Reconstitution of CODI in Office of the President

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Resolution No. 01-0490 requires the creation of a Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI) in every agency.
Memorandum Order No. 266 (s. 2007) created the CODI in the Office of the President to receive and investigate sexual harassment complaints.
Memorandum Order No. 266-A (s. 2007) extended the authority of the CODI to act as investigator in sexual harassment cases/complaints against presidential appointees and other public officials and employees of the Office of the President.

The reconstitution under Memorandum Order No. 11 is issued to ensure expedient investigation of sexual harassment cases.

Section 2 of Memorandum Order No. 266 (s. 2007) is amended to establish a CODI composed of six (6) members.
The CODI composition requires three (3) Management Representatives, including one (1) Chairman.
The CODI includes one (1) Second Level Employees’ Representative, one (1) First Level Employees’ Representative, and one (1) Accredited Union Representative.
A quorum is established as a majority of the members of CODI for the transaction of business.

In rendering or issuing its findings and recommendation, the CODI must obtain a majority of all CODI members.
The Chairman votes only in case of a tie.
When the vote of the Chairman is needed, the tie-breaking mechanism operates only through the Chairman’s vote.

The CODI members serve a term of two (2) years, unless replaced earlier (Section 2-A).
CODI member alternates may be designated by the appropriate unit concerned to act as member when the principal member is unable to attend a CODI meeting.

All memorandum orders or portions thereof inconsistent with Memorandum Order No. 11 are revoked, amended, or modified accordingly.
Memorandum Order No. 11 becomes operative immediately upon issuance.
