BANGUED, Abra(PIA) -- The Civil Service Commission (CSC) Abra Field Office (FO) is calling all examinees of the canceled Career-Service Examination – Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) to get their examination fee refund at their office before the end of this year.
 
CSC-Abra FO Director Emily Balungay said examinations, both for prpfessional and sub-professional levels,  were originally set on March 15, 2020 but had been  cancelled  due to the prevailing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.

As per the record of CSC-Abra, there are a total of 1,177 applicants province-wide for the CSE-PPT-1,000 registrants for the professional level and 177 registrants for the subprofessional level.

Those who have not yet claimed their P500 refund  can get it  at the  CSC-Abra FO  located at Brgy. Calaba, Bangued in front of the DOST-Abra Provincial Office  during office hours.  
 
As of now, there are no schedules yet of face-to-face examinations for the CSE-PPT in compliance with the advisories and protocols of the Provincial Anti Covid-19 Task Force.
