THE Senate approved on second reading Senate Bill 2875 which seeks to give security of tenure to all casual and contractual government employees who have been serving the government for a substantial period of time.
Sponsored by Senator Antonio “Sonny” Trillanes IV, SBN 2875 shall provide security of tenure for casual and contractual government employees who have rendered at least five years of continuous service in the case of national government and 10 years in the case of local government units by giving them “co-terminus with the incumbent or CTI status.”
SBN 2875 is a consolidation of Senate bills filed by Senators Ramon Revilla Jr., Francis Pangilinan, Trillanes, Loren Legarda and Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada as well as former Senator Miguel Zubiri.
Trillanes explained that the original intent of the bill was to provide civil service eligibility to casual and contractual state workers who have rendered long years of service to the government.
However, the committee took note of the points raised by the Civil Service Commission during the committee deliberations of the bills.
