What Subprofessional General Information covers

Working knowledge of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, the ethics law for public servants, peace and human rights concepts, and environmental laws. See the full Subprofessional coverage.

General Information tips

  • Learn the eight norms of conduct in R.A. 6713 as a list — they appear in many forms.
  • Know the 1987 Constitution by article: Bill of Rights is Article III; the constitutional commissions are Article IX.
  • Pair each environmental law with its number and one-line purpose on flashcards.
  • Review a little every day; recall fades faster than skills.

Common traps

  • Mixing up term limits: President (6 years, no re-election), Senators (6 years), House members (3 years).
  • Confusing similar R.A. numbers for environmental laws.
  • Answering from news headlines instead of what the law actually says.
