MESSAGE FOR CIVIL SERVICE MONTH
September 19, 2025
Assalamu Alaykum!
This September, we celebrate the 125th Anniversary of the Philippine Civil Service.
For over a century, the spirit of Civil Service has remained steadfast: to serve with integrity, compassion for our fellow Filipinos, and love for our country.
The power of public service lies in the hands of every civil servant. We are entrusted with a unique responsibility to the Filipino people, where our actions, big or small, directly shape lives. Our diligence and accountability are not just part of our roles-they are the foundation of a government that truly serves its citizens.
I commend the men and women of the Civil Service Commission for their commitment to enhancing morale by recognizing and praising public servants. Their sacrifices in the name of public service inspire us and provide a powerful validation of hard work and unwavering dedication to the community.
As we celebrate Civil Service Month, let us reaffirm our commitment to be part of a high-performing, competent, and credible civil service. Let us champion modern and efficient methods of delivering public service while fiercely upholding integrity, excellence, and dignity in public office.
Maligayang Buwan ng Serbisyo Sibil!
Mahalin natin ang Pilipinas — para sa Diyos, sa Bayan, at bawat Pamilyang Pilipino.
Shukran.
SARA Z. DUTERTE
Vice President of the Philippines
