    In re Eduardo Escala

    Facts:
    A complaint was filed against the respondent alleging that he accepted employment as Chief Judicial
    Staff Officer of the Supreme Court, and thus received salaries and other benefits as such, while still
    remaining an active member and officer of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

    Issue:
    WoN Respondent Escala is guilty of gross dishonesty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of
    service warranting dismissal, in violation of the Civil Service Law?

    Held:
    The Court found that respondent was liable for gross dishonesty and conduct prejudicial to the best
    interest of the service. His non-disclosure of the material fact that he was still employed as an active
    member of the PNP and receiving his monthly salaries during the period that he was already a Court
    employee is considered substantial proof that he tried to cheat/defraud both the PNP and the Court.
    Respondent transgressed the Constitution and the Civil Service law on the prohibition on dual
    employment and double compensation in the government service.
