Legazpi City — The Civil Service Commission in Bicol (CSC-5) has opened applications for the 2025 career service examination for both professional and subprofessional levels through the Civil Service Commission computerized examination (CSC-Comex).

In an interview on Tuesday, CSC-5 Director Daisy Punzalan-Bragais announced that the examinations will be conducted every Tuesday and Thursday from March 11 to June 10 at the CSC regional office in Rawis, Legazpi City.

“The system automates and integrates each step in the administration of the computerized examination, making the process faster, easier, and more efficient than the traditional Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) system,” she said.

Schedules may still change depending on announcements, holidays, or office activities.

The CSC Bicol reminded applicants of the step-by-step process for securing an examination slot, which can be secured through their website at https://comex.csc5.online.

Applicants must pay the examination fee of P680 at any CSC field office in the Bicol Region or the regional office.

After payment, a scanned copy of the official receipt as well as the application for a seat must be submitted through the website.

After receiving an email on the evaluation results of their application, applicants can register for a comex account at comex.csc.gov.ph.

Applicants are advised to arrive at the CSC regional office on the day of the examination no later than 8:30 a.m.

To be eligible for the examination, an applicant must be a Filipino citizen, at least 18 years old on the application filing date, with good moral character; not have been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, dishonesty, or examination irregularity; not have been dishonorably discharged from the military or dismissed from a government position; and not have taken the same level of the Career Service Examination within three months of the exam date.

Bragais said the results of the comex will be released within a few hours or a day after the examination.

For 2024, the CSC recorded 92 comex passers in the region.
