Policy to Professionalize the Civil Service (CSC MC 42, S. 1991)

June 16, 1995 REVENUE MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 24-95 SUBJECT : Policy to Professionalize the Civil Service (CSC MC 42, S. 1991) TO : All Revenue Officials and Employees and Others Concerned For the information and guidance of all revenue officials and employees, quoted hereunder is a letter from the Commissioner, Civil Service Commission dated June 6, 1995. "This refers to your letter dated March 30, 1995 requesting for exemption from the masteral degree requirement under CSC Memorandum Circular No. 42, s. 1991, particularly for the position of Chief Revenue Officer IV (SG-24). It is represented that the Revised Staffing Pattern of that Bureau was only approved by the Department of Budget and Management on December 16, 1994; that the Bureau is in the midst of establishing a Career Revenue Service which provides for ranks and corresponding benefit; and that conferment of ranks shall entail vigorous career education and training which approximates the requirement for a masteral degree. Please be informed that your request cannot be granted because the current policy of the Commission is not to allow any exception to the said rule. However, appointments to division chief positions of those who do not have the required education may be allowed under temporary status. As agreed upon during our meeting, you may issue appointments to the positions of Chief Revenue Officer IV under temporary status subject to the condition that the appointment shall not exceed twelve (12) months, but the appointee may be replaced sooner if a qualified eligible who is willing to accept the appointment becomes actually available. Very truly yours, (Sgd) RAMON P. EREMETA, JR. Commissioner All revenue officials and employees are enjoined to give this circular as wide a publicity as possible. RENE G. BAEZ Acting Commissioner of Internal Revenue
