The Oath of Office is an affirmation of a voluntary and self-imposed obligation, before God, by the appointee, before assuming the duties and responsibilities of the position appointed to, that he will faithfully discharge to the best of his abilities the duties and responsibilities of the position appointed to and all other offices under the Republic of the Philippines that he/she may hold thereafter, and that he will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. That he/she will obey the laws and legal orders and decrees promulgated by the duly constituted authorities of the Republic of the Philippines. Said oath is provided in CS Form No. 32, Revised 2018.

A Certification of Assumption to Duty (CS Form No. 4, Revised 2018) is a document issued by the Head of Office/Department/Unit certifying as to the date the appointee has assumed the duties and responsibilities of the position appointed to, in connection with the issuance of the latter’s appointment.

Reporting for duty refers to the actual or physical appearance or showing up of the appointee at his place of office or workstation at the appointed time of work.

Section 17, Rule VI of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointment and Other Human Resource Actions provide for the effectivity of an appointment, to wit:

“Sec. 17. An appointment issued in accordance with pertinent laws and rules shall take effect immediately on the date it was signed by the appointing officer/authority. The date of signing shall be indicated below the signature of the appointing officer/authority in the appointment form.

“The date of the appointment shall not fall on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, except in cases where the date of issuance is specifically provided in a special law such as in the appointment of personal and confidential staff of Constitutional officials and elective officials and where the service should not constitute a gap such as in transfer and reappointment.

“Illustrative Example:

“Personal and confidential staff of reelected officials where July 1 is a Saturday or Sunday shall reflect July 1 as the date of issuance of appointment.

“If the apointee has taken his/her oath of office and assumed the duties of the position, he/she shall be entitled to receive his/her salary at once without awaiting the approval/validation of his/her appointment by the Commission. The appointment shall remain effective until disapproved/invalidated by the Commission. In no case shall an appointment take effect earlier than the date it was signed except in cases authorized by law.

“No official or employee shall be required to assume the duties and responsibilities of the position without being furnished with a copy of his/her appointment by the HRMO after it is signed by the appointing officer/authority. The appointee shall acknowledge receipt of the appointment by signing on the acknowledgment portion at the back of the appointment form.

“The appointment of officials or employees who are on official leave of absence, training or scholarship grant, shall be effective upon assumption or upon return from official leave of absence, scholarship or training.”
