Special Eligibilities

Published: 24 May 2021

Anchored on Sec. 3 and Sec. 6, Rule II of the Omnibus Rules Implementing Book V of Executive Order No. 292 (The Revised Administrative Code of 1987), an applicant for any type of eligibility granted under special laws and CSC issuances must meet the following basic qualifications:

A. Citizen of the Republic of the Philippines;

B. At least 18 years of age at the time of application;

C. Has not been found guilty of crime involving moral turpitude or of infamous, disgraceful or immoral conduct, dishonesty, drunkenness or addiction to drugs;

D. Has not been previously found guilty of offenses relative to, or in connection with the conduct of a civil service examination; and

E. Has not been dismissed from the service for cause.

The career service examination is not the be-all and end-all of acquiring civil service eligibility. Do you know that the CSC also grants eligibilities other than the Career Service Professional and Sub-Professional eligibilities? You can acquire a civil service eligibility even without taking the Career Service Examination. The CSC for some time now has been granting eleven (11) different eligibilities under special laws to qualified individuals. You may be qualified for the grant of any of these eligibilities.
