Civil Service Commission (CSC) Chairperson Karlo Nograles reminded public servants to step up and seize every opportunity to display excellence as it translates to improved public service delivery and efficient client transactions.
Speaking in front of the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) during the agency’s flag-raising ceremony on Monday, 15 May 2023, Chairperson Nograles said that the challenge of building back better post-pandemic requires civil servants to strive for change and not to settle for the status quo.
“Excellence is what distinguishes an ordinary kawani (civil servant) from a lingkod bayani (servant hero). Ngayong nasa proseso tayo ng pagpapanumbalik ng mga nakagawian bago ang pandemya, huwag naman sanang business as usual. Ipakita natin na may mga natutunan tayo at maraming maayos na pagbabago pagdating sa kalidad at husay ng serbisyo publiko,” he said.
