All government officials and employees are strictly prohibited from engaging in any form of gambling during office hours, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) warned.

In an advisory released yesterday, the CSC emphasized that the prohibition covers online gambling, mobile games with betting elements, and participating in land-based gambling establishments—whether inside or outside government premises, and regardless of whether the platform used is legal or licensed.

Any act of gambling in the workplace, whether physical or virtual, may be deemed conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and could result in administrative sanctions under existing civil service rules and regulations.

CSC Chairperson Marilyn B. Yap reminded all civil servants, “Let us all do our part in promoting ethical conduct and professionalism in the civil service. The CSC is studying further regulatory measures and supports legislative initiatives toward establishing a comprehensive ban on gambling activities among government personnel during work hours.”

Government agencies have also been encouraged to adopt internal guidelines and monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance and prevent practices that may erode public trust.

Over 8,000 vacancies in 254 government agencies are up for grabs at the 2025 Government Job Fair happening on 2–5 September across 15 regional venues nationwide, and on 9 September, specifically in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

Organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the job fair offers plantilla and non-plantilla positions in national agencies, local governments, government-owned and -controlled corporations, and state colleges and universities. 

The Civil Service Commission (CSC) announced that numerous public and private sector partners are offering special deals on accommodations, food and beverages, wellness, recreation, travel, retail, and more.

“The PCSA honors over two million civil servants across various sectors. These special treats are a token of the government’s gratitude for 125 years of unwavering puso, dangal, at galing para sa bayan,” said CSC Chairperson Marilyn B. Yap.

Jobseekers, fresh graduates, and career shifters are invited to take part in the 2025 CSC Government Job Fair on 1 to 5 September across 16 CSC Regional Offices nationwide (except for CSC Cordillera Administrative Region which will be held on 9 September).

Organized in celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the nationwide job fair calls for individuals seeking to join the public sector to apply for positions in national government agencies, local government units, government-owned and controlled corporations, and state universities and colleges.

In celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), government employees across the country will join a nationwide Tree Growing Activity this September, planting and nurturing nearly 6,000 trees in designated locations.

Spearheaded by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the initiative emphasizes growing trees from planting to maturity, creating lasting oxygen sanctuaries that promote clean air, climate resilience, and public well-being.
