The Civil Service Commission (CSC) will kick off the month-long celebration of the 123rd Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA) next month by holding an Online Zumba session scheduled on the first day of September.
The event is open to all government officials, employees and their families, who are 18 years old or older.
“Sa ika-1 ng Setyembre, inaasahang masisilayan ang libu-libong kawani ng gobyerno na sama-samang nakikibahagi sa Online Zumba na ito bilang pagsuporta sa PCSA celebration. Higit pa sa pagsusulong ng kahalagahan ng kalusugan at kagalingan ng bawat lingkod bayani, ang aktibidad na ito ay isang pagpapamalas ng pagkakaisa sa serbisyo sibil para sa iisang layunin,” ani CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles.

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has launched an online eligibility verification system that enables government agencies' human resource management officers (HRMOs) and the general public to conveniently access civil service eligibility information.
The Civil Service Eligibility Verification System (CSEVS), which was internally developed, is an online search platform that allows access to the database of eligible individuals who have successfully passed the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT), Computerized Examination (COMEX), and Computer Assisted Test. Additionally, it includes individuals who have been granted eligibilities under special laws and CSC issuances.
One of the components of the CSEVS is the External Online Verification of Civil Service Eligibilities, which allows HRMOs to access and verify the eligibility information of applicants before the issuance of appointments. The eligible individuals themselves can also access their eligibility information using the CSEVS.
