sangguniang panlalawigan, panlungsod and pambayan.
Riños said that CSC aims to
orient participants on the civil service laws and rules that they need
to observe in rendering their service. “Knowing these rules can
properly guide them and avoid violations specially pertaining to civil
service matters on personnel management,” Dir. Riños added. The
different topics were Csc programs & functions, duties & functions of
local executives, appointments and other personnel actions, modes of
separation & administrative disciplines.
The director said that they
selected Ormoc City as a venue for this activity just for a change and
because it can accommodate a lot of participants. They usually held
