| Executive Order No. (EO) 292, otherwise known as the "Administrative Code of 1987," provides that a public employee's failure to pay just debts is a ground for disciplinary action. Section 22, Rule XIV of the Rules Implementing Book V of EO 292, as modified by Section 52,[21] Rule IV of the Uniform Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (Rules), defines "just debts" as those: (a) claims adjudicated by a court of law; or (b) claims the existence and justness of which are admitted by the debtor. Under the same Rules, willful failure to pay just debts is classified as a light offense, with the corresponding penalty of reprimand for the first offense.[22] | |||||
