MESSAGE OF CSC CHAIRPERSON KARLO A. B. NOGRALES
Christmas and New Year
25 December 2023
This year, we were tested by challenges - some familiar and some new. But as we have always done, we weathered every crisis with a resilient and enduring spirit that has come to define us as Filipinos.
Through it all, the dedication of our public servants shone through our modern-day heroes who stood their ground and served with passion and integrity, even in the face of adversity.
Mula sa mga healthcare workers na nagtatrabaho nang walang kapaguran upang magligtas ng mga buhay, sa mga guro na nagmumulat ng kaisipan ng mga kabataan, sa mga inhinyero na nagtatayo ng mga tulay na nagdadala sa atin ng mas malapit sa isa't isa, at sa mga social workers na nagbibigay gabay sa mga komunidad. — each one of them embodies what it truly means to be a "Lingkod Bayani." Amidst the disruptions brought by social, political, and environmental issues, civil servants serve as the anchors of stability, the engines of progress, and the symbol of continuity in a world of many uncertainties.
This season, let us honor the spirit of Christmas not just with festive gatherings, but by serving those in need. As we take comfort in the warmth of family and friends, let us not forget the true meaning of our celebrations and our moral duty to help uplift the lives of those who are less fortunate than us. In this season of giving, let our greatest gift be the unwavering strength of our community, shining its light brightly for all to see.
As we turn the page to a new year, let us embrace the promise of renewal. Let us commit to building a Philippines where compassion reigns, where every Filipino thrives, and where the light of public service shines ever brighter. May we forge a path of innovation, driven by excellence, integrity, and love for our country leaving behind a legacy of good governance for generations to come.
Sa ngalan ng Komisyon sa Serbiyo Sibil, hiling ko para sa inyong lahat ang kaligayahan at kasaganahan ngayong Pasko at sa darating na bagong taon.
Mabuhay po kayo!
