QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- The Civil Service Commission (CSC) launched an online system to provide the general public and human resource management officers of government agencies with convenient access to civil service eligibility information.
The Civil Service Eligibility Verification System (CSEVS) is designed to be an online search platform that enables access to a database of eligible individuals who have successfully passed the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT), Computerized Examination (COMEX), and Computer Assisted Test, as well as individuals who have been granted eligibility under special laws and CSC issuances.
One of the major components of the CSEVS is the External Online Verification of Civil Service Eligibilities, which has been developed to make it easier for HRMOs to verify the eligibility of applicants before the issuance of appointments. The eligible individuals themselves can also access their eligibility information using the CSEVS.
"Instead of requiring the submission of an authenticated proof of eligibility from applicants, agency HRMOs may now use the CSEVS to check the eligibility of individuals," CSC Chairperson Karlo Nograles explained.
Chairperson Nograles highlights that the CSEVS aims to reduce the cost and time spent on eligibility verification and authentication procedures on the part of the eligible individuals, the HRMOs, and CSC verifiers, while also strengthening the integrity of the process of attracting, screening, and appointing individuals in government.
The availability of the CSEVS complements the amendment to Section 4 of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (ORAOHRA), which was promulgated through CSC Resolution No. 2300248 on 25 April 2023 and implemented through CSC Memorandum Circular No. 3, s. 2023 dated 4 July 2023. Under the amendment, government agencies are allowed to submit various forms of the Certificate of Eligibility (COE) using the CSEVS for regular appointments, covering permanent, temporary, coterminous, fixed-term, contractual, substitute, provisional, and casual positions.
Moreover, the CSC is actively working on establishing data-sharing arrangements with various entities, including the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), Philippine National Police (PNP), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), National Telecommunications Office, Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), Career Executive Service Board (CESB), Professional Regulation Commission (PRC), and Supreme Court (SC), to facilitate the verification process for eligibilities provided by these entities.
The new web application and the amendment to ORAOHRA are part of the CSC's efforts to digitalize and upgrade its service delivery. More information about the CSEVS, including an instructional video on the use of the system, will be available on the CSC's website at http://www.csc.gov.ph and its official Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok channels.
