The Civil Service Commission (CSC) is inviting the public to submit feedback on the 40 national semi-finalists for this year’s Gawad Lingkod Bayan ng Pangulo and Gawad Pagasa awards.
CSC Chairperson Marilyn B. Yap said public participation is vital in identifying civil servants who have made a meaningful impact on government service. “If you have encountered them, were served by them, or if their projects and programs changed your life, send your feedback—positive or negative—until 21 July 2025,” Yap urged.
The Gawad Lingkod Bayan ng Pangulo honors individuals and groups whose exceptional contributions have had a nationwide impact on public interest, security, or national patrimony. This year’s semi-finalists include 15 individuals and five groups, ranging from scientists and medical professionals to educators and local government officials.
Meanwhile, 14 individuals and six groups have been shortlisted for the Gawad Pagasa, which recognizes outstanding contributions that benefit more than one government department. Nominees include teachers, administrators, agricultural specialists, and inter-agency teams involved in innovation, disaster response, and public health.
Public comments on the semi-finalists can be submitted online at bit.ly/HAPNationalSemi-finalistsFeedback until July 21. According to the CSC, these insights will help determine the most deserving recipients who best embody the values of excellence and integrity in public service.
