Applications now open for Career Service Examination

For those who would like to enter government service, the Civil Service Commission in the Cordillera is now accepting applications for the Career Service Examinations Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) for Professional (Second level) and Subprofessional (First Level) on July 27. Application forms are available at any CSC regional or field office. The same may be downloaded from the CSC website: www.csc.gov.ph. Application forms may be reproduced provided the same format is followed.

Applicants may file their applications in any of the CSC regional or CSC field offices. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age on the date of filing of application; Filipino citizens, of good moral character; have not been convicted by final judgment of an offense or crime involving moral turpitude, or of disgraceful or immoral conduct, dishonesty, examination irregularity, drunkenness or addiction to drugs and have not been dishonorably discharged from military service or dismissed for cause from any civilian positions in the government.

Applicants with pending administrative or criminal cases may take the examination and will be conferred the eligibility if they successfully pass the same. However, this is without prejudice to the outcome of their pending cases.

They also not have taken the same level of CS examination in less than three months or failed the same examination four times beginning Oct. 7, 2002. Those who have already passed the same or a comparable level of examination like licensure examinations given by the Professional Regulation Commission, and the Bar examination need not apply.

Information on Civil Service Examinations is available at the CSC website, www.csc.gov.ph. Be guided accordingly.
