Tacloban City–Over 8,000 vacancies in 254 government agencies are up for grabs at the 2025 Government Job Fair happening on 2–5 September across 15 regional venues nationwide, and on 9 September, specifically in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
Organized by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) in celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service Anniversary (PCSA), the job fair offers plantilla and non-plantilla positions in national agencies, local governments, government-owned and -controlled corporations, and state colleges and universities.
CSC Chairperson Marilyn B. Yap highlighted that this year’s 8,032 openings surpass the target of 6,300, marking the highest number of vacancies in the history of CSC-led job fairs.
Chairperson Yap encourages fresh graduates, jobseekers, and career shifters—regardless of background, ability, or identity—to seize the opportunity to join the government workforce and serve with Puso, Dangal, at Galing para sa Bayan.
In the National Capital Region (NCR), 25 government agencies will participate, including the Pasig City Government, Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, Pag-IBIG Fund, Social Security System, and University of the Philippines Diliman. The CSC noted, however, that registration for the NCR leg at SM North EDSA has already reached its maximum number of pre-registered applicants.
