The Civil Service Commission (CSC) kicked off the celebration of the 124th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) slated for September with a press conference today, 1 August 2024, at the Philippine Information Agency in Visayas Avenue, Quezon City.

The CSC is spearheading the 124th PCSA pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 1050, series of 1997, which was signed by the late President Fidel V. Ramos, declaring the month of September as Civil Service Month. This is also in observance of the establishment of the Philippine Civil Service by virtue of Public Law No. 5 (An Act for the Establishment and Maintenance of an Efficient and Honest Civil Service in the Philippine Islands), enacted on 19 September 1900.

CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles, alongside CSC Commissioners Aileen Lourdes A. Lizada and Ryan Alvin R. Acosta, led the 124th PCSA conference. During the event, they informed the public and media representatives about the activities planned for the month-long celebration for the entire government workforce.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) urged barangay health workers (BHWs) to apply for career service eligibility that can be used in applying for permanent positions in the government.

CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles said that in accordance with Republic Act (RA) No. 7883, or the Barangay Health Workers’ Benefits and Incentives Act of 1995, the CSC promulgated Resolution No. 992845 which grants civil service eligibility to BHWs in recognition of their voluntary service to the community.

“Our BHWs, although volunteers, are vital frontliners in our mission to provide accessible and reliable primary healthcare services at the local level. The Barangay Health Worker Eligibility (BHWE) serves as a token of appreciation, recognizing not only their invaluable role as special partners in promoting a healthier nation but also their dedication to public service,” said Chairperson Nograles.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) enjoins all civil servants nationwide to join the celebration of this year’s National Disaster Resilience Month (NDRM).

The theme for this year is “Bantayog ng Katatagan at ang Pagbubuklod sa Layuning Kahandaan” and it seeks to highlight the need to work collectively to enhance the country’s resilience and preparedness.

“With 1.9 million civil servants nationwide, government employees have a crucial role in helping raise awareness and promoting the government’s program on disaster resilience. We encourage civil servants to actively engage in the initiatives and activities prepared by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD), as well as their respective agencies aimed at enhancing preparedness,” said CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has unveiled the list of the 26 semi-finalists for the prestigious 2024 Search for Outstanding Government Workers.

Following this, the CSC is inviting the public to participate in the evaluation process by providing feedback on the national nominees. The public is encouraged to submit their comments, whether positive or negative, for the Presidential Lingkod Bayan and CSC Pagasa Awards until 26 July 2024.

“We invite you to take part in this year’s Search for Outstanding Government Workers by sharing your comments and reactions on the semi-finalists. Your feedback is crucial in helping us recognize the most deserving candidates who exemplify excellence in public service,” said CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.

Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles encouraged job seekers interested in public sector positions to explore opportunities through the CSC Job Portal, available at csc.gov.ph/career.

He highlighted the portal's significance in offering aspiring government employees detailed information and easy access to a wide range of job openings within the public sector.

“Patuloy ang pagdami ng mga oportunidad sa trabaho sa gobyerno dahil laging may pangangailangan para sa mga mahuhusay at tapat na kawani na magbibigay ng dekalidad na serbisyo publiko. Ang CSC Job Portal ay isang madaling paraan upang makita ang mga bakanteng posisyon sa iba't ibang ahensya ng pamahalaan sa lahat ng rehiyon ng Pilipinas,” said Chairperson Nograles.
