Question & AnswerQ&A (CESB Resolution NO. 718)
The highest rank is Career Executive Service Officer Rank I (CESO I) with salary grade 30, and the lowest rank is Career Executive Service Officer Rank VI (CESO VI) with salary grade 25.
Appointments to CES ranks are made by the President from a list of CES Eligibles recommended by the Career Executive Service Board.
A CES Eligible must have completed the Executive Leadership Program (ELP) and three accredited training programs or their equivalent.
A CES Eligible must have a performance rating of at least Very Satisfactory for the year immediately preceding the recommendation for appointment.
Yes, a CES Officer may be recommended for appointment to a higher CES rank even without promotion to a higher CES position, subject to certain qualifications including residency and performance ratings.
A CES Officer must have at least three years of residency in his/her current CES rank.
An outstanding performance rating is equivalent to two years of experience. For example, one outstanding and one very satisfactory rating meet the three-year residency requirement.
The unsatisfactory rating nullifies prior outstanding or very satisfactory ratings, requiring the officer to start accumulating the required performance ratings anew before being eligible for promotion.
Clearances must be obtained from the Department or Agency, Civil Service Commission, Sandiganbayan, Office of the Ombudsman, Presidential Anti-Graft Commission, and National Bureau of Investigation.
The resolution took effect fifteen days after its publication in a newspaper of general circulation or in the official gazette.
