September is ‘Civil Service Month’

The Civil Service Month commemoration is not only a celebration for the commission itself, but a celebration of all the workers of the government and the commitment they have to serve the administration through all its thrusts and projects.

This was emphaszied by Civil Service Commission (CSC-7) on the civil service’s 119th anniversary with the theme “Civil Service @119, Upholding Integrity and Building a High-Trust Society” during the recent Kapihan sa PIA Cebu.

The month-long celebration kicked off on Sept. 1 with a run-for-a-cause at the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu Grounds.

Catering to those wanting to start a career as a civil servant, CSC will also hold a government job fair that would gather different government agencies and departments in the region looking for employees to fill in their vacancies.

Atty. Ariel B. Bacatan, Director III of CSC-7, said the commission will be inviting private companies as well so that the participants of the job fair will have more options to choose from.

In the same forum, Charisse Estrella from CSC-7 urged interested applicants to pass the civil service exam first before eyeing a position in government.

CSC-7 will also hold a foreign service exam on Feb. 2, 2020 while the next civil service exam will be on March 15, 2020.

With the celebration of the Civil Service Month also comes the recognition of outstanding civil servants.

The regional awards rites will be held on Sept. 11, at the Capitol Social Hall.

This will recognize the CSC Pag-asa Awardees, Dangal ng Bayan Awardee, and the outstanding human resources officer in the region, as well as the winner of the Brigada Ahensya. (smb/PIA7)
