In the pursuit for integrity and commitment to excellence in public service, the Department of Education – Davao City Division has been conducting a series of seminar on the 2017 Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service (2017 RACCS) and Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) for employees in the Division and the School Administrators in the public elementary and secondary schools. This initiative responds to the challenge of the Schools Division Superintendent Maria Ines C. Asuncion, CESO V to all DepEd employees to aim for transparency, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency in governance.

During the seminar, Davao City Field Office Director Minda G. Ostique emphasized on PRIME-HRM as a mechanism that empowers government agencies through the development of human resource management competencies, systems, and practices towards excellence. In addition, employees were reminded of the eight (8) Norms of Conduct under Republic Act 6713, namely, Commitment to Public Service, Professionalism, Justness and Sincerity, Political Neutrality, Responsiveness to the Public, Nationalism and Patriotism, Commitment to Democracy, and Simplicity, as standards of personal conduct in the discharge and execution of official duties

The resource speakers from the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Region XI discussed the procedures on disciplinary and non-disciplinary administrative cases in detail.  Moreover, salient provisions of the 2017 RACCS pertaining to complaints in Sexual Harassment cases were also part of the lecture.

Furthermore, the presence of the CSC Regional Directors Adam D. Torres and Cyril-Nathan SM. Eamiguel during the open forum was significant in ensuring participant’s comprehensive grasp of learning from the topics.

The series of seminar started on May and runs until July 2018.
