MC No. 8, s. 2010
• All Heads of Constitutional Bodies; Departments,
Bureaus, Offices and Agencies of the National
Government; Local Government Units; GovernmentOwned and Controlled Corporations; and State
Universities and Colleges
• Subject: Policy Guidelines on the Effects of Death of
the Respondent in Administrative Cases
Pursuant to CSC Resolution No. 10-0341 dated
February 24, 2010, the Commission promulgated
the Policy Guidelines on the Effects of Death of
the Respondent in Administrative Cases, as
follows:
“1. In situations where the death occurred while
the case is pending formal investigation:
“1.1 The administrative case should not be dismissed when
the death of the respondent occurred when the formal
investigation reached the stage where respondent is
considered to have been afforded due process, as when
the following concur: 1) respondent was notified of the
charge against him/her as when he/she was issued the
formal charge; and 2) when respondent has filed an
answer to the formal charge or has waived his/her right
to file the same ( as this is the stage when respondent
has been afforded the opportunity to explain his/her
side).”
“1.2 If the respondent dies before he/she
could explain his/her side through an
answer to the formal charge, the
administrative case shall be dismissed on
account of the death of the respondent as
he/she cannot be deemed to have been
accorded the opportunity to be heard
which is a basic element of due process.
“2. In situations where the death occurred after respondent
has perfected his/her appeal before the Commission, the
appeal shall continue until its final determination. In the
event the deceased respondent-appellant wins the
appeal, material and/or pecuniary benefits arising from
the case, if any, shall accrue to the legal heirs of the
deceased respondent-appellant subject to the Law on
Succession. In case the material benefit is covered by a
special law (e.g. the GSIS Law) which specifies the one
who is entitled to receive the benefit of the deceased,
the same shall be applied.”
