SM Supermalls and CSC Celebrate 125 Years of Philippine Civil Service with Nationwide Job Fairs
In celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), SM Supermalls, in partnership with the Civil Service Commission (CSC), rolled out a series of nationwide job fairs designed to connect Filipinos with meaningful careers in public service. The collaboration highlights the enduring legacy of the Philippine civil service and its critical role in nation-building.
For many attendees, the job fairs were more than recruitment events—they were opportunities to pursue purpose-driven careers that contribute directly to the welfare of the Filipino people.
"I am happy that they came up with a job fair for government agencies. Many still want to serve and work for our government," shared jobseeker Ken Gonzaga, who submitted applications for several positions during the event at SM City North EDSA.
Public Service Careers Within Reach
The Civil Service Anniversary Job Fairs opened doors to thousands of vacancies across national government agencies, local government units (LGUs), government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs), and state universities and colleges (SUCs).
By hosting these fairs inside malls, CSC and SM Supermalls made the process of exploring career opportunities in public service more accessible, inclusive, and convenient for Filipinos from all walks of life. Applicants were also given briefings on available positions, ensuring they understood the unique impact of careers in government service.
"Our partnership with SM Supermalls makes it easier for Filipinos to explore careers in public service—opportunities that go beyond personal growth and contribute to the progress of our communities and the nation. The venue is well-organized, convenient, and accessible for jobseekers," said Mary Grace Dugay, Director III of the Civil Service Commission.
More Than Jobs: Building a Nation of Servants
While job placement was a primary goal, the initiative underscored a bigger message: public service is a calling. The job fairs highlighted the essential role of civil servants in driving social progress, inspiring a new generation of Filipinos to dedicate their skills and talents to building stronger communities.
"SM is honored to celebrate 125 years of Philippine Civil Service by opening our malls as venues where Filipinos can discover not just jobs, but meaningful careers in public service," said SM Supermalls President Steven Tan. "By working hand-in-hand with CSC and our government partners, we continue to support an empowered citizenry and sustainable nation-building."
For fresh graduates like Joanne Moriel, the event was an eye-opener. "Especially with what’s happening now in the country, I want to be part of the public sector to be able to help make a difference," she shared.
