Prohibition on the Appointment of Public School Teachers as Barangay Secretary or

Treasurer

To: Regional Directors

Schools Superintendents
Presidents, State Colleges and Universities
Vocational School Superintendents/Administrators

1. In view of the trepidation of some concerned citizens that some public school
teachers may opt to be appointed as Barangay Secretaries or Treasures and thus neglect
their primary mission to teach and mold pupils and strengthen their basic education to
prepare them for higher levels of learning, there is reproduced on the reverse side the letter
of Director Serafin M. Benaldo, National Barangay Operations Office, Department of Local
Government, dated August 3, 1992, citing Sections 394(c) and 395(c) of the Local
Government Code of 1991, which specifically provide that no government employee may be
appointed as barangay secretary or treasurer and that public school teachers being
government employees are not exempt from said provisions.

2. Wide dissemination of this Order is requested.

DO 3, s. 1992

Prohibition against Issuance of Appointments without Certified Available Funds or

Authorizing Rendition of Services without Valid Appointments

All officers vested with appointing authority are hereby remind of existing rules and
regulations requiring the certification of fund availability prior to issuance of any
appointment and prohibiting the rendition of services without a valid appointment.
1. Special attention is invited to the requirement for prior publication of vacancies as
mandated under RA 7041.

2. It is reiterated that unpaid salaries arising from violations of said rules and
regulations shall be the personal liability of the officers concerned, without prejudice to the
imposition of administrative sanctions prescribed by law. While new appointees may and
should be paid immediately for services rendered, this is contingent always on the issuance
of a valid appointment with certified available funding.

3. In this connection, the acceptance of services offered on a voluntary basis to assume

duties and responsibilities assigned to regular position, which may later be grounds for
claims for compensation or demands for priority in appointment which cannot be
accommodated, should be discouraged.

4. While it is recognized that there may be an acute need for services to be made
available immediately in some instances, the officials concerned are enjoined to adopt such
remedial measures as will not create other problems. The chronic problem of unpaid
salaries among teachers and other personnel should not be exacerbated but resolved once
and for all.
