The Civil Service Commission (CSC), which has the primary responsibility in the administration and enforcement of RA 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, which among others, includes the enforcement of the Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth (SALN), reminds all public officials and employees to file their SALN for the 2010 declarations (as of December 31, 2010).
Public officials and employees have until April 30, 2011 to file their SALN using the 1994 SALN form.
The SALN is a comprehensive record of a declarant’s assets, liabilities, net worth, business interests and financial connections, including those of his or her spouse and unmarried children below 18 years old. It also includes names of the declarant’s relatives in government up to the fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity.
CSC chair Francisco T. Duque III reminds government officials and employees that the SALN is accomplished under oath. Falsification of information or underdeclaration may be subject to disciplinary or criminal action under RA 6713.
A copy of the 1994 SALN Form can be downloaded from the CSC websit at www.csc.gov.ph.
