CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION (CSC) SUSPENDS CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION ON 15 MARCH 2020

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation in the Philippines, and pursuant to Proclamation No. 922 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte declaring a State of Public Health Emergency in the country, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) has recently announced the suspension of the Civil Service Examination originally scheduled on Sunday, March 15, 2020. 

The CSC has yet to announce a new schedule. 

The suspension covers the Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) for both Professional and Subprofessional Levels. There are 253,811 who are supposed to take the Professional Level exam while 41,900 will take the Subprofessional Level exam.

The CSC said the suspension was necessary "as a preemptive health measure to mitigate the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases and to support the national and local government units in undertaking appropriate response and measures in a timely manner to curtail and eliminate the COVID-19 threat."
