VILLARAMA, JR., J. |
||||
| In Tanjay Water District v. Quinit, Jr.,[35] we said: Indeed, no officer or employee in the Civil Service shall be removed or suspended except for cause provided by law. The phrase "cause provided by law," however, includes "loss of confidence." It is an established rule that the tenure of those holding primarily confidential positions ends upon loss of confidence, because their term of office lasts only as long as confidence in them endures. Their termination can be justified on the ground of loss of confidence, in which case, their cessation from office involves no removal but the expiration of their term of office. | |||||
