RE: REQUEST OF CHIEF JUSTICE ARTEMIO v. PANGANIBAN FOR RE-COMPUTATION OF HIS CREDITABLE SERVICE FOR PURPOSE OF RE-COMPUTING HIS RETIREMENT BENEFITS.
PERLAS-BERNABE, J.
"Public office" is the right, authority and duty, created and conferred by law, by which, for a given period, either fixed by law or enduring at the pleasure of the creating power, an individual is invested with some portion of the sovereign functions of the government, to be exercised by the individual for the benefit of the public.[30] When the term is used with reference to a person having to do a particular act or to perform a particular function in the exercise of governmental power, it includes any government employee, agent or body to do the act or exercise that function.[31]
