Every September, the entire public workforce commemorates the establishment of the civil service system in 1900 by the Second Philippine Commission by virtue of Public Law No. 5, an act for the establishment of efficient and honest civil service in the Philippines. It is also an occasion to recognize and highlight the significant role of government workers in nation building.
