DavNor LGU supports drive for CS eligibility

DAVAO DEL NORTE, October 14, 2015 – Although becoming an eligible civil servant is an individual concern, yet for some to become “licensed” for the job are being marred by family responsibilities, time constraints and even the cost of a review subjecting themselves to become perpetually ineligible.  

Governor Rodolfo del Rosario conceptualized himself how a non-eligible provincial capitol worker can be helped. An intervention the provincial government made is the conduct of a 4-hour 5 evenings free civil service review classes for non-eligible workers from October 13-17this year helping them become competent and capacitated employee.

Thirty-one out of the seventy provincial government employees that signified attended on its first session from 5-9 in the evening coming from different offices and departments to engaged in a 4-hour session review focused on English and Mathematics subjects.

Civil service exams for career and non-career position eligibilities are scheduled on Sunday, October 18, 2015.

With its overarching strategy abbreviated as P.E.O.P.L.E, the administration of Governor Rodolfo del Rosario is bent to empower each Dabaonon especially the prime movers of public service delivery -- the employees, become competent as civil service eligible workers: P, stands for people empowerment, E, education and environment, O, optimum health and social services, P, public-private partnership, L, link to the world, and, E, employment and livelihood opportunities tucked in the core values of integrity, competence and commitment.  

This is not the first since the provincial government made some interventions for its non-eligible workers yet a wholly different from past years’ endeavor; this year’s review classes are conducted for free.

“Good for you, you are so lucky,” said the English subject proctor on the first session of the 5-early evening free Career Civil Service exam review for non-eligible provincial government employees. She commented that this endeavor showed nothing but the provincial government’s interest for the welfare of its workers.

For a government worker after attending the first session of the free review class: “I felt so grateful for the generosity and benevolence of the provincial governor. The review really helped me refresh the English subject and learn new and easier techniques in Mathematics.”

Davao del Norte provincial government has also other “people empowerment” programs in collaboration with the Davao del Norte Learning Institute (DNLI) designing the module to capacitate its workers. Undergrad capitol employees are send to the school as scholars while working, for them to finish a degree. Others are also send abroad for trainings and scholarship studies to be more skilled and competent employee not only in the delivery of public service but more importantly enabling communities toward local economic development.
