ED Allones graces REDIRAS general assembly
CESB Executive Director Maria
Anthonette V. Allones, CESO I,
graced the general assembly of
the Regional Directors Association
(REDIRAS), a regional chapter of
the National Union of Career
Executive Service Off icers
(NUCESO) held at the DILG
Regional Office V on September 8,
2011.
ED Allones narrated to the
participants the historical transfor-
mation of the Career Executive
Service (CES) and its tradition
of competence, excellence, and
service. She reiterated the statement
of a recognized CES paragon and
former CESB Executive Director
Jose P. De Jesus that the CES is
elitist and its elitism is grounded on
meritocracy. “A CESO is indeed
the cream of the crop and definitely
a cut above the rest”, she added.
ED Allones also presented the
competency-based CES Talent
Management Framework and cited
the CES core competencies. She
discussed the rigorous process of
recruiting, refreshing and retaining
CES talents. She enumerated the
CESB core training offerings and
Atty. Maria Anthonette V. Allones, CESO I, talks about CESB core programs,
policy reforms and the CES tradition of competence, excellence and service.
CESB-accredited training programs

could attend to and explained as
well other pertinent policies on
eligibility and rank appointment.
She also took the opportunity to
acknowledge the ability of CESOs
to provide continuity amidst change
and stability particularly in times of
uncertainties. She regarded this as
one of the many reasons to say,
“Taas noo, CESO!” ED Allones
proudly announced the CESB’s
laudable effort to further the
awareness of ICT for development
in the Philippines which was
recognized by the United Nations
Asian and Pacific Training Centre
for Information and Communica-
tions Technology for Development
(UN-APCICT) during the 2nd
UN-APCICT Annual Partners’
Meeting held in South Korea on
November last year. In 2009,
CESB was also recognized as the
Most Outstanding Accounting
Office for adopting centralized
accounting system.
ED Allones concluded her talk
by challenging the members of
REDIRAS to continue to effect
change where it is needed, expertise
where it is missing and leadership
where it is wanting.

CESB commends Sec. De Lima for issuing
DOJ Department Circular No. 20
The Career Executive Service
Board (CESB) through Resolution
No. 950 s. 2011 commended
Department of Justice (DOJ)
Secretary Leila M. De Lima for
her firm recognition and adherence
to civil service rules in the recruit-
ment, appointment, transfer and
promotion of personnel in the DOJ
with the issuance of Department
Circular No. 20 s. 2011.
Said Circular explicitly pro-
vided, among others, that in order
to professionalize the Department,
employment and career advance-
ment in the government service
shall be based on merit and fitness.
It further stated that qualification,
track record, work experience and
integrity of the applicant are para-
mount and must always be the basis
for the selection, hiring and promo-
tion of personnel. Thus, endorse-
ments from public personalities in
employment application, promotion
and transfer are not encouraged and
no preferential treatment shall be
accorded to applications supported
by such endorsements.
The CESB recognizes that one
of the challenges in modern govern-
ance is the politicization of the third
level where unqualified officials are
appointed to the third level and/ or
appointment is made in disregard of
pertinent civil service rules and
regulations that led to the perpetua-
tion of the “spoils system” in the
appointment process. The CESB
shares the mandate of the above
circular in recognizing the promo-
tion of professionalism and up-
holding merit and fitness not just
in the Career Executive Service
(CES) but in the government
service as a whole. Likewise, it
vows to continue its collaborative
efforts with Secretary De Lima
to strengthen careerism in the
government service.
CESB clarifies the coverage of the CES
Who’s in and who’s out?
The CESB Governing Board, in
its June 14, 2011 meeting, issued a
resolution clarifying the positions
covered under the Career Executive
Service (CES).
CESB Resolution No. 945 based
its clarification on the Administra-
tive Code of 1987, the Integrated
Reorganization Plan of 1972, CESB
Memorandum Circular No. 3 of
2009 and the Supreme Court ruling
in the case of PCSO vs. CSC, G.R.
Nos. 185766 and 185767.
Legal Basis The Integrated Reorganization
Plan of 1972 created the CES
to “form a continuing pool of
well-selected and development-
oriented career administrators
who shall provide competent and
faithful service”. The same law
provided for the establishment of
the Career Executive Service
Board (CESB) to “promulgate
rules, standards and procedures on
the selection, classification, com-
pensation and career development
of members of the CES.”
The CESB has since issued
various resolutions to clarify the
coverage of the CES and to estab-
lish criteria on classifying positions
that belong to the CES.
Obviously CES In 2010, the Supreme Court
ruled that the coverage of the
CES is limited to positions that
require the appointment of the
President of the Philippines.
These positions are expressly
enumerated under the Administra-
tive Code of 1987. They are, to wit:
Undersecretary, Assistant Secre-
tary, Bureau Director, Assistant
Bureau Director, Regional Director,
Assistant Regional Director, and
Chief of Department Service.
These positions need not be
further classified by the CESB as
they are deemed part of the CES
and are subject to CES rules, stan-
dards and procedures as promul-
gated by the Board.
The Three-Way Test There are cases, however, when
positions occupied by presidential
appointees are not expressly in-
cluded in the nomenclature of posi-
tions under the Administrative
Code of 1987. Such was the case of
officials appointed to the position
of Administrator at the Office of
the Transport Security. Upon the
request of their agency head,
they were placed under the
coverage of the CES when they
were found to have complied
with the three-way criteria provided
by CESB Memorandum Circular
No. 3 of 2009.
CESB Resolution No. 945 now
provides that unless the same
positions are classified or expressly
named under the law, presidential
appointees currently occupying

PMS Executives undergo CESPES Orientation
The Career Executive Service
Board (CESB) in its continuing
effort towards helping government
agencies to comply with the
mandatory use of CESPES con-
ducted a CESPES Orientation at the
Presidential Management Staff
(PMS) on September 7, 2011.
Atty. Arturo M. Lachica, CESO
II, facilitated the workshop. He
focused his discussion on perform-
ance contract which is regarded
by many as the most difficult
part of the CESPES processes,
yet the most critical as it
represents 80% of the over-all
CESPES rating. The performance
contract can be accomplished
through the use of the Performance
Contract and Review Form
(PCRF). It measures and assesses
the ratee’s performance on the
basis of work target commit-
ments established and actually
accomplished and completed by
the ratee.
Director Lachica presented a
sample PCRF to the participants
and explained its essential com-
ponents. One of which is the
Performance Milestones that are
categorized into leading and inno-
vating, and regular and routine.
Milestones pertain to the specific
targets or end outputs that are nego-
tiated between the ratee official and
the superior rater. He gave some
helpful tips as well as the necessary
steps in formulating milestones.
In writing the performance
milestones, Director Lachica
advised the PMS officials to iden-
tify the desired accomplishments
rather than the planned activities.
He presented sample materials in
converting work/ activity into out-
put statements. He also suggested to
look at the overall picture by
identifying outcome goal as out-
lined in the strategic plan, speci-
fying performance goals for your
program area outlined in the per-
formance plans and identifying
performance measures already in
place.
PMS Secretary Julia Andrea
R. Abad-Parker delivered the
closing remark and underscored
the importance of CESPES in
monitoring the work performance
of PMS officials for further
improvement of service delivery
in the bureaucracy. The CESPES
Orientation was attended by the
PMS Management Committee
members, which consist of the
Undersecretaries, Assistant Secre-
taries, Directors as well as Assis-
tant Directors.
Atty. Arturo M. Lachica, CESO II, shares the CESPES issuances and other
pertinent details with third level officials of the Presidential Management Staff.

CESB to roll out alternative to the CES W.E. Governing Board adopts rules and procedures on Competency Profiling and Portfolio Assessment
In its July 12, 2011 meeting, the
CES Governing Board approved the
rules and procedures on Compe-
tency Profiling and Portfolio As-
sessment, a proposed alternative to
the CES Written Examination
(W.E.).
The W.E., the first stage in the
current four-stage CES examination
system, measures an applicant’s
managerial aptitude via an assess-
ment of one’s knowledge and com-
petence in general information,
verbal ability, comprehension,
logical thinking, and managerial
knowledge and skills. It allows
the screening of applicants from
different backgrounds according to
the same numerical scale.
The Competency Profiling and
Portfolio Assessment aims to
strengthen the CES examination
process by providing an alternative
route to eligibility for CES
incumbents who have displayed
“exemplary contributions, given
their educational attainment,
training and extensive managerial
experience.”
Applicants for the Portfolio
Assessment should have at least 10
years of managerial experience in a
third level position, finished at
least a Masteral degree in any of
the technical fields of the agency’s
concern, have shown consistent
outstanding performance as exem-
plified by their significant contri-
butions and outstanding accom-
plishments and, for applicants from
GOCCs, have been nominated or
endorsed by the Department
Secretary or Head of Office.
For those who will not
qualify, the W.E. will remain as
the first stage of the examination
process.
From NCR to Region III.
The CES Club has successfully
attracted a new batch of participants
for its seminar-workshop on
“speaking with confidence” and
“delivering speech that connects”.
A total of 50 government execu-
tives trooped to the Oasis Hotel,
Angeles City, Pampanga to learn
helpful tips on how to be better and
effective speakers last September
15, 2011.
Facilitated by Gwendolyn Albar-
racin, the seminar-workshop taught
executives to connect to their audi-
ence, improve their oral communi-
cation skills, conquer the stage and
gain confidence in the process. Al-
barracin is the Chief Operating Of-
ficer of the Learnax (The Learning
Access), a division of the Center for
Pop Philippines, Inc. Albarracin
shared with the participants
valuable tips on how to give ef-
fective opening speeches. “It is
necessary to find a connection be-
tween the topic and the audience,”
she said. A speaker, according to
her, may use an intriguing state-
ment or question, a mind-blower or
unusual fact, or an anecdote to
catch the interest of their listeners.
She also encouraged the partici-
pants to spice up their speeches by
using stories, statistics, brief case
studies, quotations, props and visual
aids, audience participation or by
using humor. Throughout the semi-
nar-workshop, Albarracin encour-
aged active participation and pro-
vided the executives the opportu-
nity to deliver short speeches or
spiels for a certain topic. She also
expressed her evaluation and con-
structive feedback for further im-
provement of the participants and
provided some advice on how they
could project a better image of
public managers.
The CES Club is a career devel-
opment program that seeks to de-
velop and enhance the socio-
cultural and artistic quotient of
CESOs while promoting civic
consciousness among government
executives.

assess applicants/ candidates under-
going the Assessment Center (AC),
the second stage of the Career Ex-
ecutive Service eligibility examina-
tion process. The AC is a series of
simulation exercises designed to
determine whether the applicant has
the capacity to advance to manage-
rial duties and responsibilities and
the ability to grow and develop in
the bureaucracy.
The 19 newly-certified Asses-
sors underwent sample exercises on
how to handle each simulation ac-
tivities given during the conduct of
AC. Completion of the workshop is
a requirement for the participant to

Board acts to protect officials from harassment
The CES Governing Board
revised its policy on recommenda-
tion for original and promotional
appointments to CES ranks by
allowing the recommendation of
officials with pending cases deemed
to have arisen from malicious
intent. This serves to protect offi-
cials from undue harassment and
not discourage them from perform-

Definitely Out CESB Resolution No. 945 goes
one step further than merely
identifying those who are covered
by the CES. It likewise provides
the criteria for identifying those that
are excluded from the service.
These are officials with fixed terms
of office, those who are in elective
positions, those belonging to closed
career systems (e.g. the Foreign
Service) as well as Head Executive
Assistants.
An agency may likewise request
the Board to declare a position to be
‘non-CES’ if its agency head deems
it proper. A request for exemption
should be filed with CESB
accompanied by appropriate justifi-
cations. Upon receipt of such
request, the Board shall issue a
decision on the matter within a
reasonable time.

of the CES, except if they belong to Project Offices, in which case a position
classification is required, in consultation with the Department of Budget
and Management.
For presidential appointees other than those enumerated above, position
classification is necessary upon the request of the head of office of the
agency concerned, based on the following criteria:
1. The position is a career position;
2. The position is above division chief level; and,
3. The duties and responsibilities of the position require the performance
of executive and managerial functions.
The following executive and managerial positions, on the other hand, are
excluded from the coverage of the CES:

of office and their personal and confidential staff;
d. Contractual personnel or those whose employment in the
government is in accordance with a special contract to undertake a specific

CESB Executive Director Maria

served as one of the guest speakers
in the Executive Management
Training Program held last July 4,
2011 at the Teachers Camp in
Baguio City. The event was spon-
sored by the National Educators
Academy of the Philippines

Speaking before educators and
education executives, Allones dis-
cussed the evolution of the Philip-
pine Career Executive Service
(CES) and its tradition of compe-
tence, excellence, and service.
Quoting former CESB Executive
Director and a known CES paragon,
Jose P. De Jesus, Allones affirmed
that “the CES is indeed elitist but its
elitism is grounded on meritoc-
racy.” According to Allones,
“CESOs are considered as cream of
the crop and definitely a cut above
the rest.”

She also discussed the pertinent
policies on eligibility and rank
appointment.
Allones also took the opportu-
nity to promote the Taas Noo,
CESO! campaign. According to her,
CESOs, as symbolized by the ballet
dancer, represents balance and
movement which are the significant
roles of CESOs in times of change
and transition.
Allones also shared the good
news on CESB’s efforts to
further the awareness on ICT for
development in the Philippines.
CESB’s efforts was recognized by
the United Nations Asian and

mation and Communications Tech-
nology for Development (UN-

ents. She explained that at least a
Division Chief (SG-24) performing
actual supervisory or managerial
functions is qualified to take the
CES Written Examination, except
Atty. Maria Anthonette V. Allones talks before the country’s recognized

July - September 2011 CES News
Pampanga hosts 10th session of GABAY
The Career Executive Service
Board (CESB) has successfully
conducted the 10th Session of the
Integrated Gabay ng Paglilingkod
(GABAY) at the Oasis Hotel,
Angeles City, Pampanga from July
7 – 15, 2011.
Attended by a total of 59 execu-
tives, GABAY, which is the third
and last course under the CESB’s
Executive Leadership Program
(ELP), aims to address the execu-
tives’ needs to remain effective on
the job and have a better apprecia-
tion of the demands and challenges
that they have to face as managers
and leaders. A nine-day residential,
intensive course - GABAY has 3
basic modules: Planning and Orga-
nizing for Greater Impact (Module
I), Academy of ICT Essentials for
Government Leaders (Module II),
and Community/Organizational
Attachment Module (COAM)
(Module III).
The COAM considered as the
terminal learning integration course
under the ELP serves as a frame-
work for integrating the knowledge,
skills, lessons and experiences
learned from the previous modules.
In this session, the COAM featured
the local government unit of San
Fernando City, Pampanga, as a best
practice “laboratory” organization
in cooperation with the City Mayor
and the Office of Strategy Manage-
ment (OSM).
Mayor Oscar Rodriguez graced
the opening session and presented a
wide-range of discussion on the
PGS --- the management tool which
the city government adopted in
improving its governance. The
presentation also highlighted the
partnership between the govern-
ment and the private sector with
the creation of the Multi-Sectoral
Governance Council (MSGC). The
occasion provided an opportunity
for the GABAY participants to
interact with the city government
officials and private sector repre-
sentatives who sit in the different
committees of the MSGC.
The GABAY participants ex-
perienced a brief immersion on the
different projects showcasing the
best practices which earned a
number of awards for the City
Government of San Fernando. Each
group of participants presented
their report to the three-man
team panel of reactors, namely:
City Administrator Ferdinand
Caylao, City Planning Coordinator
Fernando Limbitco and MSGC
Executive Director Fr. Restituto
Lumanlan. The presentations were
followed by a message from
CESB Executive Director Maria
Anthonette Allones, CESO I, and
concluded with the awarding of
certificates to the participants.
Atty. Maria Anthonette V. Allones, CESO I, challenges the GABAY participants to be CESOs who would provide continuity
amidst change and provide stability in times of uncertainties.
