Dr. Floriza Laplap, Presidential Assistant for Planning and Development, said that the work of a public servant does not end with the closing of the CSC month celebration. Integrity in service must be practiced to attain trust in the community.

“As public servants, we should be trustworthy. We should be serving the public with integrity, accountability, and responsibility,” she said. 

Atty. Ariel Bacatan, CSC Acting Director IV also graced the occasion by sharing some cases to be considered as a government worker. He reminded all those present that, ‘’our role as civil servants is to render service.”
