    Government officials and employees are not barred from running for delegate to the Constitutional Convention, but must relinquish their positions if elected. This condition is imposed for public interest reasons: 1) certain government positions provide advantages for campaigns that could undermine equal protection, and 2) allowing officials to campaign and serve as delegates without vacating their positions would detrimentally deprive the public of their government services for an unpredictable time as the convention lasts.

    In Re Subido 35 SCRA 1 (1970) Held: Government officials and employees are not absolutely barred from becoming candidates

    for the office of Delegate to the Constitutional Convention, the only condition being that when they do so they should relinquish their positions; that this condition is imposed for reasons of public interest, among the most important of which are, first, that there are certain gover nment offices which afford their occupants many built in advantages not available to others and which may be used or abused to enhance their own candidacies, contrary to the veryspirit of the equal protection clause invoked by the petitioners; and second,that to allow government officials and employees to campaign for the Convention and, if elected, to sit as Delegates therein without vacating their positions would be clearly detrimental to the government and to the public at large, which would thereby be deprived of their services for the unpredictable length of time that the Convention may last, without such positions being filled through new appointments, resulting in disruption of public service.
