served as one of the guest speakers

in the Executive Management

Training Program held last July 4,

2011 at the Teachers Camp in

Speaking before educators and

education executives, Allones dis-

cussed the evolution of the Philip-

pine Career Executive Service

tence, excellence, and service.

Quoting former CESB Executive

Director and a known CES paragon,

Jose P. De Jesus, Allones affirmed

elitism is grounded on meritoc-

racy.” According to Allones,

“CESOs are considered as cream of

nity to promote the Taas Noo,

movement which are the significant

roles of CESOs in times of change

and transition.

news on CESB’s efforts to further

Board (CESB) has successfully

conducted the 10th Session of the

Integrated Gabay ng Paglilingkod

Angeles City, Pampanga from July

7 – 15, 2011.

Attended by a total of 59 execu-

tives, GABAY, which is the third

and last course under the CESB’s

Executive Leadership Program

(ELP), aims to address the execu-

tives’ needs to remain effective on

the job and have a better apprecia-

tion of the demands and challenges

that they have to face as managers

and leaders. A nine-day residential,

intensive course - GABAY has 3

basic modules: Planning and Orga-

nizing for Greater Impact (Module

I), Academy of ICT Essentials for

Government Leaders (Module II),

and Community/Organizational

Attachment Module (COAM)

The COAM considered as the

terminal learning integration course

work for integrating the knowledge,

skills, lessons and experiences

learned from the previous modules.

In this session, the COAM featured

the local government unit of San

Fernando City, Pampanga, as a best

practice “laboratory” organization

and the Office of Strategy Manage-

ment (OSM).

Mayor Oscar Rodriguez graced

the opening session and presented a

wide-range of discussion on the

PGS --- the management tool which

the city government adopted in

improving its governance. The

presentation also highlighted the

partnership between the govern-

ment and the private sector with

the creation of the Multi-Sectoral

Governance Council (MSGC). The

occasion provided an opportunity

for the GABAY participants to

interact with the city government

officials and private sector repre-

sentatives who sit in the different

committees of the MSGC.

The GABAY participants ex-

perienced a brief immersion on the

different projects showcasing the

best practices which earned a

number of awards for the City

group of participants presented

their report to the three-man

team panel of reactors, namely:

CESB conducts FGD on Competency Profiling and Portfolio Assessment

Resource managers and champions

recommended the preparation of a

rubric of the four-stage eligibility

process in order to identify the

areas being assessed in each stage,

and the responsibility of the asses-

sor, profiler, interviewer and valida-

tor. It was also suggested to use the

competency dimensions reflected

in the CES WE since the purpose

of the portfolio assessment is to

measure, at a glance, whether the

candidate is ready to proceed to the

next stage of the examination

process, which is the Assessment

Center.

StratCon... �4

On the discussion of the Portfo-

lio Assessment which allows an

applicant for CES eligibility to un-

dergo an assessment of his/ her ex-

ecutive qualifications within the

context of the CES Core Compe-

tency Framework, the participants

suggested that the behavioral indi-

cator goal setting in the Assessment

Guide must include description of

the positive impact of the plan. The

group also deemed it necessary to

study the inclusion of good govern-

ance principles in Competency VI:

Driving Performance for Integrity

and Service.

Superintendent, Philippine Military

Academy (PMA); Dir. Yolanda

Strategic Conversation series is

an activity of the CESB which

aims to provide forum to discuss

various issues in the CES and

touch base with the CES officials in

the field. It is conducted in

cooperation with the various

regional CES associations.

The Career Executive Service

Board (CESB) conducted a focus

group discussion (FGD) on July 11,

2011 at the CESB Training Room

to discuss the Competency Profil-

ing and Portfolio Assessment as

an alternative to the CES Written

Examination (CES WE) — the

first of the four-stage of the CES

eligibility examination process.

During the FGD, the Human

�1 CESB meets DepEd RDs The CESB, she said, is open to

accrediting the Superintendent’s

Examination subject to an analysis

of the coverage of the said exami-

nation and the dimensions being

looked at. “We want to check

whether they are comparable if not

the same,” she added.

ED Allones also discussed the

Portfolio Assessment which allows

an applicant for CES eligibility to

undergo an assessment of his/ her

executive qualifications within the

context of the CES Core Compe-

tency Framework. She ended her

talk by giving assurance that

the CESB remains to be a

committed partner of DepEd in

developing the competencies of

DepEd officials.

Department of Science and Technology (DOST)- Region II head Urdujah A.

Tejada, CESO III, was awarded the GAWAD CES in 2010 for successfully

implementing community-based projects that contributed to the furtherance of

sustainable development programs in the region.

Director Tejada’s community-based aquaculture projects addressed the need to improve the

production capacity in the entire region and has resulted to the establishment of 10 hatcheries, 65

grow-out ponds, 2 fish feed mills and a training center for fish-based products. This resulted to

employment generation and a substantial increase in the income of small fisher folks.

Her efforts to revive the peanut industry in the region have likewise successfully expanded its

production; particularly in Jones, Isabela and resulted to the establishment of support systems for the

emerging industry for processed peanuts. She was also cited for the improvement of coconut-based

products and the conversion of coco wastes into useful materials.

Tejada is also known for initiating HATAW (Harnessing Appropriate Technologies to Assist Women)

that helped produce at least 25 successful women entrepreneurs in the area. She also organized women

to make them more productive members of the community.

Director Tejada is indeed an exemplary CESO whose work performance and commitment to public

service is worthy of recognition.

A recognized agricultural policy expert and a luminary in the research and

development (R&D) community, Dr. Patricio S. Faylon, CESO II, is the Executive

Director of the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources,

Research and Development (PCARRD).

Dr. Faylon is credited for successfully spearheading PCARRD’s bid for ISO

certification, enabling PCCARD to be among the first DOST agencies to have been granted with ISO

9001:2000 certification and ISO 9001:2008 recertification. Under his stewardship, the Council was also

conferred with the Philippine Quality Award (PQA) Level 1 (Commitment to Quality Management) -- the

highest level of national recognition for exemplary organizational performance.

Faylon was successful in forging linkages with international and local organizations enabling him to

double the agency’s finances in 2008 to 2009. His success in resource generation allowed the Council to

have a continued funding allocation for the building of Farmers’ Information and Technology Services

(FITS) centers, which has helped thousands of farmers to now have easy access to the internet and to

publications for information on agricultural processes. Recognizing its benefits, former President Gloria

Macapagal-Arroyo signed Executive Order 801 in 2009 which paved the way for the national rollout of

the program.

In 2010, he added another feather to his cap when he was conferred with the 2010 GAWAD CES

award in recognition of his accomplishments.
