The Civil Service Commission (CSC) issued a reminder to the 1.9 million government employees across the country, urging them to refrain from participating in electioneering and partisan activities as the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election candidates conduct their campaigns between 19 October and 28 October 2023.
Electioneering and partisan political activity refers to acts designed to promote the election or defeat of a particular candidate or party to public office. The CSC noted that the 1987 Constitution mandates that no officer or employee in the civil service shall engage, directly or indirectly, in these acts. The same prohibition can be found in the CSC - Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Joint Circular No. 1, series of 2016 promulgated on 29 March 2016.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles advised government employees, "The Commission acknowledges civil servants’ shared desire to contribute to improved public service delivery through electoral participation. However, we must remain mindful not to engage in electioneering or partisan activities during this period. This precautionary measure underscores our commitment to maintaining the integrity and neutrality of the public service."
