June 4, 1999 REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 43-99 TO : All Revenue Officials and Employees SUBJECT : DOF Policy on the Extension of Services For the information and guidance of all revenue officials and employees, quoted hereunder is the Memorandum dated May 27, 1999 of the Secretary of Finance to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue concerning the Department's policy on the extension of services: "MEMORANDUM May 27, 1999 TO : Beethoven L. Rualo Commissioner of Internal Revenue FROM : Edgardo B. Espiritu Secretary of Finance RE : Extension of Service The Department has taken due notice of the various requests for extension of service of a number of revenue officials who shall soon reach the compulsory age of retirement. While the Department is certain that the officials have served the Bureau with utmost dedication and possess excellent qualifications for the positions they now occupy, the Department is of the firm belief that the managerial ranks of the Bureau are not lacking in talent and leadership potential. In this regard, the Department is more inclined to grant sufficient opportunities for promising revenue officials to prove their worth and their capabilities as future managers of our country's premier tax agency. As such, please be advised that the Department will, as a matter of policy, decline the extension of services of retiring revenue officials. The concerned individuals are therefore strongly encouraged to undertake all necessary measures to ensure a smooth transition period for their incoming successors. They may rest assured that, although their services will not be extended, their legacy of excellence in service to the public shall remain as [a] source of inspiration to future generations of internal revenuers. cdlex The Department trusts that this policy shall be communicated to the management of the Bureau, and the Department assures you of its support in your continuing endeavors to enhance the quality of leadership at the Bureau. (SGD.) EDGARDO B. ESPIRITU Secretary" For your information and guidance. (SGD.) BEETHOVEN L. RUALO Commissioner of Internal Revenue
