The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has issued the Revised Dress Code for government officials and employees when performing official duties, both on and off government premises.

In CSC Resolution No. 24000766 promulgated on 29 August 2024, the CSC introduced updated dress code guidelines aimed at boosting employee morale, professionalism, and productivity of the over two million civil servants, whether working onsite or under flexible arrangements.

The Revised Dress Code is aligned with the implementation of Republic Act No. 9242 (Philippine Tropical Fabrics Law), the CSC-DOH-DOLE Joint Memorandum Circular No. 1, s. 2020 (Occupational Safety and Health Standards for the Public Sector), and CSC Resolution No. 2200209 (Policies on Flexible Work Arrangements in Government). The new rules also address emerging social issues such as gender equality, disability inclusion, and social diversity.

It covers all government officials and employees regardless of employment status, whether appointive or elective, in all government agencies and instrumentalities, namely: constitutional bodies; departments, bureaus, and agencies of national government agencies; government-owned and controlled corporations with original charters; local government units; and state universities and colleges.

Applications for the 2 March 2025 Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) for Professional and Subprofessional Levels are set from 19 November 2024 to 3 January 2025, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced.

The CSC stressed that applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, and that the CSC Regional Offices (ROs) or Field Offices (FOs) may stop receiving applications any time before the deadline once it has reached the target number of applicants.

In addition, CSC ROs and FOs will accept limited applications from 16 to 27 December 2024 to give way to the preparation and submission of year-end reports and program or project evaluation reports.
