117TH PHILIPPINE CIVIL SERVICE ANNIVERSARY

The Philippine government will be celebrating the Anniversary of the Philippine Civil Service this September. Public Law No. 5, "An Act for the Establishment and Maintenance of Our Efficient and Honest Civil Service in the Philippine Islands," was enacted on September 19, 1900, marking this year as the 117th annual celebration. The Civil Service Commission (CSC), as lead agency, has lined up activities to emphasize this year’s theme “Tugon sa Hamon ng Pagbabago: Malasakit ng Lingkod Bayani”. As a continuing challenge to public servants , this year’s activities are meant to remind us of manifesting malasakit in public service. #  Source: CSC MC. No. 12 s. 2017
