The CSC said that the resulting eligibilities from passing the FOE and POE – the Fire Officer Eligibility and the Penology Officer Eligibility – are both second-level eligibilities that are specific and appropriate for second-level ranks in the fire protection and jail management and penology services, respectively, and other functionally related services. However, the appropriateness of these eligibilities does not include ranks under the Philippine National Police, the CSC clarified.
On the other hand, the Local Treasurer Eligibility is second-level eligibility specific and appropriate for appointment to Local Treasurer and Assistant Local Treasurer positions, and to positions under the Financial Services in the civil service, except those requiring the practice of the profession or are covered by Bar/Board and special laws.
