Priority by residency: (1) residents of the barangay where the school is located; (2) residents of the municipality; (3) residents of the city/province. If a secondary school vacancy exists and there is no qualified teacher-applicant in the preferred specialization, the school may accept qualified applicants from nearby localities as long as they are included in the secondary school registry/pool.

For classroom public school teachers, protests prescribe in three months from issuance of appointment/assignment. For filing, the protest is filed with the regional office within ninety (90) days from issuance of the appointment/assignment.
After receipt, the Regional Director has 72 hours to furnish the complaint copy to the appointing/assigning official; the respondent has 15 days to answer; the complainant then has 15 days to submit/refute the reply; the Regional Director then has 15 days to decide. There is also an appeal to the Secretary and finally to the Civil Service Commission.
