EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 328

: It addresses the conduct of government officers or employees who resign within three months before an election to run for elective office or promote the candidacies of others, then seek reappointment after the election.
: The prohibited practice is resigning shortly before elections to engage in political campaigns with an understanding of reappointment if election outcomes favor their candidates, which involves public employees in partisan politics and circumvents civil service rules.
: Such an officer or employee is ineligible for reappointment or reinstatement in the government service for six months after the election.
: Yes, it applies to any election whether national or local.
: The resignation must occur within three months before any election to trigger the ineligibility for reappointment or reinstatement.
: The duration of ineligibility is six months after the election.
: The order was issued upon the recommendation of the Commissioner of Civil Service and the Secretary of the Interior.
: It prejudices the government service because it involves public officers in partisan politics and allows them to avoid civil service rules prohibiting detrimental political activities by government employees.
