The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has begun its search for Outstanding Government Workers for 2023, as mandated in the Philippine Constitution and several Executive Orders and Republic Acts.
The Search covers three award categories: the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award, the Outstanding Public Officials and Employees Award (Dangal ng Bayan) Award, and the CSC Pagasa Award. The aim of the search is to recognize public servants who demonstrate excellent dedication, commitment, and ethical behavior in their service.
Government agencies are encouraged to participate in the Search by nominating their awardees through electronic submission of documentary requirements to the CSC Regional and/or Field Offices not later than March 31, 2023.
The CSC seeks the help of government agencies in promoting the HAP by encouraging their employees to like and subscribe to the Philippine Civil Service Facebook page and CSC Media PH YouTube page.
The Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) Committees will screen and evaluate all nominations for different types of awards, and digital copies of accomplished forms and one complete set of nomination documents in Portable Document Format (PDF) must be submitted to the Bureau of Human Resource and Organizational Development-Employee Welfare Division (BHROD-EWD) through the link provided.
The nomination documents will be reviewed, approved, endorsed, and transmitted to the concerned CSC field offices. The original and certified true copies of the nomination documents shall be submitted directly to the respective CSC regional or field offices upon the approval of the Secretary’s endorsement.
The Department of Education has disseminated a memorandum stating that the Equal Opportunity Principle (EOP) will be exercised, and no employee will be discriminated against for rewards and recognition regardless of age, gender, civil status, disability, religion, ethnic group, and political beliefs.
For more information, concerned individuals can contact the CSC HAP Secretariat, and those with concerns about the submission to the DepEd CO PRAISE Committee can contact BHROD-EWD.
The CSC’s Facebook page and CSC Media PH YouTube page feature regular updates on the nomination process and inspirational quotes from past awardees. Government agencies are encouraged to share or cross-post these informational and inspirational social media cards on their respective online accounts as well.
The search for Outstanding Government Workers is an essential advocacy for the Commission to promote excellence, recognize, and reward public servants for their outstanding performance and contributions to the community.
