                    (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.
