(DepEd Order No. 9, s.2002) and the Search for Outstanding Public Officials and

Employees that has been conducted by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) annually

(CSC Memorandum Circular No. 03, s.2016).The initiative provides an inclusive

opportunity to all potential employees to benefit from the rewards and recognition

system that the department has already established. It prepares our human

resources more competitively for nomination and participation to the national level

or international level awards program.

The search activity aims to encourage, reward and give due recognition to the
