Twelve (12) civil service examinations are slated for 2020, with the Career Service Professional and Subprofessional Level examinations, which draws the biggest number of examinees, to be conducted twice.
The Career Service Examination (CSE) Pen and Paper Test (Professional and Subprofessional Levels) will be conducted on 15 March 2020, with application period from 16 December 2019 to 15 January 2020; and on 9 August 2020, with application period from 11 May to 10 June 2020.
The CSE is a general ability test designed to measure an individual’s preparedness to enter government service. Passing the CSE would result in the conferment of either Professional or Subprofessional eligibility that is needed, among others, for permanent appointment to corresponding career service positions in the government except those that involve the practice of profession or are covered by special laws.
Around 17,000 runners, mostly government workers, participated in the R.A.C.E. to Serve Fun Run on 1 September 2019 in Manila.
Organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC)-National Capital Region, the race began at 5 a.m. at the Quirino Grandstand as runners made their way through the southbound and northbound lanes of Roxas Boulevard.
Serving as the official kickoff activity for the month-long Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) celebration in September, the event aimed to raise funds for the Pamanang Lingkod Bayani (PLBi), a program that provides one-time financial assistance and scholarship opportunities for the loved ones left behind by government workers who died in the line of duty.
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) will administer an additional round of Basic Competency on Local Treasury Examination (BCLTE) on 13 October 2019. Application period will run until 22 August 2019.
The BCLTE is a part of the Standardized Examination and Assessment for Local Treasury Service (SEAL) Program of the Department of Finance. The civil service eligibility resulting from passing the BCLTE shall be called Local Treasurer Eligibility. It is a second level eligibility, which is only appropriate for appointment to Local Treasurer and Assistant Local Treasurer positions, and to positions under the Financial Services that do not require practice of profession and are not covered by Bar/Board or special laws.
The test will be held in 16 testing centers nationwide, namely, San Fernando City in La Union (Region I), Tuguegarao City (Region II), City of San Fernando in Pampanga (Region III), Batangas City (Region IV), Legazpi City (Region V), Iloilo City (Region VI), Cebu City (Region VII), Tacloban City (Region VIII), Zamboanga City (Region IX), Cagayan de Oro City (Region X), Davao City (Region XI), Cotabato City and Koronadal City (Region XII), Quezon City (National Capital Region), Baguio City (Cordillera Administrative Region), and Butuan City (Caraga).
