In recent years, the word ‘smart’ has evolved from being just an adjective for humans and animals, into one that is used for gadgets (e.g. smartphones, smartwatches, smart TV, etc.), then eventually to describe something as huge as a city (smart city). The Smart City has recently caught the attention of local government leaders as the concept poses the challenge to adopt practices that are more people-centric, culturally intelligent, and creative, especially by integrating information and communication technology to strategies.
Eventually, the concept of “Smart Cities” has expanded to cover “Smart Organizations”, where leaders apply the principles learned from the former to manage technology and cultural diversity in organizations toward nurturing high performance.
To equip organizational leaders at that, the Civil Service Commission (CSC), through the Civil Service Institute (CSI), will again gather government leaders, executives, and managers to its 3rd quarter conduct of the CSI Leadership Series themed “Leading Smart Organizations” on September 6, 2017 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Ortigas Center, Quezon City.

Joint Circular No. 1, s. 2017, which was jointly issued by the Civil Service Commission (CSC), Commission on Audit (COA), and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), aims to protect Job Order (JO) and Contract of Service (COS) workers while recognizing the need for government agencies to hire personnel on temporary basis.
The CSC issued this clarification in response to reports that the said joint circular promotes illegal labor contractualization (‘endo’), contrary to the thrusts of the present administration.
The CSC said that the circular allows the procurement of services of JO and COS workers to ensure the continuous and efficient delivery of government programs and services, such as in the implementation of projects requiring personnel with skills or expertise not available in the agency, or implementation of time-bound projects or tasks which renders the hiring of permanent employees impractical and more expensive.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) invites the public to avail of government services at the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) Caravan held at the 2017 Public Sector Human Resource Symposium on July 4-6 at the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay City.
One of the highlights of the 2017 HR Symposium is the Dekada na ang ARTA, as the CSC celebrates ten years of implementing Republic Act No. 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) of 2007 which was signed on June 2, 2007. The event showcases how ARTA helped shape change in public service delivery.
The ARTA Caravan, which began in 2016, engages the citizenry in improving public service delivery by increasing awareness on the anti-red tape campaign and on citizens’ rights and responsibilities as clients or consumers of government services. “To exact accountability, there must be vigilant eyes that watch government operations. It is within the client’s right to expect more for every centavo’s worth of the taxes paid, to clamor for better education, infrastructure, law enforcement, judicial system, and public service delivery,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela-Rosa Bala.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) celebrates ten years of implementing the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) which was signed last June 2, 2007. For this year, the CSC launches Dekada na ang ARTA with a photo contest dubbed #MakuhaKaSaARTA, along with other activities slated throughout the year.
“We invite everyone to support the 10th year of the implementation of Republic Act No. 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Act. ARTA aims to cut red tape in government frontline service offices. It speeds up various transactions of citizens with government offices,” CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said.
The contest enjoins the public to capture excellent public service as defined by the ARTA. This includes good physical set-up of a government frontline service office, frontliners ready to serve with a smile, satisfied clients, and observance of No Noon Break policy.
