Marcos orders revamp of 2 presidential offices
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the reconstitution of the Office of the President-Human Resource Merit Promotion and Selection Board (OP-HRMPSB) for first- and second-level career positions, Malacañang said on Saturday.
Likewise, the President ordered the revamp of the OP-Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (OP-Praise) Committee.
Through Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, Marcos signed on May 2 Memorandum Order 24 and Memorandum Order 25, directing the reorganization of the two OP offices.
Under Memorandum Order 24, the OP-HRMPSB will now be chaired by the deputy executive secretary for Finance and Administration and vice chaired by the deputy executive secretary for Legal Affairs.
Members of the OP-HRMPSB include the deputy executive secretary for General Administration, deputy executive secretary for Support Services and Auxiliaries, two representatives from the Office of the Executive Secretary, and the head of the Human Resource Management Office.
One representative each from the OP Employees’ Network for first-level and second-level positions are also members of the OP-HRMPSB along with the head of office “where the vacancy exists.”
Meanwhile, the Human Resource Management Office (HRMO) will now serve as secretariat for the OP-HRMPSB.
On the other hand, Memorandum Order 25 reconstituted the OP-Praise Committee to be headed by the deputy executive secretary for Finance and Administration with members from different offices.
Members of the committee would now include a representative from the Office of the Executive Secretary; heads of the HRMO, Legal Office, Finance Office and Technical Services Office; a representative for third-level positions to be assigned by the executive secretary; a representative for second-level positions; and an alternate representative for second-level positions.
A representative for first-level positions and an alternate representative for first-level positions are also part of the OP-Praise Committee.
The HRMO is mandated to provide secretariat and administrative support to the committee.
