VILLARAMA, JR., J.
Both the Ombudsman and CA found the petitioner administratively liable for violating Section 4(A)(b) on professionalism.  "Professionalism" is defined as the conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession.  A professional refers to a person who engages in an activity with great competence. Indeed, to call a person a professional is to describe him as competent, efficient, experienced, proficient or polished.[18]  In the context of Section 4 (A)(b) of R.A. No. 6713,  the observance of professionalism also means upholding the integrity of public office by endeavoring "to discourage wrong perception of their roles as dispensers or peddlers of undue patronage."   Thus, a public official or employee should avoid any appearance of impropriety affecting the integrity of government services.  However, it should be noted that Section 4(A) enumerates the standards of personal conduct for public officers with reference to "execution of official duties."

The OAS's sole basis in faulting Minerva, Ilagan's superior, was the affixing of her initials on the journal entry voucher prepared by Ilagan. Without more, the negligence of Ilagan, a subordinate, does not amount to negligence of Minerva, the superior.[14]

CALLEJO, SR., J.
Neither can respondent be made administratively liable for the dismissal of the Hirang case in which he had no participation. The negligence of the subordinate cannot be ascribed to his superior in the absence of evidence of the latter's own negligence.[43]
