CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala reminded government offices nationwide to ensure that a skeletal force is in place to ensure that all clients who are within their premises are attended to amid the conduct of Christmas parties.
“Let us celebrate the spirit of Christmas by ensuring efficient, responsive and compassionate delivery of public service to our clients,” said the CSC chairperson.
The CSC Chairperson also urged heads of agencies to issue advisories to enjoin employees to accept requests and/or applications with complete requirements being submitted by a client and attend to clients who are within the premises of the office or agency concerned prior to the end of official working hours in compliance with Rule XIII, Section 1 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery (EODB EGSD) Act of 2018 even while holding their year-end activities.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) warned the public against unscrupulous individuals engaged in money-making schemes.
“A scam is currently circulating wherein a government worker is informed that an administrative case was purportedly filed against him/her before the Commission,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa Bala.
The CSC has received reports of individuals pretending to be officers from its Office for Legal Affairs calling government agencies and employees to inform them that an
administrative case was filed against them. The concerned employee is then instructed to pay a certain amount of money in exchange for the settlement of the case.
The public is advised to immediately report such activities to the CSC’s Office for Legal Affairs at telephone numbers (02) 8931-8016 and (02) 8931-7935 local 401 to 411 or email ola.csc.gov.ph. Scams can also be reported to the Contact Center ng Bayan 165-65 or send SMS to 0908-8816565.

In observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women from November 25 to December 12, the Civil Service Commission (CSC), the central personnel institution of the Philippine Government, called on government agencies to do their share in ending violence against women (VAW) in the workplace.
“It is imperative that workplaces are kept fair, safe, and secure for women as it is where most employed women spend at least one-third of their day. This is specially critical in the public sector where half of the workforce is composed of women,” said CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala.
Based on the CSC’s Inventory of Government Human Resources as of 31 May 2019, of the total 1,728,641 officials and employees in the career and non-career service, 879,524 or 50.88% are females while 849,117 or 49.12% are males.
She said that VAW impacts on the physical, mental, economic, and social well-being, and when women in public service become the victims, it can hamper productivity and the quality of public services.
