3rd Quarter 2015 CES News

N AGA CITY ‐ Home to a lot of churches which

dates back during the Span‐ish Era and surrounded by verdant mountains, the City is a perfect place for con‐templation and self‐evaluation for the 28th ses‐sion of the Integrated Sala‐min‐Diwa ng Paglilingkod (SALDIWA) Training Course held last 1 to 14 September 2015.

Anchored on the premise that good leadership is

based on complete and honest knowledge of one’s self, values, areas of strength and improvement, 43 learners were engaged in modular sessions with skills enhancing workshop activities. As an opening salvo, Professor Benja‐min E. Diokno from the University of the Philippines provided the Philippine macro‐economic situationer, which was followed by leadership modules, such as the Fourfold Direction of Life Mr. Santos E. Getalado, founding Presi‐dent of the S.E. Getalado Consultancy and Leadership Center; the Ethical Leadership Model with Assistant Profes‐sor Emervencia L. Ligutom from Siliman University; the Wheel of a Balanced Life of Ms. Teresita R. Albert, President and Chief Executive Officer of TRAC; the Communication Strategy of Professor Josefina J. Quintana from the Uni‐versity of Santo Tomas; the state of poverty in the Philippines under the module of former DSWD Undersecretary Celia C. Yangco; and countless more from these dynamic resource persons.

On 9 September 2015, Barangay Bagolatao, a small costal barangay in Minalabac, Camarines Sur known for its white pebble beaches, became the immersion site of the 43 learners under the Community Engagement Module (CEM). The name of the Barangay came from the words “bagol”, which means coconut shell, and “latao”, which means to float.

F orty (40) CESOs, eligibles and third‐level executives participated in this year's 7th CES Creative Innovations and Reforms for Committed Leadership and Effectiveness (CiRCLE) Forum held last September 23 at Marco Polo Hotel in Davao City, with its year‐round theme: “Transform Tomorrow Today – R U Game 4 Change?” The aforesaid CES CiRCLE Forum, which has focused on enhancing individual and institutional competencies in managing the realities of political, economic and cultural integration, sought to deepen and sustain collective inspi‐ration of the CESOs and eligibles towards a deeper appreciation of dynamic leadership and governance through the ideas and best practices shared by thought leaders and public service exemplars. Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)‐XI Regional Director Mariano R. Alquiza, CESO III, welcomed the delegates and expressed his thanks to CESB Executive Director (ED) Atty. Maria Anthonette Velasco‐Allones for "making learning accessible to the executives in the region to upgrade their skills and competency and to renew and enhance their commitment to public service." 4

The immersion experience of the learners aimed to deepen their awareness of key challenges, issues and develop‐ments in governance and development in the local community they interact with; and formulate and harness more inclusive, innovative and sustainable policies and programs. They were tasked to do field evaluation research in the municipality using interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies. They were divided into four sectoral groups according to their technical expertise and work experience, namely, Education and Human Resource and Training Development; Public Utilities, Infrastructure, Land Use and Environmental Management; Local Govern‐ance – Institutions/Structures/Sectors, Systems, Processes and Dynamics; and, Enterprise Development, Agricul‐tural Productivity and Economic Promotion.

Local government officials and representatives from the Municipal Government of Minalabac and Barangay Bagolatao were invited as panel of reactors to the group report presentations of the SALDIWA Batch 28 learners. Their group outputs were comprised of sectoral profile of stakeholders, challenges and issues in governance and development; community agenda for strengthening governance and development; individual daily reflection journal; and, group reflection report on the challenges, lessons and commitments to good governance and public service.

RANKS OF TRANSFORMERS. CESB Executive Director Maria Anthonette Velasco‐Allones (seated 6th from left) is flanked by resource speakers Ernesto O. Cecilia, DOTC Undersecretary Anneli R. Lontoc and ICT expert Alexander M. Arevalo with government executives of the South.

This was followed by opening remarks from ED Allones, who said that, “Masarap iikot ang CiRCLE dahil nagkakaki‐lala ang isa’t isa." She said further, "Transformation initiatives are made easy, keeping in mind the CES mantra, 'When we know each other half of the work is done.'... I am hopeful that the CiRCLE provides the executives continued inspiration, rein‐forces fundamental competencies in the same way as riding a bicycle. You might know how but only when you ride the bike often does it make for smooth and enjoyable ride." Topics tackled during the one‐day CES CiRCLE Forum were as follows: change management (by Mr. Ernesto Ce‐cilia), the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) as a change agent (by Mr. Alexander Arevalo), and actual experiences of CESOs in personal and organizational transformation (by DOTC Undersecretary Anneli Lontoc and DPWH Assistant Secretary Emil Sadain). Usec Lontoc informed and forewarned the delegates of the life of a leader: "It has its ups and downs, basing it from my 33 years of experience in government service." She highlighted the stages of change which include "a valley of despair and key to it is to bounce back soonest and move on; and having faith in the Lord, trusting him for protec‐tion and praying for discernment." Likewise, Asec Sadain shared not just the story of transformation of DPWH‐ARMM from his secondment as Re‐gional Cabinet Secretary of ARMM from January 2012 to June 2015, but also shared his strategies and his heart for engaging and encouraging the people he worked with. "ARMM is an area unlike any other. Muslim na nga ako nahirapan pa ako tumugon sa problema," he said with alac‐rity, adding that, "We have the kakayahan but we have to level up...We cannot take out public service in the most deprived areas. Your subordinates' failure is your failure as a leader. Mentor them. Help them to be like you." ED Allones responded to Asec Sadain's presentation by commending the culture‐sensitive reforms, commitment, authentic engagement, and excellence brought about by Asec Sadain’s leadership. She also made the clos‐ing remarks, thanking the Association of Regional Executives of National Agencies (ARENA)‐XI and its president RD Alquiza, the speakers, and the participants for taking the time to learn and equip themselves. She hoped that they would join the ranks of transformers, "not decepticons but transformers such as Optimus Prime."

T he Career Executive Service Board (CESB) successfully

gathered 65 CESOs and third‐

level eligibles in “The Look of Suc‐

cess: Personal Branding for the

Successful CESO,” the fourth and

last leg of the CES Club's ses‐

sion last September 30, 2015 at

the Osmeña Theater of the Bureau

of the Treasury, Ayuntamiento

Building on Cabildo corner Aduana

streets in Intramuros, Manila.

The event’s resource speaker, Ms.

Maria Mercedes Consuelo J. Sison,

who is a US‐trained image consult‐

ant and certified fashion stylist,

elucidated on the essence of ap‐

plying personal branding properly

and effectively in the workplace,

realizing the importance of culti‐

vating a personal leadership

brand for high‐level career de‐

velopment, learning the key

tools to an effective executive

presence, and integrating one’s

executive persona with personal

authenticity for a stronger posi‐

tive influence and leadership

impact.

Ms. Sison, or simply Minette as

she is called, began the lecture

with the ABCs of personal

branding, or the image. “Image

consists of one’s appearance,

behavior, and communication.

55% is based on your appear‐

and 7% on what you say. Image

is how people perceive or look

at you or a representation of

yourself to others.”

She offered key pointers to en‐

hance one’s image, among

which are:

Red or black is a symbol of

power or authority.

One should avoid wearing

very bright colors in the

workplace.

During formal events, wear‐

ing of pantyhose for women

is a must.

avoid wearing a shiny suit to

Ms. Minette further pointed out

that: “Character – under which

behavior and communication be‐

long – is really important; it will

(help) sustain you in your careers

and in your profession, but you

cannot do away with appearance.

No matter how outstanding your

resume is, if you don’t take care

about your appearance, your su‐

periors will have a hard time rec‐

onciling between the appearance

and the ability or competence.”

She also emphasized the impor‐

tance of personal hygiene: "Bathe

thoroughly, take care of body

odor, choose fragrances well,

look fresh... Brush after meals,

have a loofah scrub, floss after

brushing and visit the dentist

regularly."

"Appearance, behavior and com‐

munication are indeed the keys

to developing a professional

brand," she reiterated, add‐

ing, "Live (by) the brand. It's you

who become the product and

carry the brand."

She likewise encouraged the

participants to "study the cul‐

ture of your different offices"

and to integrate their personal

styles into their professional

dressing, and at the same time

inject their individuality into

their personal styles. In closing, she encouraged every participant to be a partner in human development. At the end of the session, the participants exuded confidence, having acquired knowledge which can aid them in packaging themselves for career advance‐ment and leadership develop‐ment. “I hope CESB can conduct peri‐

odic talks on this topic so execu‐

tives such as myself could learn

more on improving our personal

branding for career develop‐

ment,” suggested Mr. Paysal B.

Development System Council in Manila where it was first presented. Ms. Sitti Amina M. Jain, CESO IV, is the OIC Regional Director of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Region IX. The initiatives she has introduced for the effective implementation of Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSME) Development in Region IX enabled DTI R‐IX to surpass its 2014 target and benefited thousands of participants all over the region. One of her initiatives is the mobilization of DTI Mobile Caravans‐Diskwento Caravans to far‐flung areas of the region, where people who are in dire need of the service reside. Mr. Rodolfo Lb. Jaucian, CESO V, who as Regional Director of the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB)‐National Capital Region caters to some 300 clients per day, introduced the P.I.N.K.4 (Para sa Interes ng Kababaihan, Kabataan, may Kapansanan at may Katandaan) Project and Driver’s Academy, which have redefined the service commitment of LTFRB‐NCR. Moreover, as part of his advocacy on eliminating red tape, he introduced the concept of Service Challenge (“When It’s Late, It’s Free”) and reversed the process flow of some LTFRB core processes, such as the issuance of special permits, which resulted in a more efficient delivery of LTFRB‐NCR’s services.

Meanwhile, Rosa H. Lacanglacang, CESO IV, Mateo G. Montaño, CESO I, and Emil K. Sadain, CESO II, were chosen as winners of the Outstanding CEO Award, which recognizes the strategic leadership qualities of government

Montano, CESO I, is the Undersecretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). His political courage in implementing austerity measures in the department has resulted in improved communication service, logistics, property and fund management that ensured effective and efficient delivery of the general support services in the department and savings amounting to PhP 107,375,000. Mr. Emil K. Sadain, CESO II, who was on secondment at DPWH‐ARMM as its Regional Secretary from January 2012 to June 2015, is the current Assistant Secretary of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Hailed as the “Father of Reform Agenda in DPWH‐ARMM”, he has proved his leadership acumen through the “total makeover” of DPWH‐ARMM by way of improved policies, programs and fiscal management thereby generating savings that amounted to PhP 290.924 million, a boost of morale within the organization, and the development of

infrastructures in the ARMM.

debriefing dialogues, homily/ ecumenical service, and community music jamming. The workshop training followed

the “train the trainer” framework wherein the learners are honed as future trainers/ facilitators.

In the closing ceremony, the participants pledged their commitment, which they posted on a hope bearers’ wall.

S ixty‐three (63) CESOs and third‐level eligibles participated in the 6th CES Creative Innovations and Reforms for Committed Leadership and

Effectiveness (CiRCLE) Forum held last August 27, 2015 at The Farm's Convention Hall on Carpenter Hill in Koronadal City, capital of South Cotabato, hailed as the "land of the dream weavers". The said CiRCLE Forum, which continues to trumpet change management and transformational leadership

and has been making rounds in different regions with the theme, “Transform Tomorrow Today: R U Game 4 Change?”, was held in partnership with the National Union of Career Executive Service Officers (NUCESO) Inc. and its regional chapter, the Association of Regional Development Executives in Region XII (ARDE XII). During the morning's opening ceremony, CESB Executive Director Atty. Maria Anthonette C. Velasco‐Allones, CESO I , the forum's main facilitator, welcomed everyone to the occasion and acknowledged the support of ARDE XII. To set expectations, she provided an overview of how the forum was designed: theoretical sessions, specifically focusing on change management and information and communications technology (ICT); sharing on best practices in organizational transformation, with the

DPWH‐ARMM taking center stage; and the personal transformation story of a CESO for lessons and inspiration. She also gave emphasis on the importance of the adage, “When we know each other, half of the work is done”, as she encouraged the learners to get to know the other participants.

Likewise, in his welcome remarks, Director Maximo C. Aljibe of CHED Region XII (also ARDE XII president and NUCESO vice‐president for Mindanao) reiterated among CESOs and third‐level eligibles the call of personal transformation to meaningfully transform the lives of others. The first plenary learning session that day was conducted by Mr. Ernie O. Cecilia, columnist of the Philippine Daily Inquirer and Chair of the American Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine's human capital committee, with his topic, "The Leader as Maestro in Orchestrating Change". "Your career success depends not on doing well what you've been doing in the past, but on changing quickly so that you can do effectively what you

need to do in the future", said people management expert Cecilia. He added: “You can’t know which changes will occur. So your most valuable skill is how to master change that comes your way. Better yet, orchestrate it”. Moreover, he mentioned some keys to success in orchestrating change, among which are as follows: set and get used to a fast pace; always have a positive mental attitude; practice integrity and honesty; be decisive; be flexible; learn to "multi‐task"; use technology and other tools; listen to and heed your stakeholders; produce results that create value; redefine success and reinvent yourself. He concluded, "Success, like happiness, is a choice... Acting as 'change agent' or 'change maestro' is the best...you'll ever have". This was followed by another plenary learning session with the topic, "The Heart of the Public Servant‐Leader: Personal Transformation on the Path of Leadership", which imparted life lessons from the personal transformation story of Department of Health's Bureau of Local Health Systems Development Director Dr. Enrique A. Tayag, CESO III. Dr. Tayag said that his road to transformation is a work in progress, transformation is never perfect, and

perfection requires transformation. "Intentions shall be backed by real experience and real experience by knowledge and quest for continuous learning," he further said. In the afternoon, DPWH Assistant Secretary Emil K. Sadain, CESO II, discussed "Organizational Transformation: The Metamorphosis of DPWH‐ARMM" in the third plenary learning session. Asec Sadain elucidated the developments that DPWH‐ARMM has undertaken and of which participants had no prior knowledge until the presentation. Mr. Alexander M. Arevalo, an ICT consultant who has an extensive experience in government through his nine‐year work as executive assistant for three Philippine presidents, conducted the final plenary learning session, entitled, "Sustaining Organizational Reforms Through ICT". The day wrapped up with a synthesis of the learning sessions and concluded with the CES March. The CES CiRCLE Forum provides the platform for learning innovative management ideas from experts as well as obtaining first‐hand information on best organizational personal practices from public service exemplars.

Great executives know how to loosen it up a bit and keep up with life’s rhythm. CES CiRCLE Forum learners actively take part in the energizer led by resource speaker Dr. Enrique Tayag.

T he Career Executive Service Board (CESB), in partnership with the Cultural Center of the

Philippines (CCP), successfully gathered thirty‐nine (39)

CESOs and Third Level Eligibles in “Art in the Workplace,”

the third conduct of the CES Club last July 29, 2015 at the

Silangan Hall, CCP Complex, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City.

According to Ms. Carmencita J. Bernardo, CCP

Department Manager for Cultural Exchange, “Art in the

Workplace” was conceived in 2012 to showcase the

artistic excellence of the Filipino artists such as the

Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and Philippine Madrigal

Singers. It is aimed at encouraging public servants in local

and national levels to support and promote Philippine art

and culture. It also aspires to advocate the vital role that

art plays in national and community development. Since

its creation, “Art in the Workplace” has already mounted

ten (10) presentations for various government agencies

such as the Department of Budget and Management

(DBM) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC).

Atty. Giselle G. Durana, OIC‐Director III of CESB, formally

opened the program by quoting Linda Naiman, founder of

Creativity at Work: “Creativity is a function of leadership.

It requires navigating unchartered territories and having

the courage to face adversity to bring your vision into

fruition.”

Tanghalang Pilipino’s artistic director and a renowned

actor, Mr. Fernando Josef, briefly enlightened the

audience with a background of the play entitled “Walang

Kukurap”. According to him, it is a story depicting the

effect of political dynasties on the smallest unit of the

society: the family. He explained that the play is a product

of an intensive community research and portrays reality. It

was followed by the presentation of some of the play’s

excerpts.

POURING THEIR HE(ARTS) OUT. “Tanghalang Pilipino” (L) after a deep and fascinating performance of “Walang Kukurap”, and Mr. Ben‐Ali B. Decampong of DENR‐Lanao del Norte sharing his insights on social change with Ms. Mae Paner a.k.a. Juana Change (R).

“Art, besides being a form of self‐expression of an artist, can be seen as a means of communication, a tool to raise

public awareness, or a trigger to bring changes in society.” ‐Eleanor‐Jayne Brown

CES News 3rd Quarter 2015

Assistant Secretary Vilma B. Cabrera of the Department of Social Work and Development (DSWD) found the play very

realistic and timely. She suggested that the play may be performed in areas with existing political dynasties, and that she is

looking forward to inviting Tanghalang Pilipino to DSWD. “The performance reminded us that there still are civil servants

who aim to correct malpractices in the system and we should strive to do the same,” added Regional Director Julius Caesar

V. Sicat of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) ‐ CAR.

The second session with Ms. Mae Paner, also known as “Juana Change”, was fondly received by the participants as she

shared stories from her experiences as an advertising director and as a political critic. She explained how she used the

power of art as a medium in sending powerful messages. Ms. Paner stressed that in order to influence change, one must

have the courage to speak out criticisms with affirmation

and creativity. She added that in order to successfully do

so, one must be in touch with his/her best self.

“Since advocating changes must be gradual and cannot

be done abruptly, I suggest we should start in our

grassroots. We should have these kinds of talks in the

educational level as they may help contribute to the

change we are aiming for our society,” said Mr.

CESB OIC‐Director III, Atty. Giselle G. Durana, congratulates “Tanghalang Pilipino” and their artistic Director Mr. Fernando Josef for an eloquent performance (upper photo) while Ms. Mae Paner a.k.a. Juana Change poses with the CES Club participants and CESB Secretariat after giving a lecture about the importance and influence of art as a tool for social transformation.

Ben‐Ali B. Decampong, Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer of the Department of Environment and

Natural Resources (DENR) ‐ Lanao del Norte.

It would be easy for some people to dismiss art as unnecessary and a waste of money and resources. But art is a vital tool

for social development. Art exposes and helps resolve issues of social justice. And for the participants of this CES Club

session, art inspired them to action.

168 aspirants battle with September 2015 nationwide CES WE

O ne hundred sixty‐eight (168) testees took the three‐hour Written Examination (CES WE) which was held simultaneously in Quezon, Cebu, and Davao cities on September 6, 2015.

The said half‐day examination was done synchronously nationwide in three testing centers ‐ at the University of the Philippines‐National College of Public Administration and Governance (UP‐NCPAG) in Quezon City with 95 examinees; University of San Carlos (USC) in Cebu City with 44 examinees; and San Pedro College (SPC) with 29 examinees in Davao City. Twenty‐seven test‐takers failed to show up at the testing centers. The exam covered error recognition, reading comprehension, data interpretation, logical reasoning, information, management concepts and problems, and essay. "I found the exam surprisingly suited not only for managers but also for everyone. It was a good gauge of common sense knowledge of managers. The exam was fair but difficult," said David Sih, 32, a technical assistant from the Office of the President's Legal Affairs Office. Likewise, Director IV Alberto Kimpo, 40, of the General Administration Office under the Office of Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa said: "It appears to be a true test of one's knowledge and one's abilities. It's a good measure of who should make it to the next stages of the process." "It's a matter of answering questions in a short limited time," remarked a local government unit officer (name withheld upon request), 51, from San Jose del Monte, Bulacan. A female OIC branch manager, 55, who has been with the GSIS for 23 years, found the exam an "enjoyable, but tiring battle" for three hours. Marcelo Polig, 38, an assistant regional director of training of the PNP in Region I said, "The exam was very hard, especially in reading comprehension due to long paragraphs. It had a limited time frame." "The examination was not the type and the degree of difficulty that gave pressures to the examinees but the amount of time given to us because of our ages. We're not young any more to be as fast as we used to be," laughingly commented a female supervisor from the Department of Education. Results of the September 6, 2015 CES WE will be made known two months after the test's date. All examinees will be informed of their exam ratings via e‐mail, regular mail or posting in the CESB website. The CES WE is scheduled every three months. The next testing date will be conducted on December 6, 2015, Sunday, nationwide and the deadline for filing of application is on November 5, Thursday.

A total of fifty‐three (53) test‐takers from different government agencies hurdled the Special CES Written Examinations (CES WE) held last August 22 at Don Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) in Cabambangan, Bacolor, Pam‐

panga and August 27 at Eurotel Hotel, North EDSA, Quezon City, respectively. Thirteen (13) out of 20 examinees (or 65%) passed the August 22 Special CES WE for Region III officials with Ms. Lora L. Yusi (88.14% rating) topping the list of aspiring candidates. Commission on Higher Education (CHED)‐Region III's chief education program specialist, Lora L. Yusi, a first‐time CES WE examinee, completed her Bachelor of Arts degree, major in Economics in 1989 at the University of the Philippines‐San Fernando in Pampanga and Master of Management degree at the University of the Philippines‐Diliman in Quezon City in 1997.

Meanwhile, sixteen (16) out of 33 examinees (or 48.48%) passed the August 27 Special CES

WE, with Undersecretary Felix Perry A. Villanueva (88.77% rating) topping the list of aspiring candidates. DAR Usec for Finance, Planning and Administration Felix Perry A. Villanueva, a first‐time CES WE examinee, com‐pleted his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accountancy (BSBAA) and Master in Business Admini‐stration (MBA) degrees at the University of the Philippines in Quezon City in 1984 and 1997, respectively. He earned his Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) degree in 2010 at De La Salle University‐Manila. In 1984, he passed the CPA licensure examination.
