As the government undergoes devolution, Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles reminded local chief executives to ensure uninterrupted service delivery.
“Dahil sa kasalukuyang devolution, inaasahan nating may mangyayaring mga pagbabago sa mga pamahalaang lokal. Kaya tayo ay umaapela sa mga local chief executives na siguruhing tuluy-tuloy ang pagbibigay ng mahusay na serbisyo sa kanilang mga constituents, lalung-lalo na pagdating sa mga basic and critical services na kailangang-kailangan ng ating mga kababayan,” Nograles said.
The CSC chief said that any feedback on government frontline services may be reported to the Contact Center ng Bayan by sending an SMS/text message to 0908-8816565, email to This email address is being protected from spambots.

It can be recalled that the previous administration issued Executive Order (EO) No. 138 dated 1 June 2021, mandating the full devolution of certain functions of the Executive Branch to the Local Government Units (LGUs). The devolution is in consonance with the Supreme Court decision, known as the “Mandanas ruling”, which increased the National Tax Allotment of LGUs; consequently, the national government is constrained to download or transfer its certain functions down to the LGUs.

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles underscored the critical role of human resource (HR) management as the public sector workplace faces transformations brought by COVID-19.
In his virtual keynote message at the Seminar-Conference on Public Sector Productivity held by the Development Academy of the Philippines on 18 November 2022 via hybrid mode, the CSC chief said that the global pandemic caused drastic shifts in the way people work and organizations function, and that HR is at the center of this transition.
“HR was given the chance to strengthen its role and to contribute in ways that will be more effective and more valued than ever before. Instead of seeing the glass as half-empty, organizations, which include our government offices, are allowed to implement changes with HR at the forefront,” he said.
