Table 2: Comparing Civil-Service Systems: the External Environment
Patronage system (modern) Merit system
Political arrangements and the civil-service system
Modern spoils systems are informal, hidden behind formal merit systems.
Informal patronage politics are based on spoils systems, affinity systems
Merit systems arise under mature democracies with checks and balances and where political parties are funded independently of civil-service spoils.
A merit system, by protecting civil servants from politicians, promotes credible commitment, but at the risk of shirking and inefficiency.
Labor-market conditions and the civil-service system
Scarcity of “modern-sector” jobs.Poorly functioning labor markets, and scarcities of qualified people.
Well-functioning labor markets, but many civil services function as internal labor markets, insulated from the national market.
Under Public Law No. 5 ("An Act for the Establishment and Maintenance of Our Efficient and Honest Civil Service in the Philippine Island") in 1900 by the Second Philippine Commission.
It was reorganized into a Bureau in 1905.
A Civil Service Board was created composed of a Chairman, a Secretary and a Chief Examiner.
Historical Developments
In 1935, Philippine Constitution firmly established the merit system as the basis for employment in government.
In 1959, Republic Act 2260, otherwise known as the Civil Service Law, was enacted. This Act converted the Bureau of Civil Service into the Civil Service Commission with department status.
In 1975, Presidential Decree No. 807 (The Civil Service Decree of the Philippines) redefined the role of the Commission as the central personnel agency of government.
Historical Developments
Its present mandate is derived from Article IX-B of the 1987 Constitution which was given effect through Book V of Executive Order No. 292 (The 1987 Administrative Code).
The Code essentially reiterates existing principles and policies in the administration of the bureaucracy and recognizes, for the first time, the right of government employees to self-organization and collective negotiations under the framework of the 1987 Constitution.
