CSC honors civil registrars

18 February 2021 - As the nation observes Civil Registration Month this February, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) expressed admiration for civil registrars in government who relentlessly fulfill their duties despite the challenges of public service.

Considered a critical function of government, civil registration provides the basis for individual legal identity and facilitates the identification of pressing health issues.

The CSC said that civil registrars often have to contend with issues such as lack of knowledge on or appreciation for registration and the remote location of target populations, yet some are able to perform their duties excellently despite the odds.

One such person is Civil Registrar Belen F. Linganay of the City Government of Tangub, Misamis Occidental, who was given the Outstanding Public Officials and Employees Award, also known as the Dangal ng Bayan, through the CSC’s Search for Outstanding Government Workers. Linganay was recognized in 2019 for her efforts to bring the services of the City Registrar’s Office closer to the citizens through the Mobile Registration Program (MRP), to register and update the records of birth and marriage certificates as well inform citizens on the law and city ordinances on registry service.

Public Service Announcement on the Conduct of Civil Service Examinations

8 February 2021 - The Civil Service Commission (CSC) understands the public’s continued interest in the conduct of the Career Service Examination (CSE).

The CSC is carefully studying all possibilities regarding the conduct of examinations for 2021 and beyond, with utmost consideration for the public’s health and safety. With this, the announcement regarding the CSE–Professional and Subprofessional levels to be administered this year would be made once CSC has firmed up the different modes of the conduct of examination and the appropriate schedules thereof.

“We should now start planning for a recovery strategy. How will the workplace look like after the pandemic? What will public service delivery look like? What policies and programs do we need to review or to introduce to better adapt to a better normal?” the CSC chief said.
