The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has postponed the Career Service Examination-Pen and Paper Test (CSE-PPT) initially scheduled on July 18 in 18 testing centers in selected regions as a precaution against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
The CSC announced the deferment of the civil service exam “until further notice.”
“The move is made in compliance with health protocols and implementation of strict community quarantines with the surge of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) cases,” it said in a statement on Monday.
