for government agencies. Many still want to serve and work for our government,”
said Ken Gonzaga, who applied for several positions during the Job Fair event

SM Supermalls, in partnership with the Civil Service Commission (CSC),
continues to champion employment opportunities for Filipinos as it rolls out a
series of Job Fairs nationwide this September.

| Opening
the doors to public service | The Civil Service Commission (CSC) together
with SM Supermalls officially opened the Civil Service Anniversary Job Fair at
SM City North EDSA in celebration of CSC’s 125th year. |
The initiative forms part of the 125th Philippine Civil Service
Anniversary (PCSA), which highlights the enduring legacy of public service
every September. Job seekers will gain access to job opportunities in national
government agencies, local government units, government-owned and controlled
corporations, and state universities and colleges. These job fairs offer job
seekers the unique opportunity to find their purpose in public service.

Beyond Employment: Building a

These job fairs go beyond recruitment. They highlight the critical
role of civil service in nation-building, inspiring Filipinos to pursue careers
that directly impact communities and transform lives.

collaboration: “SM is honored to celebrate 125 years of Philippine Civil Service by
opening our malls as venues where Filipinos can discover not just jobs, but
meaningful careers in public service. By working hand-in-hand with CSC and our
government partners, we continue to support an empowered citizenry and sustainable

For many participants,
these job fairs also meant finding purpose in serving the nation. Joanne
Moriel, a fresh graduate has her eye on government employment: “Especially with
what’s happening now in the country, I want to be part of the public sector to
be able to help make a difference.”

The Civil Service Anniversary Job Fairs reaffirmed SM Supermalls’ role
as a trusted partner of the government—helping agencies source their talents,
empowering jobseekers to find stable and impactful careers, and bringing
essential services closer to communities.

easier for Filipinos to explore careers in public service—opportunities that go
beyond personal growth and contribute to the progress of our communities and
the nation, the place is well-organized, convenient and very accessible for
jobseekers” said Mary Grace Dugay, Director III, Civil Service Commission. |
