	AM No. 10-5-7-SC 2010-12-07	JOVITO S. OLAZO v. JUSTICE DANTE O. TINGA BRION, J.
As a rule, government lawyers are not allowed to engage in the private practice of their profession during their incumbency.[29] By way of exception, a government lawyer can engage in the practice of his or her profession under the following conditions: first, the private practice is authorized by the Constitution or by the law; and second, the practice will not conflict or tend to conflict with his or her official functions.[30] The last paragraph of Section 7 provides an exception to the exception. In case of lawyers separated from the government service who are covered under subparagraph (b) (2) of Section 7 of R.A. No. 6713, a one-year prohibition is imposed to practice law in connection with any matter before the office he used to be with.
