Financial education will now be part of the Civil Service Commission’s (CSC) learning and development (L&D) program for government workers.

This was announced by CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala during the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and Banco de Oro Foundation, Inc. (BDOF) on 19 July 2019 at the CSC Resource Center.

“Financial education is crucial in building the financial skills of our government workers,” Bala said. “As the premiere human resource (HR) institution of the Philippine government, the CSC is concerned with employee welfare and benefits. It’s good that we now have financial education to complement those HR concerns.”

The Civil Service Commission announced yesterday the semi-finalists to the 2019 Search for Outstanding Government Workers and requested the public to provide feedback, whether positive or negative, on the contenders.

Government employees are invited to join the 2019 R.A.C.E. to Serve Fun Run on 1 September 2019, 4 a.m. at Quirino Grandstand in Manila.

Organized by the Civil Service Commission National Capital Region (CSC NCR), the fun run serves as the official kick-off activity of the month-long Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) in September.

The fun run also seeks to raise awareness on the importance of holistic wellness, provide a venue for interaction among public servants, encourage friendly competition, and foster camaraderie.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Pamanang Lingkod Bayani (PLBi) Program, which honors government officials and employees who died in the line of duty by giving them a one-time financial assistance of Php100,000.00, a plaque of recognition, and scholarship grants to the deceased employee’s immediate family member.
