Career service exam set on March 29
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has set the first Career Service Examination-Paper and Pencil Test (CSE-PPT) professional and sub-professional levels for 2009 on March 29.
The CSE-PPT is open to Filipinos who are 18 years of age on the date of filing of application and of good moral character.

On the other hand, applicants with pending administrative and/or criminal cases may take the examination and will be conferred the eligibility if they successfully pass the same. However, this is without prejudice to the outcome of their pending cases. If they are found guilty of grave offenses, their eligibility shall be forfeited based on the penalties stated in the decision and pursuant to Section 58 (a) of the Uniform Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service and CSC Resolution No. 010659, dated March 22, 2001.
