The Civil Service Commission (CSC) reminds government officials and employees to promptly settle and liquidate cash advances (CA) to avoid liability.

This, after the Commission has come out with CSC Resolution No. 1900929 or revised guidelines on the settlement or liquidation of CA, which sets varying penalties based on the nature of offense and existing circumstances.

An Accountable Officer who, after formal demand by the Resident Commission on Audit (COA) Auditor, fully liquidates, settles, or pays the CA within the period stated in the demand letter, with a valid justification and no aggravating circumstances present, shall be absolved of any administrative liability.

Passers of the 4 August 2019 Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) may now claim their Certification of Eligibility, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) advised.

Passers must personally request and claim their certification at the CSC Regional/Field Office with jurisdiction over the testing center where they took the exam. Representatives are not allowed to claim on behalf of the passers. 

The CSC provides two types of Certification of Eligibility (COE)—the COE printed on CSC letterhead and a regular COE printed on a security paper.

Jobseekers may apply online to government vacancies through JobStreet.com.ph on 21 to 25 October 2019, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.

The CSC, in partnership with JobStreet Philippines, will conduct the first ever Government Online Career Fair (GOCF), an online event where government agencies and jobseekers meet in a virtual environment to exchange information about job openings for a limited duration, or for one week to be exact. The event is part of the celebration of the 119th anniversary of the Philippine Civil Service.

To apply, job seekers must create an account with the JobStreet.com.ph—simply click the “Free Sign Up” icon flashed on the screen and follow the instructions provided by the system. An applicant should also download the Personal Data Sheet (PDS) in Excel format from the same page, accomplish the data required in the PDS, and upload it to the e-resume’ (one time) .

The Civil Service Commission suspends work on October 31 in its central and regional offices to give its employees and officials sufficient time to prepare for the observance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day on November 1 and 2 (special non-working days). This work suspension, however, will not automatically cancel scheduled CSC activities such as training programs and meetings with other government agencies. Regular operations and services will resume on November 4.

A peaceful observance of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to everyone.
