The 2025 ORAOHRA, recently issued by the Civil Service Commission, replaces the 2017 version in its entirety, signaling a major shift in the Philippine government’s HR regulatory framework. This landmark issuance introduces vital updates and clarifications on appointments, personnel actions and compliance mechanisms that every government office must understand and implement correctly.
This training is designed to equip key government personnel, legal practitioners and compliance officers with a clear and operational understanding of the new rules — from appointment requirements to common pitfalls and legal implications.
It will highlight what has changed, what has been repealed and how to effectively implement the new provisions in alignment with the CSC’s standards for merit, fitness and accountability. Enroll now!
She served as the Director in charge of the Human Resource Policies and Standards Office at the Civil Service Commission.
While with CSC, it was under her leadership that the foundational Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (ORAOHRA) were crafted. She also played a key role in cascading the revised policies to national agencies, CSC Regional and Field Offices, and various institutions across the country.

WHY THIS MATTERS:
If you fail to update your people on the new ORAOHRA:
• Your appointments may be invalidated by the CSC.
• Your HR team may unintentionally violate civil service law, exposing them and your office to
administrative liability.
• Your legal team may be ill-equipped to defend your agency in disciplinary cases.
With this training, you will know what’s changed, how to comply, and what every document must
contain for an appointment to stand CSC scrutiny.
WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND:
• Government HR officers and appointing authorities are mandated to ensure full compliance with
the new ORAOHRA.
Failure to do so can result in invalid appointments, disallowances or administrative sanctions.
• Heads of agencies, department directors and LGU executives will gain insights to make legally
defensible and merit-based HR decisions.
• Lawyers and legal officers must understand the rules to properly advise and defend their
clients—be they government officials or personnel—on appointment legitimacy and procedural
due process.
• Civil society partners and human resource advocates can use this knowledge to promote
transparency, fairness and good governance.
TARGET PARTICIPANTS:
• Appointing authorities (Agency Heads, LGU Mayors, Governors, SUC Presidents,
GOCC Executives)
• HRMOs and HR Officers (plantilla and job order)
• Legal Officers, Government Lawyers and Compliance Officers
• Members of the Human Resource Merit Promotion and Selection Boards
• Administrative Officers of SUCs, GOCCs, LGUs, NGAs and Constitutional Offices
