Government workers should provide fast, efficient, and honest services to the public.
This reminder was issued by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) as it launched Oplan Malasakit sa Serbisyo, the conduct of spot checks of government agencies nationwide. In her frontline service visit to agencies in Legazpi City, CSC Commissioner Aileen Lourdes A. Lizada reiterated her call to all government workers to be quick, courteous, and efficient in dealing with clients.
“The conduct of spot checks is in line with the CSC’s role in the Philippine Development Plan under Pillar 1, Malasakit or Enhancing the Social Fabric. We will be testing the frontline services of government agencies including LGUs. Our teams go out incognito and transact with these agencies to personally get a feel on the kind of treatment that ordinary clients experience when they go to government agencies,” explained Commissioner Lizada, adding, “If the first two visits in the LGUs of Naval and Legazpi City are an indicator, marami pang areas for improvement in the delivery of government services.”

Be quick, courteous, and efficient in dealing with clients. Government working hours should not be spent playing games or in social media.
This warning was issued by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) as Commissioner Aileen Lourdes A. Lizada announced that she will do spot checks of national government agencies and local government units nationwide to check services provided.
“In all my regional visits, the formula will be the same. We will visit government offices at any given hour. We need to let government workers know that the CSC is monitoring them. Hindi ibig sabihin na nakapasok ka sa gobyerno ay wala na pong check. Paalala po sa lahat ng kawani ng gobyerno na gawin po natin ang nararapat lamang, magbigay ng mahusay at tapat na serbisyo sa kliyente natin,” explained CSC Commissioner Lizada.
