A total of 533 individuals was conferred the Local Treasurer Eligibility after passing the Basic Competency on Local Treasury Examination (BCLTE) conducted on June 24, 2018.

The figure, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said, represents 17.19% of the total number of examinees.

Grace Quintana from Davao region and Jed Dares Tonogan from Western Visayas, both garnering an 89.73 rating, bested 3,100 examinees.

In view of the suspension of the Career Service Examination, Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) for Professional and Sub-Professional levels in the National Capital Region (NCR) and Morong, Rizal last August 12, 2018, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) is rescheduling the conduct of the exams in the said areas on November 11, 2018

The CSC said that affected examinees from NCR and Morong, Rizal shall have the same school and room assignments as in the suspended August 12 examination. Said examinees are no longer required to register again. The CSC stressed though that no request for transfer of testing venue/school assignment, postponement, and rescheduling will be allowed.

The CSC reminded all concerned examinees that they are given only one chance to take the rescheduled examination free of charge. Those who would not be able to take the November 11 examination will have their examination fee and slot forfeited.

The revised Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (ORAOHRA)—a consolidation of rules pertaining to appointment, promotion, reassignment, separation, and other human resource actions in the civil service—took effect on Sunday, August 26, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) reported.

The previous version of the ORAOHRA was promulgated on June 16, 2017. In consideration of feedback from its stakeholders, the Commission amended the policy to ensure that its provisions are in accordance with other administrative issuances and pertinent laws.

Among the salient amendments is the shift in the role of a government agency’s Human Resource Merit Promotion and Selection Board (HRMPSB) from recommendatory to assistorial, stating that the HRMPSB should assist the appointing authority in the judicious and objective selection of candidates for appointment, in accordance with the agency’s CSC-approved Agency Merit Selection Plan. It should no longer be tasked with recommending the top-ranking candidates deemed most qualified for recruitment.
