    Study Notes

    Civil Service Commission (CSC)

    • The Civil Service Commission (CSC) is the central personnel agency of the Philippines.
    • It is an independent constitutional commission with adjudicative responsibility in the national government structure.
    • The CSC is responsible for final arbitration on disputes and personnel actions on Civil Service matters.

    History of the CSC

    • The civil service system in the Philippines was established in 1900 by the Second Philippine Commission under Public Law No. 5.
    • A Civil Service Board was created, responsible for administering civil service examinations and setting appointment standards.
    • This board was reorganized into a Bureau in 1905.
    • The 1935 Philippine Constitution formally established a merit-based system for government employment.
    • The Bureau's jurisdiction expanded to include the national government, local government, and government corporations.
    • Republic Act 2260, the Civil Service Law, was enacted in 1959, replacing scattered administrative orders regarding government personnel administration.
    • This law converted the Bureau of Civil Service into the Civil Service Commission with department status.
    • Presidential Decree No. 807 (The Civil Service Decree of the Philippines) redefined the Commission's role as the central personnel agency in 1975.
    • The CSC's current mandate derives from Article IX-B of the 1987 Constitution, which is implemented by Executive Order No. 292 (The 1987 Administrative Code).

    Evolution of CSC Logos

    • The first CSC logo, used from 1900 to 1982, featured the official seal of the Republic of the Philippines with "Civil Service Commission" around it.
    • The second logo, used from the 1970s to the 2000s, was designed through a nationwide contest. It featured interlocking chains inside a green circle forming the letters C-S-C.
    • The current logo, adopted in 2010, reverts to the original logo colors (blue and red) used in the 1900s. It features upward blue and red strokes symbolizing forward and upward movement.
    • The highlighted letter "S" emphasizes the CSC's focus on SERVICE, and the yellow-gold strip below displays the new slogan, "Para sa taumBAYAN", signifying the shift from an individual perspective to a broader, more holistic sense of nationhood.

    Organization and Functions of the CSC

    • The Commission is composed of a Chairman and two Commissioners, all natural-born Filipino citizens at least 35 years old with proven administrative capacity.
    • They are appointed by the President with the consent of the Commission on Appointments for a seven-year term, without reappointment.
    • The CSC is an independent constitutional body, allowing it to independently adjust its organization as needed.

    Professional Regulation Commission (PRC)

    • Republic Act 8981 mandates:
      • full computerization
      • Careful selection of Professional Regulatory Board members
      • Monitoring of school performance to upgrade quality of education
      • Updating of the PRC's organizational structure for efficiency and effectiveness.
      • Strengthening the PRC's enforcement powers, including regulatory power over foreign professionals practicing in the Philippines.
      • Authorization to use income for full computerization.
      • Upgrading of compensation and allowances for the Chairperson to that of a Department Secretary and the Commissioners to that of an Undersecretary.

    PRC Functions

    • Quasi-judicial: Investigates cases against erring examinees and professionals. Its decisions have the force of law and authority comparable to a Regional Trial Court. Decisions become final and executory after the appeal period.
    • Quasi-legislative: Formulates rules and policies on professional regulation, which, upon publication in the Official Gazette, become law.
    • Executive: Administers, implements, and enforces the regulatory policies of the national government, including professional and occupational standards and ethics.

    Ombudsman Office

    • Investigates acts or omissions by public officials or employees that are deemed illegal, unjust, improper, or inefficient, either on its own or based on complaints.
    • Directs public officials to perform required duties, stop, prevent, and correct abuses.
    • Recommends removal, suspension, demotion, fines, censure, or prosecution of public officials at fault.
    • Requests assistance, information, and necessary documentation from government agencies.
    • Publicizes investigation matters when warranted.
    • Determines the causes of inefficiency, mismanagement, fraud, and corruption in the government and proposes solutions.
    • Promulgates its rules of procedure and exercises other powers or performs duties as mandated by the law.

    The Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS)

    • SPMS is a system linking employee performance with organizational performance to enhance the compensation system's performance orientation.

    • Ensures that employees achieve organizational objectives and the organization accomplishes its strategic plan goals.

    • SPMS Objectives:

      • Concretizing the linkage of organizational performance with the Philippine Development Plan, Agency Strategic Plan, and Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF).
      • Enhancing organizational and individual effectiveness by cascading institutional accountabilities across organizational levels.
      • Linking performance management with other HR systems.

    • The SPMS includes:

      • Goals aligned with agency mandate and organizational priorities.
      • An outcomes-oriented system.
      • A team approach to performance management.
      • User-friendly forms demonstrating alignment between individual and organisational objectives.
      • Information systems supporting monitoring and evaluation.
      • A communication plan.

    • SPMS complements the Results-Based Performance Management System implemented by the Office of the President.

    • It is linked to the Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS) consisting of the Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI) and Performance-Based Bonus (PBB).

    Key Players in SPMS

    • SPMS Champion (Agency Head)
    • Performance Management Team (PMT)
    • Planning Office
    • Human Resource Management Office
    • Head of Office (Director IV or equivalent)
    • Division Chief or equivalent
    • Individual Employees
