The CSC said that the pandemic has driven many organizations to offer webinars and online training courses, making learning relatively more accessible, convenient, and affordable.

It added that it is important for civil servants to regularly enrich their knowledge or upgrade their competencies in order to meet expected performance levels and to continue delivering effective public service. Agencies are also responsible for establishing a learning and development (L&D) program that would address competency gaps in the workforce.

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). We regret that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make it difficult for the CSC to implement the conduct of examinations especially since public health measures to contain the spread of COVID-19, such as the prohibition of mass gatherings, are as necessary now as they were first imposed in March 2020.

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.
