CSC-7 to Launch 2016 Search for Outstanding Public Officials, Employees

The Civil Service Commission (CSC-7) will launch the 2016 Search for Outstanding Public Officials and Employees on Wednesday, March 2, at 8:00 in the morning at the Multi-Purpose Hall A of the CSC7 building.

Done every year, the CSC Honor Awards Program aims to give recognition and reward to public officials and state workers for their outstanding work performance and consistent ethical behavior.

Awards to be given are the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award, Dangal ng Bayan Award, and the CSC Pagasa Award.

The Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award is given to an individual or group of individuals for exceptional contributions from an idea or performance which had a nationwide impact on public interest.

For the Dangal ng Bayan Award, this is given to an individual for performance of extraordinary act or public service and consistent demonstration of exemplary ethical behavior as provided under RA 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.

The CSC Pagasa Award, on the other hand, is conferred to an individual or group of individuals for outstanding contributions resulting from an idea or performance which directly benefited more than one department of the government.

Giving honor to deserving public officials and government employees is hoped to motivate and inspire other workers in the bureaucracy to improve their performance and commitment in giving public service.

Meanwhile, the CSC on the same date will also turn over the financial assistance to the families of the 44 PNP Special Action Force members who died during an encounter with armed groups in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on January 25, 2015.

The Commission is granting the financial assistance of P100,000 to the families through its Pamanang Lingkod Bayani Program. (rmn/fcr/PIA-7/CSC-7)
