LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN—Two educators from Alaminos City National High School were cited as among the country’s outstanding government workers.
In two separate resolutions authored by the 1st District Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Members Apolonia DG. Bacay, Napoleon C. Fontelera, Jr., and Arthur C. Celeste, Jr., and approved on February 19, Dr. Raquel R. Rivera and Mr. Kris Christopher C. Dela Cruz, both Master Teachers I of the said school, were commended.
The awards—Outstanding Government Worker of 2023 and Presidential Medal of Merit—were bestowed in a ceremony held last February 14 at the Malacanang Palace as a fitting tribute for their remarkable achievements through unwavering dedication, exemplary service, and extraordinary contributions in the field of education.
Dr. Rivera and Mr. Dela Cruz are two of the five educators who were honored and won the 2023 Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) for their achievements that have potential benefits for the country.
“The Honor Awards Program (HAP) under the Civil Service Commission grants the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award to those who have made exceptional contributions through innovative ideas or impactful actions of national significance, particularly in the areas of public interest, security, and patrimony,” the resolution stated.
The CSC administers a yearly nationwide search for outstanding government workers through its Honor Awards Program to recognize government officials and employees who have displayed outstanding work performance and ethical behavior.
