Search on for Cordillera heroes in public service

BAGUIO CITY -- The search for deserving public servants to this year’s Honor Awards Program (HAP) in the Cordillera Administrative Region is on.

Cordillera region CSC director Fernando M. Porio bared this saying the CAR is one of the regions in the country that has consistently produced heroes or outstanding public servants who have made a difference in their lives and in the service.

He said these heroes may come from the lowest rank to the highest official in government, whether elected or appointed.

Through its annual Honor Awards Program (HAP), the CSC confers awardees the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award, Dangalng Bayan Award and CSC Pagasa Award.

Last year, four nominees from the Cordillera reached the semi-finals and three of them won the national awards.

For wider reach, the CSC-Cordillera Administrative Region is asking the support of all CAR government agencies to display the prescribed 2012 streamer (6 ft length x 12 ft width) and submit their nominees to the Commission.

The streamer design and specifications can be downloaded from the CSC website www.csc.gov.ph.

Porio said HAP guidelines (CSC MC # 24, s. 2011), nomination forms, flyers may be secured from any of the CSC’s regional and field offices nationwide or downloaded from the CSC website.

Nominations may be submitted to any of the Commission’s regional and provincial/field offices or to the HAP Secretariat, Public Assistance and Information Office (PAIO), Constitution Hills, Diliman, Quezon City.

The deadline for submission of nominations is April 30, 2012 without extension.

Inquiries may be sent to the HAP Secretariat at telephone numbers (02) 931-7993, (02) 932-03-81, hotline (02) 932-01-11, Text CSC 0917-839-8272 or social networking sites: hap@webmail.csc.gov.ph, paio@webmail.csc.gov.ph, www.honorawardsprogram.wordpress.com, and www.facebook.com/HAP.
