CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga — Civil Service Commission (CSC) continues to accept nominations for Search for Outstanding Government Workers 2017.
CSC Regional Director Nelson Sarmiento said that state workers may be nominated in any of the three categories namely, the Presidential Lingkod Bayan, Pag-asa and Dangal ng Bayan awards.
Sarmiento explained that 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 No. 6713, otherwise known as the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees,” the director added.
He also said that group awardees must demonstrate camaraderie shown by constant communication, coordination, cooperation, and cohesiveness among its members, bound by a common objective to formally or informally carry out certain projects/programs, and shall not exceed 10 members.

They should also have obtained at least a “Very Satisfactory” rating or its equivalent in the last two performance evaluation periods and have never been found guilty to an administrative or criminal offense involving moral turpitude.
A group may be nominated even if there are members who fail to meet squarely the mentioned qualifications but these members, however, shall be excluded from the grant of award should the team be chosen as a recipient.
