MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 59

AUTHORIZING ATTENDANCE IN THE NATIONAL CONVENTION OF THE CAREER EXECUTIVE SERVICE OFFICIALS DURING THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION

The Civil Service Commission will be undertaking its Centennial Celebration on the theme: “Isang Daang Taong Paglilingkod, Mamamayan Muna, Civil Service at its Best”, to culminate on September 19, 2000, its 100 Anniversary Foundation Day. The National Council of Career Executive Service Organizations, Inc. (NCCESO) is fully supporting this CSC Centennial Celebration by holding a National Convention of the Career Executive Service Officers on the theme: “Poverty and Public Governance: An Agenda for the New Millennium” on September 18, 2000.

Poverty has been identified by His Excellency President Joseph E. Estrada’s Administration as the number one enemy of the country today. The fight against poverty is the central theme of his administration program of government ERAP PARA SA MAHIRAP.

The Career Executive Service Officers will be playing strategic and crucial role in alleviating poverty in the matter of not only pursuing economic growth but also in the promotion of wise and effective governance. Confronting poverty problems requires the focus on cost-effective, competent, honest and responsive bureaucracy, especially at the Career Executive Service (CES) level. For this purpose, the CES Officials are authorized to participate in the CES National Convention to be held during the period of the Civil Service Commission Centennial Celebration on official business with reasonable expenses for transportation, per diems and allowable expenses chargeable against their respective offices, subject to availability of funds and the usual accounting and auditing rules and regulations. Officers concerned shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to ensure that there is no disruption of normal office activities in their respective offices by reason hereof.

Within 30 days thereafter, participants shall submit a report on the National Convention outputs, action plans, and recommendations to their respective Department Secretaries and Heads of Agencies, copy furnished the Career Executive Service Board, Civil Service Commission and this Office.

By authority of the President:

(Sgd.) RONALDO B. ZAMORA
Executive Secretary

Manila, May 25, 2000.
