MANILA – Following the successful observance of the 123rd Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the Civil Service Commission (CSC) has taken time to recognize its partner agencies which helped ensure the success of the event.
CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles said the agency’s expression of gratitude was conveyed during the Appreciation Program for PCSA Key Partners last November 15 at the CSC Resource Center in Quezon City.
In a statement, Nograles noted that the program served as a venue to appreciate the invaluable partnerships and collaborations forged toward a common goal.
“Kung gaano kabigat ang ating trabaho araw-araw bilang lingkod bayan, higit na mahirap manghikayat ng daan-daang ahensya at tanggapan ng pamahalaan mula sa iba’t ibang probinsya, lungsod, at munisipalidad sa bansa na makilahok sa ating mga aktibidad para sa pagdiriwang ng PCSA ngayong taon (Compared to the daily grind experienced daily by civil servants, it is more difficult to encourage hundreds of government agencies and offices from various provinces, cities and municipalities in the country to join in the PCSA activities this year),” he said.
“This difficult task required the concerted efforts of multiple stakeholders, and our partners have been indispensable in helping us achieve this mission. Kaya maraming maraming salamat sa inyong suporta at kooperasyon (We thank you very much for your support and cooperation),” Nograles said.
