Civil Service Commission (CSC) chairperson Karlo Nograles expressed appreciation for the dedication and heroism of civil servants who continue to serve with passion and integrity even in the face of adversity.
In his year-end message, Nograles also noted how government workers from different fields weathered every crisis with the resilient and enduring spirit that defines Filipinos.
Nograles said government workers—from tireless healthcare works, public schools teachers, to government engineers who build bridges—embody what it truly means to be a public servant.
“Amid the disruptions brought by social, political, and environmental issues, civil servants serve as the anchors of stability, the engines of progress, and the symbol of continuity in a world of many uncertainties,” he added.
Nograles also encouraged the 1.9 million civil servants across the nation to embrace the Christmas spirit and welcome the approaching New Year not only through festive gatherings but also by fulfilling the moral obligation of uplifting the lives of the less fortunate.
He remains optimistic that public sector employees will continue working with excellence, integrity, and love for country to build a legacy of good governance for generations to come.
“In this season of giving, let our greatest gift be the unwavering strength of our community, shining its light brightly for all to see. As we turn the page to a new year, let us embrace the promise of renewal. Let us commit to building a Philippines where compassion reigns, where every Filipino thrives, and where the light of public service shines ever brighter,” he added.
