| A PDS is an official document required of a government employee and official by the Civil Service Commission. It is the repository of all information about any government employee or official regarding his personal background, qualification, and eligibility. Government employees are tasked under the Civil Service rules to properly and completely accomplish their PDS.[30] The act of making untruthful statements, or concealment of any information in the PDS, constitutes dishonesty and is punishable under the Civil Service rules.[31] Dishonesty is a "disposition to lie, cheat, deceive or defraud; untrustworthiness; lack of integrity; lack of honesty, probity or integrity in principle; lack of fairness and straightforwardness."[32] Dishonesty inevitably reflects on the discipline and morale of the service.[33] | |||||

| The security guards on duty did not see Discipulo [punch his time card in the bundy clock at 12:00 and 5:00 p.m. on 9 and 17 February 2006, respectively ]. The only plausible explanation why Discipulo's time card was [punched in the bundy clock in the morning and at noon of 9 and 17 February 2006, respectively, and was not punched in the bundy clock after office hours on those dates is] that he left the office surreptitiously or without the knowledge of the security guards x x x, otherwise [the time he left the office] would have been entered in the logbook.[18] (Emphasis ours) In Duque v. Aspiras,[19] the Court held that employees who commit irregularities in the keeping of time records are administratively liable. Falsification of time records constitutes dishonesty, [20] which is a disposition to lie or deceive.[21] In Re: Failure of Jose Dante E. Guerrero to Register His Time In and Out in Chronolog Time Recorder Machine on Several Dates,[22] the Court imposed the penalty of six months suspension to an employee found guilty of dishonesty for falsifying his time records. | |||||
