Learning That Goes Beyond the Seminar Room
OZAMIZ CITY - The fourth and final session of Ozamiz City’s Four-Module Training Seminar gave regular and coterminous employees another opportunity to sharpen skills they can bring into everyday government work. The session covered Customer Service Relations, Values Formation, the Anti-Red Tape Act or RA 11032, and the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards under RA 6713. These subjects connect classroom discussion with situations employees may encounter when assisting residents, handling responsibilities, and navigating government procedures. The approach also fits the Civil Service Commission’s 2026 emphasis on a people-centered and values-driven public sector, where professional growth is closely connected with meaningful service.
A Health Break With a Purpose
The September 29 activities also made room for something employees cannot leave behind at the office: their health. The City Health Office provided medical check-ups and medicines, while employees could register for PhilHealth YAKAP and participate in a blood donation drive at the City Mayor’s Office Permit Division. Instead of treating wellness as a separate concern, the activity placed basic health support alongside professional development during the anniversary observance. That combination reflects the wider direction of the 126th PCSA, which includes employee wellness among the areas government agencies are encouraged to strengthen throughout the celebration.
Better Public Service Starts With Prepared People
There is a quiet message in bringing training and wellness together: government service depends on the people doing the work. Ozamiz’s September 29 activities gave employees space to learn about service standards while also accessing practical health assistance, creating a day that addressed both professional responsibilities and personal needs. The local celebration follows Ozamiz’s wider 126th PCSA activities, which began earlier in September with government employees and personnel from national agencies participating in the city’s observance. Rather than ending with a ceremonial moment, the final training session offered employees something they could carry back to their offices—new knowledge, renewed awareness, and greater attention to their own well-being.
