TWENTIETH CONGRESS OF THE ) REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES First Regular Session JUL -8 P6:06 SENATE S. No. — Introduced by Senator Francis G. Escudero AN ACT PROVIDING FOR THE AUTOMATIC PROMOTION OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES UPON RETIREMENT FROM GOVERNMENT SERVICE AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES EXPLANATORY NOTE It is not an overstatement to say that the men and women in the government service, particularly those who have committed most of their lifetime as government workers for twenty years or so, are dedicated and devoted public servants. But beyond this statement, nothing much awaits them as they finally leave government service. This bill therefore aims to give due recognition to these government workers by the expedient act of promoting them one grade higher at the time of their retirement. This proposed automatic promotion upon retirement policy similar to the military service should likewise be extended to the civil service. Respectfully submitted. FRANCIS G. ESCUDERO
