More Pinoys want to work in gov’t – CSC

More Filipinos have shown interest in working in government, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.

“Right now we’re seeing more interest, higher interest in fact from the younger generation to enter into government,” CSC Chairperson Karlo Alexei Nograles said in a Palace presser.

“Before, noong una ang ginagawa ng mga mag-asawa ay iyong isang asawa ay nasa private sector. Iyong kanyang asawa ay nasa government sector para balanse. Pero right now mukhang ang direksiyon na nga dahil nakita nila ang advantages of working in government, ang mag-asawa mas gusto nang parehong nasa gobyerno,” he added.

Nograles said most Filipinos now recognize the benefits of working in government. 

“I think the increase in the interest basically of getting into government and getting or landing a plantilla item was highlighted during the pandemic,” the CSC chief said.

During the pandemic, private offices were forced to close, leaving employees without salaries.

“But government continued to operate and suweldo ng mga officials and employees of government continued to be given,” according to him.IMT
