TO : ALL EMPLOYEES
NFA La Union Branch Office

FROM : The ACTING BRANCH MANAGER

It is observed that despite of earlier issuances regarding the wearing of the office
uniform, there are still some who are not yet wearing the uniforms properly. In order
therefore that we will have a consistent implementation and understanding of the
proper dress code, the following provisions of CSC Memorandum Circular No. 19,
series of 2020, are hereby reiterated:

“2. Official Attire. The “Filipiniana” and the respective office

uniforms as prescribed by the different government agencies / offices shall
be the official attire of all government officials and employees, which shall
be worn in accordance with their assigned schedule, as hereinbelow
stated:

Monday “Filipiniana” Attire

Tuesday Office Uniform for Tuesday
Wednesday Office Uniform for Wednesday
Thursday Office Uniform for Thursday
Friday Office Uniform for Friday, if any;
If there is none, Appropriate Business Attire

Since we are no longer prescribed to wear “Filipiniana” Attire during Monday, the
prescribed office uniform for Monday shall be worn.

3. Appropriate Attire. On those days when there are no prescribed

office uniform for the day, employees shall be dressed in appropriate
business attire.

The wearing of “maong” pants, although generally prohibited, may be

considered as appropriate attire when paired with collared polo / shirt (for
male employees), or any appropriate blouse or shirt (for female
employees).
