body or agency so if the
violation is punishable by a heavier
penalty under another law he shall be
persecuted under deliver laughter Institute
Institute
and violations of section 7 8 or 9 of
the staff shall be punishable with
imperson method exceeding five years or
I find that exceeding 5 000 pesos or
votes and in the description of equals
of confident jurisdiction
disqualification to hold public office
letter B any violation here of proven in
a proper administrative procedential
dissufficient cost for removal or
dismissal of a public official or
employee even if no
criminal prosecution is instituted
against him
a letter C private individuals who
participate in transparency are strong
principals accomplices or accessories
with public officials or employees in
violation of this act should be subject
to the same panel liabilities as the
public officials or employees in shall
be tried jointly with death rightly though
though
this is only for public officials but
how about those private individuals in
the participants conspiracy of
principles so technically they are also
subject to the same penalty or penalty
ability the public officials or
employees and shall be tried jointly to
the official or employee concerned may
bring an action against any person who
thinks or uses a report for any purpose
prohibited by section each of this act
the point in which such action is
brought May assessed against such person
a penalty and any amount that exceed 25
000 pesos
if another sanction here and there or
under any other law is heavier the
latter shall apply
and that concludes
let's proceed to section 12 of
ra-6713 promulgation of rules and
regulations Administration and
enforcement of this act it states that
the Civil Service Commission shall have
the primary responsibility for the
administration and enforcement of this
app it shelters meet all cases for
prosecution arising from violation of
this act to the proper authorities for
appropriate actions provided however
that it may Institute such
Administration actions and disciplinary
measures as may be warranted in
accordance with law nothing in this
provision shall be construed as a
deprivation of the rights of each house
of Congress to discipline its members
for disorderly Behavior the Civil
Service Commission is hereby authorized
to promulgate rules and regulations
necessary to carry out the provisions of
this act including guidelines for
individuals who render free volunteer
services to the government
dumbled's man shall likewise take steps
to protect citizens who denounce Acts or
omissions of public officials and
employees which are in violations of
this act
Civil Service Commission and my responsibilities
with that the Civil Service Commission
is tasked to oversee the government
actions and processes
and if for example someone violates this
act the CSC or the Civil Service
Commission will undertake that he so
that he or she will face disciplinary
action in accordance to the law however
the house of Congress and the Ombudsman
still have the rights to discipline its
officials nor its citizens for any
next section 13 the provisions for more
stringent standards it states that
nothing in this action be construed to
derogate from any law or any regulation
prescribed by anybody or agency which
provides for more student standards for
its official and employees
so under Section 13 of
ra-6713 tells us that since this is a
law it is a must obey it the law must
strictly followed lahatma government
officials and employees should know and
understand the Republic act 6713 in
order for us to be guided and to have a
high standard ethics in doing Public Service
Service
the ignorance of the law excuses no one
section reporting Appropriations that's
not necessary for the effective
implementation of this act should be
taken from the appropriations of Civil
Service Commission thereafter such love
as baby legal for its related
implementation shall be included in the
annual General appropriation
that in general appropriation little
last year
that's a section 93 of Republic Act 11639
11639
so enhance transparency and enforce
accountability all agencies of the
government should contain to
transparency seal to be posted on their websites
websites
section 15 is a parable trust if any
profession of this app or the
application of such Provisions to other
person or circumstance is declared and
valid the remainder of the act or the
application of such provision to other
persons or circumstances shall not be
affected by such detergent in short it
means a class which states that
as for Republic act 6713 section 16
repealing class all laws decrease and
orders are Parts thereof inconsistent
here with are repeated or modified
accordingly unless the same provide for
a heavier penalty
being inconsistent throughout has been
formally terminated or can be converted
to a more severe punishment for example

employee at a firm they had the option
of hiring me or punishing me severely
section 17 effectivity this actual take
effect after 30 days following the
completion of its publication in the
official Gazette or in two national
