Civil Service Commission, supra note 109. [113] Chavez v. PCGG, 360 Phil 133, 164 (1998). [114] In Legaspi v. Civil Service Commission, supra note 109 at 541, it was held that: In determining whether or not a particular information is of public concern there is no rigid test which can be applied. `Public concern' like `public interest' is a term that eludes exact definition. Both terms embrace a broad spectrum of subjects which the public may want to know, either because these directly affect their lives, or simply because such matters naturally arouse the interest of an ordinary citizen. In the final analysis, it is for the courts to determine on a case by case basis whether the matter at issue is of interest or importance, as it relates to or affects the public.
