                (a) The ideal concept of public office, expressed by the 
            words, ``A public office is a public trust'', signifies that 
            the officer has been entrusted with public power by the 
            people; that the officer holds this power in trust to be 
            used only for their benefit and never for the benefit of 
            himself or of a few; and that the officer must never conduct 
            his own affairs so as to infringe on the public interest. 
            All official conduct of Members of the Senate should be 
            guided by this paramount concept of public office.
