Gov’t workers to observe National Government Employees Week
All government officials and employees are enjoined to observe and participate in the celebration of the National Government Employees’ Week (NGEW) slated on November 30 to December 6, this year.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, in her Memorandum Circular No. 185, enjoined all government officials and employees including those in government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), government financial institutions (GFI) and state universities and colleges, as well as local government units and government employees organization to “observe and participate in appropriate activities for a meaningful observance and celebration of NGEW in coordination with other concerned agencies.”
Memorandum Circular No. 185 signed by Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita, by authority of the President, last November 4, 2009, aimed to give recognition to “the invaluable services rendered by deserving government employees and to underscore their contribution to nation building”.
The first week of December has been declared as NGEW in the country pursuant to Proclamation No. 1130, dated November 11, 1997.
“Paglingap sa Kalikasan Tungkulin ng Bawa’t Kawani ng Pamahalaan” is the theme of this year’s celebration. (PIA)
