CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles said that, while economic participation of women in the civil service can be considered high, there is a need to take a deeper look into how they are actually faring at work. “Are there factors making it harder for women to go up the career ladder? Do women find it doubly challenging to keep up with the demands of work, considering their multiple roles in the household and at the office? Are there open communication lines and formal systems in place that can encourage women to speak up about sexual harassment, prejudice, and other workplace issues?”

“I want to change outdated modes of service delivery. We digitize what can and should be digitized; we upskill our entire workforce to be digitally literate, and adaptive and agile in internet-based service delivery and learning. Digital solutions should empower and not intimidate our civil servants,” he said.

9 March 2022 - I am grateful to President Rodrigo R. Duterte for the opportunity to have served under his administration, a productive chapter in my life that allowed me to work to make a difference in the lives of our people. I am likewise blessed to be allowed to continue to serve our kababayan as the Chairperson of the Civil Service Commission. Maraming salamat po, Mr. President.
Our civil servants form the backbone of our government, and play a critical role in the delivery of various services essential to the daily lives of over 100 million Filipinos. The ability of over 1.7 million government workers to perform their functions has a direct impact on the welfare of our people, and their growth, development, and evolution is necessary so that the Philippine bureaucracy can be synonymous with integrity, diligence, and excellence.
As I transition to my new role at the helm of one of the country’s three independent constitutional commissions, I pledge to work with my fellow commissioners, colleagues, and employees in the CSC in order for it to faithfully fulfill its mandate as the central human resource agency of the Government that will develop and adopt measures “to promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the civil service.”

We are excited to hear about his plans and work with him,” Commissioner Aileen Lourdes A. Lizada said.

ADVISORY
TO : ALL EXAMINEES CONCERNED OF THE DECEMBER 6, 2019 CSC COMEX IN CSC RO II
SUBJECT : Suspension of Conduct of December 6, 2019 CSC COMEX in CSC RO II
Please be advised that the conduct of the Career Service Examination (Professional Level) via the CSC Computerized Examination (CSC COMEX) on December 6, 2019 in CSC Regional Office (RO) II, Tuguegarao City is suspended due to continuous rains and rapid rise of the Cagayan River causing massive flooding in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela.
Also, there are parts of the national highways of Cagayan and Isabela that are no longer passable by vehicles.
Lastly, water will be released from Magat Dam by 6 a.m. on December 6, 2019 based on advisory issued by the National Irrigation Administration.
Hence, the suspension of the December 6, 2019 CSC COMEX in CSC RO II as a preemptive measure to ensure the safety of all concerned especially the examinees.
The CSC shall issue another advisory on the resetting of the examination, which shall be posted on the CSC website www.csc.gov.ph and CSC COMEX website www.comex.csc.gov.ph.
Please be guided accordingly.

CSC COMEX Advisory No. 08, s. 2019
TO : ALL CSC COMEX REGISTRANTS
SUBJECT : Inaccessibility of COMEX During Online Slot Reservation
In the Examination Slot Reservation, the COMEX system will notify registered users of online offerings including the type of examination, number of slots, date and time of personal appearance, date and time of examination, and examination venue. A registered user or applicant can choose from any of the available schedules and reserve an examination slot.
During the date and time of Online Reservation, applicants may encounter difficulty in accessing the COMEX system due to “Gateway Timeout”. This may be attributed to the simultaneous access of applicants and network/connectivity concern. Besides, thereare only a maximum of 20 COMEX slots available. Thus, the system will automatically become inaccessible once the slots are taken.
We apologize for your inconvenience. Rest assured that we are continuously exerting efforts to improve our system to serve you better.
You may try reserving a slot in our succeeding online reservation schedule.
Thank you.
