The annual Philippine Civil Service Anniversary is a momentous occasion that pays tribute to the unwavering commitment of civil servants across the nation. It serves as an acknowledgment of their dedication to public service and a platform to explore innovative ways to enhance the public sector’s efficiency.
The celebration is not confined to a single day; instead, it spans a month-long series of activities aimed at fostering a culture of service excellence and transformation in the public sector. The 2023 celebration boasts a diverse lineup of events, including the 2023 Online Zumba and Film Showing, September 1. This serves as an opportunity for civil servants to come together in a virtual environment to promote health and well-being.
They will also hold the Seminar-Workshop on Digital Transformation with Chairperson Nograles as the keynote speaker, September 5. The workshop focuses on streamlining government processes through digitalization. On September 15, there will be a Plant Run, an eco-conscious initiative aimed at promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.
Connecting job seekers with government career opportunities, CSC-10 will hold the Government Online Career Fair, September 19–20, at SM CDO Downtown Premier. Also, to contribute to the nation’s blood supply, there will be a bloodletting activity, September 19 at Ayala Centrio Mall.
