Officers of the Senate Secretariat
The Senate Secretariat
is headed by a Secretary, who is elected by members of the Senate. The Secretary
assists the Senate President in extending adequate and timely legislative
and administrative support to the offices of Senators. He exercises supervision
and control over all the offices of the service units and officers and employees
of the Secretariat. He formulates plans, policies and programs aimed at
professionalizing the institution.
The Secretary is assisted
by appointed deputy secretaries, and the Sergeant-at-Arms, who is also elected
by the Senators. The Secretariat is divided into four major departments
all under the Office of the Senate Secretary: the Legislation Department,
the Administration and Financial Department, the Office of External Affairs
and Relations, and the Office of the Sergeant-At-Arms.
