CHAPTER I
General Provisions
Administrative Law that branch of public law which fixes the
organization and determines the competence of administrative
authorities and indicates to the individual remedies for the violation
of his rights.
Kinds of Admin Law
1. Statutes setting up administrative agencies;
2. Body of doctrines and decisions dealing with the creation,
operation and effect of determinations and regulations of such
administrative authorities;
3. Rules, regulations, or orders of such administrative authorities in
pursuance of the purpose for which administrative authorities
were created or endowed;
4. Determinations, decisions, and orders of such administrative
authorities in the settlement of controversies arising in their
particular fields.
Administration is defined in two different senses: as a function, is
the execution, in non-judicial matters, of the law or will of the State
as expressed by competent authority; and as an organization, is that
group of or aggregate of persons in whose hands the reins of
government are for the time being.
Creation:
They are created either by a) Constitutional
provision; b) Legislative enactment; or c) Authority of law.
Presumption of Regularity
Government officials are presumed to perform their functions
with regularity and strong evidence is necessary to rebut this
presumption. Under the law of public officers, acts done in the
performance of official duties are protected by the presumption of
good faith, and even mistakes committed by such public officers
are not actionable as long as it is not shown that they were
motivated by malice or gross negligence amounting to bad faith.
CHAPTER III
Power of Control, Supervision and Investigation
Sec. 17, Art. VII of the 1987 Constitution provides that the
President shall have control of all the executive departments,
bureaus, and offices. He shall ensure that the laws be faithfully
executed.

CHAPTER I
Nature and Elements of Public Office
Exhaustion of Administrative
Public Office refers to the right, authority and duty, created and
conferred by law, by which, for a given period either fixed by law or
enduring at the pleasure of the creating power, an individual is
invested with some portion of the sovereign functions of
government, to be exercised by that individual for the benefit of the
public.
Elements:
a) Created by law or by authority of law;
b) Possess delegation of a portion of the sovereign powers of
the government to be exercised for the benefit of the public;
c) Powers conferred and duties imposed must be defined,
directly or implied, by the legislature or by legislative
authority;
d) Duties must be performed independently and without the
control of a superior power other than the law;
e) Must have permanence or continuity.
2. Non-Career Service
a. Entrance on bases other than those of the usual test of merit
and fitness utilized for the career service; and
b. Tenure which is limited to a period specified by law, or which
is coterminous with that of the appointing authority or
subject to his pleasures, or which is limited to the duration of
a particular project for which purposes employment was
made.
Tri-Level Positions in the Career Service
1. First Level includes clerical, trades, crafts and custodial service
positions involving non-professional or sub-professional work in
a non-supervisory or supervisory capacity requiring less than
four years of collegiate studies;
2. Second Level includes professional, technical and scientific
positions involving professional, technical or scientific work in a
non-supervisory or supervisory capacity requiring at least four
years of college work up to division chief level; and
3. Third Level includes positions in the career executive service
consisting of undersecretary, assistant secretary, bureau director,
assistant bureau director, regional director, assistant regional
director, chief of department service and other officers of
equivalent rank as may be identified by the Career Executive
Service Board, all of which are appointed by the President.
Kinds of Appointments
1. Permanent Status shall be issued to a person who meets all
the requirements for the position to which he is being appointed,
Right to Compensation
The right of an officer or employee to compensation and
allowances which attach to an office or employment is a statutory
right. He is only entitled to so much as the law grants him. The
law should, however, be implemented in a more reasonable,
humane, and realistic manner.
Requirements for Payment of Salaries and Wages
1. Existence of legally created position with fixed compensation
or emolument attached to the position;
2. Issuance of a valid appointment;
3. Rendition of service being paid; and
4. Payment to the right person.
Government Policy on Compensation
1. All government personnel shall be paid just and equitable
wages;
2. Basic compensation for all personnel in the government and
GOCCs and financial institutions shall generally be
comparable with those in the private sector doing comparable
work and must be in accordance with prevailing laws on
minimum wage;
Under Section 20, Article VII of the Constitution, the power of the
President to contract or guarantee loans on behalf of the
Republic of the Philippines is subject to the prior concurrence of
the Monetary Board and subject to such limitations as may be
prescribed by law.
2) Under the Local Government Code, the local chief executive may
veto an ordinance on the ground that it is ULTRA VIRES or
PREJUDICIAL TO THE PUBLIC WELFARE.
3) Pursuant to the Local Government Code, an ordinance vetoed by
the local chief executive shall be deemed approved if he does not
communicate his veto to the local legislative assembly within 15
days in the case of a province and 10 days in the case of a city or
a municipality, from the date of its submission. Likewise, if the
veto by the local executive has been overridden by the local
legislative assembly, a second veto will be void. Under the Local
Government Code, the local chief executive may veto an
ordinance only once.

regarding
a
LEAKAGE
in
a
medical
examination, can Ong refuse to answer questions on the
ground that he would incriminate himself?
(2) Suppose he refuses to answer, and for that reason, is
dismissed from the service, can he pausibly argue that the
Civil Service Commission has inferred his guilt from his
refusal to answer in violation of the Constitution?
(3) Suppose, on the other hand, he answers the question and on
the basis of his answers, he is found guilty and is dismissed.
Can he plausibly assert that his dismissal is based on
coerced confession?
1. No, Ong cannot refuse to answer the question on the ground that
he would incriminate himself, since the law grants him immunity
and prohibits the use against him in a criminal prosecution of
the testimony or evidence produced by him.
What the
constitutional prohibition against self incrimination seeks to
prevent is the conviction of the witness on the basis of testimony
elicited from him. The rule is satisfied when he is granted
immunity.
2. No, Ong cannot argue that the Civil Service Commission inferred
his guilt from his refusal to answer. He is not dismissed because
of his involvement in the leakage in the medical examination, but
for his refusal to answer considering that this is a violation of the
law. He could be compelled to answer the question on pain of
being dismissed in case of his refusal, because he was granted
immunity. Also, given adequate immunity, the State may plainly
insist that employees either answer questions under oath about
the performance of their job or suffer the loss of employment.
3. Yes, Ong can argue that his dismissal was based on coerced
confession.
The President exercises the power of control over all executive
departments and agencies, including government-owned or
controlled corporations.
