SC Major Final Outputs and Performance Indicators
for the Results-Based Performance Management System (RBPMS)
and Performance-Based Incentive System (PBIS)
‘A. Background
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) promotes morale, efficiency, integrity,
responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the Civil Service. It adopts measures to
strengthen the merit and rewards system, integrates all human resources development
programs for all level and ranks, and institutionalizes a management climate conducive
to public accountability. The Philippine Constitution of 1935 firmly established the merit
system as the basis for employment in government. In 1975, the Civil Service Decree of
the Philippines (PD 807) redefined the role of the Commission as the central personnel
agency of the government. Under Executive Order No. 292 in 1987, the right of
government employees to self-organization and collective negotiations under the
framework of the 1987 Constitution came into being. Recently, under Republic Act 9485,
all offices and agencies providing frontline services shall be subjected to a Report Card
Survey to be initiated by the Civil Service Commission to obtain feedback on how
provisions in the Citizen's Charter are being followed and how agencies are performing
B. CSC Strategic and Operational Alignment with the Philippine Development Plan (PDP)
‘The Commission's MFOs ate also aligned with the Philippine Development Plan’s Key
Result Areas, particularly on “Transparent, Accountable, and Participatory Governance”
under the Good Governance and Anti-Corruption Cluster and “Just and Lasting Peace
and the Rule of Law “ under the Security, Justice and Peace Cluster. The MFOs are
likewise in alignment with the POP sector/sub-sector goals on improving public service
delivery and increased responsiveness of NGAs, GOCCs, and LGUs through the Anti-Red
‘Tape interventions, namely the Report Card Survey (RCS) under Republic Act 9485, the
Service Delivery Excellence Program (SDEP), and the ARTA Watch. :
C._ CSC Major Final Outputs (MFOs) and Performance Indicators (PIs) for the RBPMS-PBB
‘The CSC's Major Final Outputs (MFO) are the goods or services it is mandated to
primarily deliver to the bureaucracy and the general public external clients through the
implementation of programs, activities and projects (OPIF Guide, 2012). The following
performance indicators (Pls) are a characteristic of performance (quantity, quality,
timeliness, or cost) which will be measured to illustrate the standard of performance by
which the CSC has delivered its MFOs. The Pls for each MFO capture the essential
characteristics of the MFOs delivered to clients and end-beneficiaries. To realize this, the
MFOs should be stable in their specification from one period to the next, with Pls that
will generate a time series of data that is robust, reliable, and can be used as the
foundation for performance measurement and attribution analysis in respect of
correlating MFO delivery to impact on sector/societal outcomes.

The OPIF Guide states that “any activity, process, or function which contributes to or
supports the achievement of the department’s/agency’s mandate is classified as
Operations.” CSC’s Operations are activities directed at fulfilling the CSC’s mandates.
‘These include the regulatory, quasi-judicial, and other developmental goods and services
delivered for the benefit of the bureaucracy and the general public.
MFO No. 1 or the CSC's Legal Services is an MFO that mainly consists of its exercise of
quasi-judicial powers as a constitutional body. It includes adjudicating administrative
disciplinary and non-disciplinary cases, the formulation of opinions and rulings, and the
rendering of legal counseling. Investigation, litigation, legal research, as well as training
form part of the services provided for by primarily by the Commission through the Office
for Legal Affairs and all its Regional Offices.

MFO No. 2 on Examinations and Appointments Services pertains to the critical mandate
of the CSC in developing, enhancing, controlling, supervising and coordinating pertinent
schemes in the granting of civil service eligibility such as, but not limited to,
administration of civil service examinations and conferment of civil service eligibilities,
through other modes/special laws. It also takes charge of processing and/or reviewing,

MFO No. 3 on Personnel Policies and Standards Services aligns with the Philippine
Development Plan’s intention to rebuild the people's trust in government and to
strengthen democratic institutions. Relative to these, CSC is mandated to administer the
government-wide Honor Awards Program and Public Assistance/Client Relations
Program. As mandated by EO 180, the CSC also ensures the development of responsible
public sector unionism and responsive management by developing policies, standards,
regulations, and programs on employee-management relations in the public sector. CSC
also formulates and periodically reviews career systems and standards within the
context of the merit and rewards policies of the various closed and open career systems.

‘examinations would be “Number of examination applications processed. An alternative qualitative output KPI
{or examinees would be Passing Rate (lag). Alternative KPis are being evaluated and shal be enrolled if
‘deemed appropriate in the future.

MFO No. 4 on Human Resource Development Services ~ This reflects the direction of
the CSC to achieve high quality public service by contributing to the development of
competent and credible civil servants. It also includes efforts to help enhance workforce
productivity by helping increase harmony, morale and wellness in the workplace. As
such, the Commission, through the Civil Service Institute and the Regional Offices,
develops and conducts training programs, formulates, evaluates, and administers
human resources development programs and service-wide scholarships. This MFO is
mainly delivered by the Civil Service institute and all the Regional Offices.

MFO No. 5 on Personnel Discipline and Accountability Enhancement Services - Through
RA 9485, the CSC implements the RCS in coordination with other public sector
organizations and is a priority intervention since the POP Results Matrices have targeted
an increase in the number of agencies with Very Satisfactory (VS) Ratings in the ARTA
RCS. CSC’s oversight functions enable it to work out and enforce policies, standards,
rules and regulations on discipline and accountability, as well as evaluate personnel
programs, and inspect and audit personnel activities. The CSC takes off on the Strategic
Performance Management System (SPM) as a crucial element in reviewing, enhancing,
‘monitoring and concretely linking and aligning organizational, unit, and individual
performance standards and systems. MFO No. § is an output contributed by the Civil
Service Institute, Regional Offices, and the Office for Strategy Management.

Page 3of 4Support to Operations are activities that provide technical and substantive support to
the operations and projects of the department/agency. These are activities which
contribute to or enhance the delivery of services but which by themselves do not
produce the MFOs. Funds provided under the STO classification are also overhead
expenses, and therefore indirect costs of delivering the department's/agency's MFOs
(OPIF Guide, 2012). The units of the CSC responsible for supporting operations would be
the Office for Strategy Management, the Public Assistance and Information Office and
the Internal Audit Services. In compliance with the ARTA and to gauge the performance
of its frontline services, the CSC also goes through the RCS on an annual basis via third
party providers and in partnership with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). This PI focuses
on the Commission’s implementation of Public Assistance and Client Relations Program
such as the Mamamayan Muna Program Action Centers, the TEXTCSC Program, and all
the other frontline services. The enactment and implementation of Executive Order No.
605 or the adoption of Quality Management Systems in all agencies of government has.
pushed the CSC to undertake a major organizational process improvement by enhancing,
and certifying its core business processes, namely Examination, Legal, and
Appointments, under ISO 9001:2000 standards.
