Former Sanggunian members have the option to continue serving in government with a Sanggunian Member Eligibility (SME).

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 10156, otherwise known as “An Act Conferring upon Members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Sangguniang Panlungsod and Sangguniang Panlalawigan the Appropriate Civil Service Eligibility under Certain Circumstances, and for Other Purposes”, dated 20 December 2011, and its Implementing Rules and Regulations (CSC Resolution No. 1300486) which took effect on 1 May 2013, the SME is granted to the following Sanggunian Members:

Government leaders and human resource (HR) practitioners will gather for the 2019 Public Sector HR Symposium on 24 to 26 July 2019 at the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City to learn how to steer government agencies and build the capacities of civil servants toward realizing AmBisyon Natin 2040, which represents the Filipino people’s collective vision and aspirations.

With the theme “Moving Together Toward AmBisyon Natin 2040”, the symposium will showcase global trends and best practices in achieving People Centered, Clean, Efficient, and Effective Governance. This is one of the desired outcomes in the Philippine Development Plan 2017-2022 which is critical to laying down the foundation for inclusive growth, a high-trust and resilient society, and a globally-competitive knowledge economy.

Graduates with summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude honors or their equivalent may apply for Honor Graduate Eligibility (HGE), the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.

Honor graduates from a reputable foreign school, as verified by the Department of Foreign Affairs through the Philippine Foreign Service Posts, may apply for the Foreign School Honor Graduate Eligibility (FSHGE), provided that they are Filipino citizens.
