“Patuloy na naghahanap ang Komisyon sa Serbisyo Sibil ng mga lingkod bayan na nagpamalas at patuloy na nagpapamalas ng mahusay at tapat na serbisyo publiko at katangi-tanging kontribusyon na may malaking epekto sa pag-unlad ng ating bayan.”
This was the statement of Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles as he urged heads of government agencies and the public to nominate deserving government officials and employees to the 2023 Search for Outstanding Government Workers.
The CSC’s Honor Awards Program (HAP) is an annual activity which aims to recognize and reward public service exemplars, as well as motivate or inspire civil servants to improve the quality of their performance and instill deeper involvement in public service.
The CSC said that all government workers in the career and non-career service, including appointive barangay officials, may be nominated. Posthumous nomination is also accepted for public servants who died in the line of duty or in the pursuit of their official duties and responsibilities. Job order or contract of service employees are excluded from the coverage of the program.

To ensure a healthy and productive workforce, mental and physical fitness programs are needed to promote employee well-being—this was stressed by Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles.
Under CSC Resolution No. 1901265 or the Guidelines on the Development of Mental Health Program (MHP) in the Public Sector promulgated on 23 October 2019, and circularized via CSC Memorandum Circular (MC) No. 4, s. 2020, government agencies are mandated to craft and implement a Mental Health Program to promote overall mental wellness and provide an inclusive, conducive, and supportive work environment for public officials and employees. Said resolution is anchored on Republic Act No. 11036 or the Mental Health Act of 2018.
From a model MHP created by the CSC, strategies to promote employee well-being include the conduct of activities such as physical fitness, teambuilding, regular stress management, organized peer counseling, support groups, and interest groups. There is also a need to organize continuing mental health awareness and education activities for the agency’s workforce.
