A Testament for Consistent Public Service Excellence…

SDO of CSFP Eyes for SILVER PRIME-HRM

  In its unwavering commitment as champion of relevant public service excellence, the Schools Division of City of San Fernando, strives on achieving SILVER PRIME-HRM certification, a prestigious designation which signifies the SDO's dedication to an institutionalized meritocracy and enhanced human resource management practices, through its benchmarking endeavor at DA- PhilRice Nueva Ecija on January 24, 2025.

  With the utmost goal of ensuring a more empowered and efficient workforce at the SDO of CSFP, ultimately enhancing the quality of education and public service for the community, the SDO core team was inspired and headed by OIC-Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Shirley B. Zipagan, CESO VI, and Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Jerry Dimla Cruz, DEM, CESO VI, both regarded as transformative leaders and advocates of quality education.

  During the activity, the powerhouse team of PhilRice engaged the Division core team with a brief discussion of the history of the agency and an enjoyable immersion tour in the different sections and laboratories where specific personnel perform their distinct functions, all working to ensure advancement of rice research for prosperous rice communities toward sufficient and affordable rice for all. Afterwards, select PhilRice key personnel explicitly discussed the institution’s journey in the Four Pillars of PRIME-HRM. Finally, some questions and clarifications were addressed at the end of the presentations.

   As a message of gratitude and congratulatory remarks to the agency, Dr. Cruz, on behalf of Dr. Zipagan, used the acronym PHILRICE to express admiration for the institution’s remarkable achievements. He also commended the institution for their well-deserved recognition and expressed words of appreciation and gratitude for graciously sharing their invaluable journey and best practices.

   According to him, all these will serve as inspiration and guide in the Division’s pursuit of service excellence because in the Schools Division of the City of San Fernando, excellence is not just a goal—it is a shared commitment and a way of life.
