Tacloban City–The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has released updated guidelines for the Statement of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALN) form, aiming to promote integrity and transparency in government through CSC MC No. 2, s. 2013 and other SALN issuances. The new Omnibus Rules on SALN consolidate and simplify existing policies, replacing previous guidelines and amendments, to ensure a more efficient and uniform process across agencies.
Key updates include the incorporation of CSC Resolution No. 2400263, enabling digital SALN filing and submission, featuring online oath-taking and filing, and digital repository submission.
This shift to digital modernizes the process, making it faster and more convenient for government employees.
The updated Omnibus Rules outline clear procedures for SALN filing upon assumption of office, annual submissions, and separation from service, addressing gaps in previous guidelines.
Key changes include guidance for new employees, those leaving government service, and individuals in multiple marriages, as well as removing the spouse’s signature requirement. These reforms underscore the CSC’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and public trust.
