If there is a government worker that inspired you or has changed the lives of people they serve, improved the community, and or made significant contributions to the nation, nominate them to the 2025 Search for Outstanding Government Workers. Nominations may be submitted until 31 March 2025.

As part of the government’s Honor Awards Program (HAP), the annual Search aims to recognize civil servants for their dedication and commitment to public service while inspiring others to uphold excellence and integrity in government work.

All career and non-career government employees, including appointive barangay officials, are eligible for nomination. However, individuals engaged under Job Order (JO) or Contract of Service (COS) arrangements are not covered by the program.

Nominations may be submitted for the three national honor awards:

• Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award – For civil servants whose exceptional achievements have made a national impact pursuant to Executive Order No. 508, s. 1992;
• CSC Pagasa Award – For those whose contributions led to innovations, digital transformation, or other significant improvements within their agency, department, or region; and
• Outstanding Public Officials and Employees (Dangal ng Bayan) Award – For public servants who have consistently demonstrated exemplary ethical behavior under Republic Act No. 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, even in the face of challenges or temptations inherent in their work.

Posthumous nominations may also be submitted for public servants who died in the line of duty, provided the nomination is made within 12 months from the date of death.

Awardees will be entitled to rewards and incentives, including cash prizes, automatic promotion or salary increase equivalent to the next higher position, one-time executive check-up, and scholarship opportunities with any of CSC’s partner educational institutions, among others.

The complete guidelines and nomination forms are available and may be downloaded from the CSC website.
