Search on for outstanding public officials, employees

THE Civil Service Commission has started its search for the 2012 outstanding public officials and employees.

The search recognizes civil servants who have shown excellence through their innovations and who upheld integrity in the carrying out of their duties despite odds and temptations, like bribery.

The Dangal ng Bayan awardees will receive a trophy designed by national artist for sculpture Napoleon Abueva and P200,000, among others.
