Thousands of individuals are now civil service eligibles after passing the 10 August 2025 Career Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) conducted by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) nationwide.

Of the 302,028 examinees who took the Professional Level, 45,730 passed, representing a 15.14% passing rate. Meanwhile 4,366 or 14.73% of the 29,647 examinees successfully passed the Subprofessional Level.

CSC clarifies that grant of Sangguniang Kabataan Official Eligibility (SKOE) is not a prerogative of the CSC outright, but as part of the implementation of the provision of Republic Act (RA) No. 11768, otherwise known as “An Act Strengthening the Sangguniang Kabataan.”

Thus, those qualified for the grant of SKOE are SK officials in good standing, whether elected or appointed, who were in office upon the effectivity of RA No. 11768 and those who have completed a full three-year term of office or its equivalent.

Government leaders and human resource (HR) practitioners from across the country are set to gather at the 2025 Leaders & Human Resource Symposium (LHRS) on 24–25 September at the SMX Convention Center in Clark, Pampanga.

Organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) through its training arm, the Civil Service Institute (CSI), the symposium is one of the highlights of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), carrying the theme “LEAD 125: Shaping the Future Together.”

Elected and appointed Sangguniang Kabataan Officials (SKOs) in good standing are now entitled to civil service eligibility, provided they have completed a full three-year term of office or its equivalent.

Under Civil Service Commission (CSC) Resolution No. 2500752, or the Rules Governing the Grant of Eligibility to SKOs promulgated on 24 July 2025, the Sangguniang Kabataan Official Eligibility (SKOE) shall be considered appropriate for first level positions in the career service, except those covered by board laws and/or requiring other special eligibilities.

“This privilege, granted exclusively to duly elected and appointed SKOs, recognizes the vital role of the youth in nation-building and affirms their contributions to public service,” said CSC Chairperson Atty. Marilyn B. Yap. “Through the SKOE, we empower young leaders to pursue careers in government and continue their service to the Filipino people.”

Government officials and employees are encouraged to take part in the nationwide bloodletting drive scheduled on various dates this September 2025, one of the highlight activities to celebrate the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA).

Spearheaded by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in partnership with the Department of Health–Philippine Blood Center and Dr. Jose N. Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium, with the support of local government units nationwide, the initiative aims to boost the supply of blood in local hospitals and medical centers, while fostering a culture of volunteerism among public servants.
