The City Government of Victorias spear-headed by the City Human Resource Management Office celebrates 107th Philippine Civil Service anniversary for the whole month of September 2007 with this year’s theme: “Itaguyod ang Kasarinlan ng Career Service”.
This year’s celebration aims to uplift the identity and stature of the career service as distinct institution. It kicked off with a simultaneous flag-raising ceremony on September 3, 2007 with SPMs Audie R. Malaga and Sulpicio B. Montinola, Jr. leading the prayer and the Panunumpa sa Katungkulan respectively. Vice Mayor Francis Frederick P. Palanca delivered an inspirational message and Ms. Faith B. Bacucang, head of city HRMO, read the chairman’s message .
Chairman Karina Constantino David had stressed that the career service is the bureaucracy’s gold mine, the source of institutional memory and professional expertise that pushes development efforts amidst changes in political leadership. As such, it deserves to be accorded esteem and attention as an institutional partner in governance. She encourages every civil servant to be better than what they are now and give more than what they have given in the past as well as to dedicate the next hundred years to the building of a legacy of leadership and public trust, and the career service, a testament of a professional bureaucracy.
Various activities were lined-up for the month-long celebration with a series of ball games- Basketball, Volleyball and badminton. There was a “Seminar on Public Service Ethnics and Accountability” on September 10-13 2007 (4 batches) which was participated by 200 city employees to strengthen their ethical values as civil servants.
Ms. Faith B. Bacucang and Ms. Mary Ann F. Valdevieso of the City Human Resource Management Office also attended the “Forum on the Challenges in Public Governance” and “Awarding Ceremonies for the Semi-Finalists of the Honor Awards Program” in Iloilo City on September 14 2007 with CSC Chair David as keynote speaker.
There was also a “Day with a barangay” which is a feeding program for the kids in four (4) depressed barangays (Barangay III, VI, VI-A & XIX) as identified by the City Social Welfare and Development Office on September 21,25,and 28 2007.
On September 25, 2007, the city had its first ever “Quiz Bee” competition among its city employees which was participated by the four teams (Blue, Yellow, Green, Red). Each team is composed of more or less than 100 city employees to compete for various sports activities/contests.
The “quiz Bee” competition is a friendly competition designed for city employees with the Red Team emerging as the Champion after five (5) tie-breaking questions with the Blue Team.
The culmination activity was the Musicale Contest on September 28 2007 wherein the teams competed for four categories – the Modern Dance, Vocal Duet and doble kara.
“Though this year’s activities are simple compared to past year’s celebration, it has more impact to the mental and physical well-being of our city employees and focused more on professionalizing them by providing inputs and promoting motivation to become effective partners in governance of the City of Victorias” Ms. Bacucang stressed.
