G.R. No. 206379, November 19, 2014, CECILIA PAGADUAN, PETITIONER, VS. CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSION* AND REMA MARTIN SALVADOR, RESPONDENTS.
“X x x.
As a final note, it must be borne in mind that a PDS
is a public document26 required
of a government employee and official by the CSC. It is the repository of all
information about any government employee or official regarding his personal
background, qualification, and eligibility. Government employees are tasked
under the Civil Service rules to properly and completely accomplish their PDS,27 in accordance
with the constitutional principle that public office is a public trust, thereby
enjoining all public officers and employees to serve with the highest degree of
responsibility, integrity, loyalty and efficiency.28 Only those who can live up to such
exacting standard deserve the honor of continuing in public service.29
X x x.”
