“No to partisan political activities.” This was the reminder of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to all government officials and employees holding non-political offices or positions, thus refraining from directly or indirectly engaging in any partisan political activities.
Based on the Administrative Code of 1987, employees who engage in partisan political activities are liable and may be dismissed from the service.
As early as 1998, the CSC has already issued a memorandum circular defining “partisan political activity” as “an act designed to promote the election or defeat of a particular candidate or candidates to a public office.” (CSC)
