SIR/MADAM:
In as much as the findings of CSC Regional Office at Cagayan de Oro City may be correct, I honestly cannot find the sense of social responsibility in this instance.
True, there was (perhaps) a violation of CSC MC No.3 Series of 2001 (Revised Policies on Merit Promotion Plan), under Section 78 Revised Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Services (RRACCS) which provides a 15-day reglementary period. However, isn't not the responsibility of the LGU of Salay to act on said matter within the proper period as required by CSC regulation? Moreover, since the CSC Regional Office of Cagayan de Oro City was already aware of the good intention of former Salay Mayor Gue, how come they immediately disapproved the said appointment without due regard to the facts or basis of the Mayor's recommendation of permanent status on November 16, 2015? Please be reminded that all the employees, as recommended by Mayor Gue, are good performing employees, honest and have been employees of the LGU for more than 10 years or so. We were not even informed of the said disapproval. What exactly was the basis of disapproval by Director Cosette Mundo in this regard? Good ethics and social responsibility will say that she should have instructed CSC staff to conduct a personal visit and interview of the people involved in the recommendation. Can mere documents be the only basis of her decision? This seem to be unfair to us who have served the LGU for many years. It is sad the Government never noticed our dedication and good performance, which were the reasons why Mayor Gue recommended us for permanent position.
On top of this, when the HR of Salay LGU knew of the 15 days reglementary period, how come he (Audie Baang) never filed it on the right time? Was this done on purpose? Isn't this an abuse of authority and/or negligence on his part? Moreover, how come the CSC Regional Office of Cagayan de Oro City never took notice of this lapse and/or even reminded him that the deadline was nearing? Aren't we, as public servants, supposed to rightfully serve our clients (internal or external) the proper way, with quality on our mind? Can you call this public service at all? I always believe that there is such a thing proper coordination and communication amongst Government offices. Customer (internal/external) satisfaction and anticipation are basic quality management practices. We, the people who were unfairly treated in this regard, have all the right to complain and be given justice that is due to us, too!
Please consider all these facts I have mentioned. I am sorry for sounding too emotional, but I cannot help but say the truth. I beg for your consideration and immediate intervention. I have been unemployed for more than 6 months, on top of the sad situation that I am now a widow with children under my care. I do pray that the Government hear my plea, and I humbly address this to our beloved President. Please help us, the now unemployed former employees of Salay LGU who dedicated our time, energy and resources to be an efficient/effective government public servant. When we were asked to do overtime, we accepted it wholeheartedly without question and this became a regular request to us. Now after all the good intentions we gave, this is what we receive -- an indifference and neglect.
As an aside, why is it that the CSC website mail does not function anymore? Do you have an email address where I can write directly to the Commission and/or Deputy Commissioner?
Thank you very much.
Respectfully,
CHARLIE C. ARAZO
