00:00 The nomination for 2024 Outstanding Government Worker is opening this year.
00:06 We will discuss this with Atty. Aileen Lizada, Commissioner from the Civil Service Commission.
00:12 Commissioner Lizada, good afternoon and welcome to the new Philippines.
00:17 Good afternoon, Ms. Chi and Atty. Dani and to all who are listening and watching, good afternoon to all of you.
00:25 Commissioner, your acceptance for the nomination for 2024 Outstanding Government Worker has already started.
00:32 Can you give us some details about this?
00:34 And when is the deadline for the submission of the nominations?
00:38 You are right, Ms. Chi.
00:41 As part of the rewards and incentives mechanism of the government under the Honor and Awards Program or HAP,
00:49 a yearly search for outstanding government workers is to recognize government employees who are showing full dedication and commitment to their work.
01:02 The objective of this is to inspire other government bodies to be more active in providing public services.
01:13 I will not be choosing here, but I will just say that as President of the Republic of the Philippines,
01:19 the regional offices of CSC nationwide will accept nominations until March 31, 2024.
01:30 Commissioner, in this annual search, what are the criteria to nominate and for the possibility of receiving an incentive and award
01:41 as Outstanding Government Worker of the Year?
01:44 We have three award categories in this search.
01:51 First is the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award.
01:55 It is based on Executive Order No. 508, Series of 1992.
02:01 This is an award for outstanding work, performance, and contributions that have a nationwide impact.
02:10 The second category is the Outstanding Public Official and Employee Award, Dangal ng Bayan.
02:18 Dangal ng Bayan Award is an award for those who show consistent ethical behavior according to Republic Act No. 6713
02:29 or the best known Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees.
02:35 The third category is the Civil Service Commission Pag-asa Award.
02:40 This is based on Executive Order No. 292 and the implementing rules and regulations of this award
02:48 is for outstanding contributions that help an office, agency, community, or region.
02:57 Well, Commissioner, this is a good motivation for our government colleagues.
03:03 But perhaps, many of our countrymen are asking,
03:07 what are the incentives that awardees can receive aside from recognition and award?
03:13 The incentives of Ms. Chi are good.
03:19 Based on their reputation,
03:23 they can receive automatic promotion to the next higher position that is included in their qualification for the Presidential Civil Service and Dangal ng Bayan Award categories.
03:38 We have a cash reward of P200,000 for individuals who will win
03:45 and P100,000 for each member of a group of up to five members.
03:53 We have a one-time medical check-up valid for a year from the date of receiving the award.
04:03 We also have a scholarship grant to any partner educational institutions of CSC.
04:11 We also have a gold gilded medallion from the Central Bank of the Philippines
04:17 and we are thankful to BSP for their support.
04:21 We also have a trophy or plaque with a citation from Ms. Chi.
04:26 Ma'am, I have a follow-up question.
04:28 Is the salary increase they are talking about included to boost the morale of other employees?
04:34 Isn't it an increase in the salary step?
04:37 It's automatic, Attorney Galang.
04:41 When you are promoted, it comes with a salary grade,
04:46 the correct salary here.
04:49 And if ever, if ever, there is no higher position,
04:54 the salary increase will be deducted from the next position.
05:00 But if it's not available because there is a person there,
05:04 you will be receiving the salary for the next position.
05:10 But if you are unable to take it because there is a person there,
05:13 you will be entitled to the salary.
05:15 Oh wow, this is really exciting.
05:19 Commissioner, when is the awards night for 2024 Search for Outstanding Government Workers?
05:26 And where will this take place this year?
05:28 We are requesting this from the President's office that the awards night will take place every month of September
05:37 along with the Philippine Civil Service Anniversary.
05:40 This is taking place in Malacanang Palace.
05:42 So really it is deserving to the government employees,
05:46 just fitting that we give them the proper tribute in the proper place.
05:50 For now, we would like to invite all government and human resource management practitioners
05:57 to submit their nomination to the regional and field offices until March 31, 2024.
06:04 I can recommend to the relevant public agencies an individual or organization from the private sector
06:14 for a particular category of search.
06:17 So even those in the private sector, if you have acquaintances in the government,
06:21 you can nominate or an organization or an NGO, you can nominate.
06:26 Ma'am, before you tell us,
06:29 what are the programs and policies that will be implemented and awaited by government employees
06:35 this year to give priority to the welfare and development of these people?
06:40 Good news for job orders, contract of service, contractuals, cash wall,
06:53 and categories 3 and 4, and career service employee with first level civil service eligibility,
07:02 and terminals.
07:04 What is the good news for you?
07:06 If you are in the government aggregate, not continuous aggregate, combined,
07:13 10 years, if ever you are in the government for 10 years,
07:17 you have a preferential rating.
07:20 We are calling this under resolution, CSE resolution number 2301123,
07:28 approved and promulgated by the commission.
07:30 Our chair is Chair Carlo Nograles, with Commissioner Ryan Acosta.
07:35 The title is Guidelines on the Grant of Career Service Eligibility Preference Rating.
07:40 What will happen if you are in the government for at least 10 years aggregate?
07:46 In the next exam, which will be on March 3, we will use this policy.
07:53 What is this policy?
07:54 You have +10 points.
07:59 So if you did not reach the 80% passing rate and you are 70%,
08:06 +10 points for you to pass.
08:09 I mentioned categories 3 and 4.
08:12 I just want to expound on categories 3 and 4.
08:16 These are the positions in the government.
08:19 Sorry, someone is calling me.
08:22 These are the positions in the government.
08:25 Those who are listening, these are category 3.
08:31 These are holders of first level but without eligibility.
08:37 Because there are positions in the government where you are holding a position but you do not have eligibility.
08:42 For example, animal keeper, book binder, chef, cook, construction foreman, fisherman, film custodian.
08:50 If you are in your position for 10 years, this is applicable to you.
08:57 Or in category 4, like my driver, he has a driver's license.
09:02 He can take exams and this is applicable to him.
09:08 This is the clamor of many.
09:10 They are sub-professionals, they cannot pass the professional because they want to go up from level 1 to level 2.
09:20 If you have been here for 10 years and you want to be a professional, you are already covered.
09:27 Just follow the requirements that you need to pass your rating for the past 2 semesters.
09:35 We only have guidelines but this is good news for government employees.
09:41 We also have what we call the learnings in the government through social media.
09:52 This is provided by our Civil Service Institute.
09:56 Our Civil Service Institute has released micro-learning videos to better understand.
10:03 If you go to the Sari-sari store, you cannot buy 1 kilo of sugar by looking at it.
10:11 So there will be smaller videos for learning and development for levels 1, 2 so you have a number of training hours.
10:20 Why is this important?
10:21 If you are promoted, you will be looking for a number of training hours.
10:26 Aside from training hours, we want to enhance the skills and knowledge of government employees
10:32 so that they can add more to their knowledge.
10:36 These are some of the objectives for the plans for 2024 including the Civil Service Digital Examination.
10:44 We want this to be similar to the Supreme Court and Department of Education for their bar exam and school head exam.
10:53 You will be given a laptop and you can take an exam on your laptop.
10:57 CSE is arranging this for this year.
11:00 In Prime HRM, our office, we are revising 2024 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and other Human Resource Actions.
11:12 We have revised policies on secondment.
11:15 What is secondment?
11:16 If you are from one agency, you will be transferred to another agency.
11:20 It's like you are being borrowed from another agency.
11:22 We are also arranging that.
11:24 We are revising rules on government reorganization.
11:27 We are revising dress code and dress code so that we can be inclusive
11:32 and incorporate the principles of gender equality, diversity, and social inclusion.
11:40 That is what we can share with you for 2024, Ternigalang and Mischief.
11:45 Alright, a message and a reminder to our fellow Filipinos, especially to our fellow workers here in our government.
11:53 Thank you.
11:56 To all government officials, we have an IPCR, which is our report card.
12:02 We always put what we need to do.
12:06 Our accountability, our responsibility.
12:10 Average, we put average.
12:14 If not average, let us aim for outstanding.
12:17 Because the best is what we are giving.
12:20 Everyday, when we wake up, it's a blessing.
12:24 The blessing is more.
12:25 If we are where we are, because to serve, I say, is always a privilege.
12:31 We are good at our job.
12:36 Where we are appointed, where we are placed by the Lord or Allah, for our Bangsamoro brothers and sisters, we are good at it.
12:43 Because the best is what the public deserves.
12:48 That is why we should serve with utmost humility, integrity, honesty, and let us all lead by example.
12:56 Let us remember that our position is for the people and not for our own interests.
13:04 Long live to all government officials.
13:07 Thank you very much for the opportunity, Ms. Chien, Atty. Galang.
13:11 Thank you very much for your time, Atty. Aileen Lizada, Commissioner of the Civil Service Commission.
13:17 Long live to you.
