Hi! This refers to your query on whether a government employee can hold two government positions at the same time.

Please be informed that as a matter of policy, the Commission does not render opinions or rulings on issues that may eventually be the subject of court litigation or appeal before it. This is especially so if the material facts necessary to a judicious adjudication of the issues are not fully presented or substantiated as in this case.

The answer to your query is in the negative. The holding of two government positions by an employee would be tantamount to double compensation specifically prohibited by Section 8, Article IX of the Constitution which provides that "no elective or appointive public officer or employee shall receive additional, double, or indirect compensation, unless specifically authorized by law." Thus, the only exception to this prohibition is if its specifically authorized by law.

We hope that we have enlightened you on the matter.
