Question & AnswerQ&A (CESB Resolution NO. 726)
The CES is created to form a continuing pool of well-selected and development-oriented career administrators who shall provide competent and faithful service.
The Career Executive Service Board (CESB) governs the CES and is mandated to promulgate rules, standards, and procedures on the selection, classification, compensation, and career development of CES members.
A CESO is a person conferred with Career Executive Service Eligibility by the CESB, appointed to a CES position, and appointed to a CES rank by the President upon the Board's recommendation.
The principle is "once a CESO, always a CESO," meaning once appointed to a CES rank, a CESO may be active or inactive depending on whether they hold a CES position.
A CES rank becomes inactive upon separation from CES due to appointment outside CES coverage, dropping from government rolls, or other separation modes except dismissal for cause after due process.
CES rank remains active if the CESO is appointed to a CES position as Officer-in-Charge or acting capacity in a non-CES position, detailed or seconded to another position within CES-covered agencies, or placed in the CESO pool.
A CESO with an inactive CES rank loses the rights and privileges granted by law based on the CES rank.
Requirements include: appointment paper certified by a Personnel Officer, service record certified likewise, updated CES Personal Data Form, clearances from the agency, Civil Service Commission, Sandiganbayan, Presidential Anti-Graft Commission, and a self-certification of no pending administrative or criminal cases.
No, the CESB will not reactivate the CES rank of a CESO dismissed for cause and after due process.
Clearances must be obtained from the concerned department or agency, Civil Service Commission, Sandiganbayan, and the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission.
Their CES rank does not become inactive; they maintain active status as a CESO.
The guidelines are titled "The Revised Guidelines on Reactivation of Career Executive Service (CES) Ranks."
The Office of the President must be furnished a copy of the Resolution.
