Getting to know our central personnel agency

Close Box

The Civil Service Commission (CSC), the central personnel agency of the Philippine government, has adjudicative responsibility in the national government structure and is tasked to render final arbitration on disputes and personnel actions on Civil Service matters.

Mandate. To promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressive-ness, and courtesy in the Civil Service.

Vision. An institution that shall be the source of expert advice on public personnel administration to the other branches of government, forerunner in promoting best practices in civil service programs and policies, and a model and paragon in customer service excellence.

Mission. To transform the civil service into a force representing the best of our democratic institutions.

Specific Functions.
leading and initiating the professional-ization of the civil service
promoting public accountability in government service
adopting performance-based tenure in government
implementing the integrated rewards and incentives program for govern-ment employees.

6 Key Reform Areas:
Effective and Efficient Administrative Justice
Professionalizing the Civil Service
Improving Public Service Delivery
Harnessing Public Sector Unionism
Strengthening External Relations
Managing Support Services

Historical Highlights:

1900 - Civil service system in the Phil-ippines formally established under Public Law No. 5 (An Act for the Establishment and Maintenance of Our Efficient and Honest Civil Service in the Philippine Island); Civil Service Board created to administer civil service examinations and set standards for appointment in government service.
1905 - Civil Service Board reorganized into a Bureau.
1935 - Merit system firmly established by the Phil. Constitution as basis for employment in government.
1935-1959 - Bureau's jurisdiction expanded to include the 3 government branches: national, local, and government corporations.
1959 -Bureau converted into the Civil Service Commission with department status under RA 2260, (Civil Service Law).
1972 - CSC reorganized under PD 181.
1975 - CSC's role as central personnel agency of government redefined by PD 807 (The Civil Service Decree of the Philippines).
1987 - Present mandate (derived from Article IX-B of 1987 Constitution) effected by Executive Order No. 292 (The 1987 Administrative Code), which essentially reiterates existing principles and policies in the administration of the bureaucracy and recognizes, for the first time, the right of government employees to self-organization and collective negotiations.

Feb 2010.. The DA and DALEA sponsored a training workshop on Effective Communication Skills held last Feb. 2-5, 2010 at DA Library for two batches with 50 participants both from DA and LGUs. Topics discussed include Grammar Review and Common Errors in Writing given by Emily B. Bordado; Writing Office Correspondence and Technical Writing by Yolanda A.

"An kakanon na nanganganaan nin bangot, minahangot."
Too many spices spoil the food.

It is a figurative way of saying that whatever we do, do it with moderation and temperance. This proverb specifically cautions us against overdoing things. Anything that is excessive is vicious and risky. Too much love is suffocating, too much advice is moralizing, too much discipline is tyrannical, and too much decoration is vanity. As Aristotle says, 'virtue lies in the middle'. All virtues have mean, except prudence because it is the mean of the virtues. Any excess or lack is considered vice.
Even in matters of health, moderation is the key to a healthy life; too much dieting is dangerous (anorexia nervosa), while excessive eating (gluttony) is equally dangerous. The Bikol concept of 'husto sana' or 'tama sana'' (just enough) shows the Bikolanos' sense of moderation. PFRB

As this issue is being released on the second week of Buwan ng Wika 2006, here is an excerpt from Balalong: Mga Kasabihang Bikolnon (Bikol Proverbs), A Compilation and Interpretation, Volume 1 (© 2005). The 118-page book was written by Fr. Philip Francis Reazon Bersabe, a priest-formator and professor at the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary, Naga City.

Undoubtedly, ancient Bikol sayings and proverbs are an integral and rich part of the Bikolano culture.It is interesting to note that over a third of the 100 Bikol proverbs translated and interpreted in Balalong 1 are derived from agriculture and fishery, showing that Bikolanos are truly children of Mother Earth, with a deep respect for nature.

What is CEDAW?

The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly, is often described as an international bill of rights for women. Consisting of a preamble and 30 articles, it defines what constitutes discrimination against women and sets up an agenda for national action to end such discrimination.

The Convention defines discrimination against women as "...any distinction, exclusion or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment or exercise by women, irrespective of their marital status, on a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field."

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

The first Women's Day was held on the last Sunday in February 1908, initiated by groups of American socialist women for the purpose of demanding the Vote and to call attention to the political and economic status of women.

When the Russian Czar abdicated in 1917, the provisional Government granted women the right to vote - this took place on February 23, according to the Julian calendar then used in Russia, but on March 8 according to the Gregorian calendar used by most of the rest of the world.
