THE Civil Service Commission (CSC) in Central Luzon urged government employees to endorse their personal bets while the nomination for this year’s search for outstanding government employee is still up.
CSC-Central Luzon Director Nelson Sarmiento said the annual search aims to recognize public workers for their exemplary performance in their respective duties in the government post.
“The search primarily hopes to provide a counter perspective to the negative image of the government by recognizing state workers who exemplify the highest standards of excellence and integrity in serving the public,” he said.
All elective and appointive state workers may be nominated in any of the three categories, namely, the Presidential Lingkod Bayan, Pag-asa and Dangal ng Bayan Awards.
Sarmiento said the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award is conferred to an individual or group for their exceptional contributions resulting from an idea or performance that had nationwide impact on public interest, security and patrimony.
“The Pag-asa award is given to an individual or group for their outstanding contribution/s resulting from an idea or performance that directly benefitted more than one department of the government, while the Dangal ng Bayan is bestowed to an individual for performance of an extraordinary act or public service and consistent demonstration of exemplary ethical behavior on the basis of his/her observance of the eight norms of behavior provided under Republic Act 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees,” he added.
Posthumous nominations are allowed provided that the person/s to be nominated died while performing his/her duties as a civil servant.
For those who want to place their nominations, Sarmiento said that nomination forms and list of other requirements may be downloaded in the agency’s official website: www.csc.gov.ph.
