The Confederation of Independent Unions in the Public Sector (CIUPS) expresses its profound gratitude to the Philippine Civil Service Commission (CSC), particularly the Human Resource Relations Office under the leadership of Ma. Mercedes B. Bullas, for cascading the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Executive Order No. 180.

This milestone affirms the constitutional right of all government employees to self‑organization, enabling the Public Sector to form, join, or assist employees’ organizations of their own choosing to safeguard their interests. The IRR also establishes the Public Sector Labor‑Management Council (PSLMC) as the institutional mechanism for fostering constructive labor‑management relations.

The Confederation extends its appreciation to all participants from the Negros Island Region (NIR) for their active involvement and commitment to advancing responsible public sector unionism.

BASAHIN: Sa gitna ng lumalalang tensyon sa Middle East, naglabas ang Department of Energy (DOE) ng isang advisory, kung saan ipinag-uutos sa lahat ng concerned government agencies ang mandatory implementation ng energy efficiency at conservation measures.

“To mitigate the impacts of ongoing international developments, and to ensure ample electricity during the hot dry season, the mandatory implementation of energy efficiency and conservation measures to realize at least 10% savings, and the strict implementation of the GEMP Guidelines and relevant IAEECC resolutions are enjoined,” saad ng DOE sa kanilang inilabas na advisory.

Sa ilalim ng naturang advisory, hinihikayat ang mga government offices na magsagawa ng hakbang katulad ng pag-activate ng sleep settings sa office equipments, paggamit ng air-conditioning unit na hindi bababa sa 24 degrees Celsuis, at pag-adopt sa flexible work arrangements.

“The DOE shall closely monitor the implementation of this,” dagdag pa ng ahensya.
