Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chair Ricardo Saludo and Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC) President Dr. Lauro Tacbas signed recently a Memorandum of Agreement to secure education benefits for families of government personnel who died or were killed in the line of duty.
