Prohibited Acts and Transactions
Inaddition to acts and omissions of
public officials and employees, the
following shall constitute prohibited
acts and transactions:
a. Financial and material interest
OFFENSES
Simple Misconduct
Clearly, the pendency of Plaza’s administrative
case is not a material fact, hence, when she
failed to indicate the same in her PDS, she could
not be held liable for a grave offense.
Nonetheless, the fact that Plaza failed to fully
disclose the truth in an official document such as
the PDS is a clear transgression of the norms
and standards expected of her as a public
servant. Verily, the said act constitutes Simple
Misconduct for which Plaza should be held
liable. (Plaza, Amparo, CSC Resolution NO. 98-
0888, April 23, 1998)
Insubordination
A deliberate and wilful refusal to comply with a
lawful request or order of a higher authority.
Appellant’s lack of initiative to clarify her status
and the duties she had to perform, exacerbated by
her refusal to explain the circumstances behind her
failure to attend the hearings, ignoring it with a
shrug and simply stating that she considers the
subject Order as illegal, betrays her adamant and
antagonistic attitude towards her superiors.
