Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 18) — The Civil Service Commission said there would be no written service exams this year due to the COVID-19 crisis.
In a statement released on Thursday, the CSC said the tests were canceled because the implementation of public health standards made it difficult to conduct paper-and-pen tests.
The following civil service exams using the said method were canceled:
– Fire Officer Examination, Penology Officer Examination, Basic Competency on Local Treasury Examination scheduled on 21 June 2020
– Career Service Examination (CSE) PPT (Professional and Subprofessional Levels) scheduled on 9 August 2020
– Intermediate Competency on Local Treasury Examination, Pre-Employment Test, Promotional Test, Ethics-Oriented Personality Test scheduled on 11 October 2020.
The CSC added the Professional and Subprofessional CSE-PPT which was originally scheduled on March 15, will be reset to 2021. That test was supposed to be taken by 293,845 people nationwide. The CSC said it would issue a separate advisory on the matter.
