Full-Time Position Commitment Act (Proposed)

Public service is a public trust, yet many elected officials in the Philippines treat their positions as part-time roles — appearing only during sessions, public events, or election seasons. This cultural norm has eroded public confidence, widened the gap between public officials and ordinary citizens, and allowed negligence, absenteeism, and political posturing to replace genuine governance.

Unlike regular public officials or private employees who are required to report to work daily and account for their time, many elected officials enjoy unchecked flexibility, without standardized working hours, leave monitoring, or performance metrics. This double standard fosters inefficiency, delays in public programs, and a culture of impunity in government service.

The proposed Full-Time Position Commitment Act requires all elected officials to observe an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. work schedule from Monday to Friday, mirroring the obligations of regular public officials or private employees. They will be subject to standard vacation and sick leave regulations, and their daily presence must be logged and published monthly for transparency.

This law applies equally to national and local officials, ensuring that those entrusted with legislative, executive, or judicial functions fulfill their mandate consistently.

Members of The Great Nation 2025 Political Party shall commit to this principle by sworn affidavit, affirming that public office is not a symbolic title but a full-time job. This measure redefines leadership through discipline, presence, and daily service - restoring dignity to public office by aligning it with the everyday labor of the people they claim to serve.
