A total of 276,819 examinees nationwide will take the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) on Sunday, 4 August 2019, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) reported.

The figure is distributed into 243,020 examinees taking the Professional level and 33,799 examinees for the Subprofessional level.

The CSC advised examinees to come as early as 6:00 a.m. to verify and locate their room assignment. Gates of testing venues will be closed at exactly 7:30 a.m. and those who will arrive later will not be admitted. Failure to take the examination shall mean forfeiture of examination fee and slot, and the CSC will not allow any re-scheduling.

School assignments are available through the Online Notice of School Assignment (ONSA). Those who are unable to generate their school and room assignment via ONSA may call the CSC Regional or Field Office where they filed their exam application. The directory of CSC offices can be found here.

Application for the 13 October 2019 Intermediate Competency on Local Treasury Examination (ICLTE) will run from 23 July to 22 August, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.

The ICLTE is a part of the Standardized Examination and Assessment for Local Treasury Service (SEAL) Program of the Department of Finance (DOF). As such, the ICLTE forms part of the assessment of the DOF in the selection, appointment, designation, and promotion to higher positions in the local treasury service that do not require practice of profession and are not covered by Bar/Board and special laws.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) conferred the PRIME-HRM Bronze Award to 106 government agencies for elevating the standard of human resource management (HRM) at the 2019 Public Sector HR Symposium on 24 July 2019 at the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay City.

Awardees came from all over the country, with the most coming from Region XI with 15 awardees; Region III, 14 awardees; Regions VI and National Capital Region, 12 awardees each; and Region I, 11 awardees. The agency representatives received a Plaque of Recognition from CSC.

“These agencies are investing on their people by having quality HRM systems and processes because they see the link between people excellence and public service excellence. We commend them and hope that they serve as an inspiration for other government agencies to follow,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala.

All government offices, especially those providing frontline services, are required to provide express lanes for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) issued the reminder as the nation observed National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week from 17 to 23 July 2019.

CSC Memorandum Circular No. 20, s. 2017, signed by Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala, orders all government agencies to “provide express lanes for PWDs or in the absence thereof, priority shall be given to PWDs in all the transactions therein."

The circular is based on the provisions of Republic Act No. 10754, or An Act Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of Persons with Disability, and its implementing rules and regulations.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) called on government agencies to step up their human resource (HR) management systems and competencies to achieve the nation’s collective vision.

At the 2019 Public Sector HR Symposium Media Briefing held 24 July 2019 at the Philippine International Convention Center, Pasay City, CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala underscored the critical role of the civil service in attaining AmBisyon Natin 2040, which represents the collective long-term vision and aspirations of the Filipino people.

“Human resource is the catalyst to achieve the Filipino’s collective vision of a matatag, maginhawa, at panatag na buhay. The government cannot accomplish its desired outcomes when the civil servants are not fully capable, are disengaged, and lack a service-oriented attitude,” Chairperson Bala said.
