P ursuant to the mobility principle that binds the members of the Career Executive Service (CES), the Career Executive Service Board (CESB)
promulgated CESB Resolution Number 1464, setting its own guidelines on secondment of senior officials to further strengthen linkages and collaboration among government agencies and other institutions towards the continuous improvement of government services. The Resolution governs the secondment of Career Executive Service Officers (CESOs), third level eligibles, and officials/employees occupying second level executive managerial positions seconded to CES positions, in consonance with the policy on secondment of employees occupying second level positions set forth by the Civil Service Commission Resolution No. 061165, Series of 2006. The Governing Board, in recognizing secondment as a personnel movement which provides a platform for sharing managerial and technical expertise of senior officials through exposure to the different public or private agencies or to international bodies and organizations, laid down salient provisions in CESB Resolution Number 1464 on Eligibility Criteria, Memorandum of Agreement between the Mother Agency and the Receiving Agency, Period of Secondment, Extent of Administrative Authority of the Seconded Official, Payment of Compensation and
Other Benefits, and Appointment of a Seconded Official to a CESO Rank while on Secondment. Under this new policy, Secondment of a senior official may be initiated either (1) through invitation or written request of the receiving agency or (2) by application of the senior official to be seconded. In the first case, discretion is vested in the receiving agency to determine the qualifications of the senior official, while in the second case, the senior official must meet the requirements set forth in CESB Resolution Number 1464. Guidelines for other benefits which senior officials may be entitled to while on secondment are also established. For one, a seconded official may still be granted a step increment due to length of service or meritorious performance in accordance with pertinent rules and regulations. Moreover, CESOs and CES eligibles who are seconded to CES positions may be recommended by the Board for appointment to CES rank, subject to existing requirements and criteria. The complete text of CESB Resolution Number 1464, s. 2019 may be accessed from the CESB website at www.cesboard.gov.ph for reference and guidance.

T he CES Governing Board issued CESB Resolutions Numbers 1481 and 1482 on 04 July 2019 setting new parameters for engaging
NUCESO towards a more productive public policy setting and formulation process. CESB Resolution Number 1481, Series of 2019 limits the participation of NUCESO in all meetings of the CES Governing Board. The prior observer status granted by the Board to NUCESO has been revoked. Under the new policy, the Board may invite NUCESO to act as a Resource Person on specific agenda items for them to provide their inputs on policies and proposed programs that impact on the career development of its members who are also members of the CES community. Further, the NUCESO’s authorized representative shall only be allowed to attend the meeting in portions where the NUCESO’s position or comments are being sought by the CES Governing Board. For this purpose, the NUCESO shall submit its position paper or comments within one (1) week from the scheduled Board meeting. The Board also directed the exclusion of the CESB Executive Director from the NUCESO Board of Trustees in CESB Resolution Number 1482, Series of 2019, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1, Rule IX of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act Number 6713, otherwise known as the “Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees”. The afore‐cited law provides that any official or employee shall avoid conflict of interest at all times. Conflict of interest occurs (1) when the official or employee is a substantial stockholder; or a member of the Board of Directors; or an officer of the corporation; or an owner or has substantial interest in a business; or a partner in a partnership; and (2) the interest of such corporation or business, or his rights or duties therein, are opposed to or affected by the faithful performance of official duty. Considering that the NUCESO is a private organization registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that the membership of the CESB Executive Director in the NUCESO Board of Trustees is not annexed to the Executive Director’s official position or exercised as a consequence thereof, such may be incompatible with the aforementioned law and jurisprudence.
The complete texts of CESB Resolutions Numbers 1481 and 1482, Series of 2019 are published in the CESB website for reference and guidance.
T he CES Governing Board, in its 04 July 2019 statement, upholds the performance of duties of the CESB personnel who acted as members of the
Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) during the 14 November 2018 National Union of Career Executive Service Officers, Inc. (NUCESO) general election for its National President and Executive Vice President held in Davao City. Below is the 04 July 2019 statement of the Board, including the attached BEI Report on Chronology of Events, for information and guidance.

D riven by the mission to spearhead positive, meaningful and sustainable
reforms in governance and development, twenty‐six (26) career executives took on the challenge of being “Champions of Change” in attending the thirty‐fifth (35th) Session of the Integrated Gabay ng Paglilingkod (I‐Gabay) Training Course conducted at the Kew Hotel in the City of Tagbilaran, Province of Bohol starting 22 July 2019. Apart from the customary welcome for the learner‐participants to the 12‐day course, CESB Exec. Dir. Maria Anthonette C. Velasco‐Allones encouraged them to contribute to CESB’s continuing efforts to strengthen the content, deepen the meaning, and sustain the impact of the course. She affirmed that CESB assiduously studies and incorporates learners’ inputs and the latest tools, technologies and trends in the development of public management competencies in
regularly reviewing and revising the course. She also noted that, ideally, a career executive’s learning journey must start with the Salamin‐Diwa (SALDIWA) Training Course which focuses on leadership and self‐mastery before achieving excellence in managing organizations (I‐Gabay). In facilitating the Modules on Philippine Governance and Strategic Public Management and on Strategic Human Resource Management for Public Managers, Exec. Dir. Allones allowed the learners to watch and analyze the Third State of the Nation Address (SONA) delivered by Pres. Rodrigo R. Duterte at the House of Representatives in Quezon City. Through group discussion workshops, Exec. Director Allones clarified the fundamental policy directives, strategic plans and programs, and priority instructions highlighting the President’s SONA. She then guided the learners in formulating and presenting proposed
implementation plans and measures which will ensure not only the completion, but also the intended results of the President’s governance and development agenda. Exec. Dir. Allones will be joined by other subject matter experts (SMEs) who will serve as resource persons facilitating succeeding I‐Gabay modules. A highlight of the course is the Community Engagement Module (CEM) where learners undertake assessment research studies on award‐winning models of governance and development innovations in the public and private sectors. This year’s innovation field laboratory model is the “Nurturing Cultural Heritage through Music Program” of the Municipality of Loboc, Province of Bohol which was conferred the 2018 Gawad Galing Pook Award for Outstanding Program in Local Governance. The I‐Gabay Course ends on 2 August 2019.

ECMO is a medical equipment similar to an artificial lung that aids in the filtering of oxygen of patients. During the leptospirosis outbreak in the country last year, Dr. Chavez pioneered the use of ECMO machine to treat patients affected with leptospirosis at the NKTI.
Recognizing Dr. Chavez’s Accomplishments
NKTI’s top Management along with its medical, nursing, and administrative staff; and invited guests from the Civil Service Commission gathered in recognition of the achievements of Dr. Chavez.

Exemplary Courage... 7
July 2019 CES News
Dr. Chavez is successful in his job because he is focused on outcomes. He is emulated by many young physicians he has mentored through the years.
Dr. Joselito R. Chavez is one of the most outstanding physicians in the country today. He graduated from the UP College of Medicine in 1981 and had his training in Internal Medicine and Pulmonology at the UP‐PGH Medical Center. He then went to Stanford Medical Center in Palo Alto, California for Observership in Transplantation Medicine. He started his career as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, UP PGH and later became the Head of Pulmonary Section at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute. Aside from NKTI, he was also a medical consultant in the following hospitals: Capitol Medical Center (CMC), Lung Center of the Philippines (LCP), Philippine Heart Center (PHC) and St. Luke’s Medical Center (SLMC). Because of his training and expertise, he was often called upon to attend to many cases of immunocompromised patients in different hospitals with lung infection.
In the field of medical education, Dr. Chavez pioneered the implementation of the first Integrated Internship program in the Philippines where Post Graduate Interns (PGIs) rotated not only in one hospital but in six (6) Institutions including the Specialty Centers (NKTI, PHC, LCP, and Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC). This exposed the new graduates to greater learning experiences and the latest technology. Starting with ten (10)
interns during the first year of implementation, the program has grown to accepting more than 200 graduates per year after the Department of Health adopted this model for its Integrated Internship Training Program. The initiation, implementation and growth of this innovative program is attributed to the initiative of Dr. Chavez.
Dr. Chavez’s many notable accomplishments include being a recipient of the University of the Philippines Medical Alumni Society (UPMAS) award for Outstanding Medical Service (2018); Philippine College of Physician (PCP) Exemplar as Distinguished Internist Awardee for the fiscal year 2018‐2019; Finalist, Philippine Medical Association (PMA) ‐ 28th Dr. Jose P. Rizal Memorial Awards Clinical Practice Category and 2019 University of the Philippines Alumni Association (UPAA) Distinguished Alumni Award in Public Service and Good Governance.
Highlight of the Program
One of the highlights of the program was a surprise song number from Eric, Dr. Chavez’s son. He sang “What a Wonderful World”, a classic by Louis Armstrong. Residents from the Department of Internal Medicine, also sang a medley of Dr. Chavez’s favorite songs.
ECMO as Medical Breakthrough
Dr. Chavez was recently conferred the 2019 Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award by the Civil Service Commission – National Capital Region
(CSC‐NCR) for his trailblazing work on the use of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) in severe Leptospirosis. ECMO is a machine similar to an artificial lung that filters out blood by means of a cannula or a long tube that goes through the machine’s oxygenator then sends the blood back to the patient, oxygenated or “cleaned.” The use of this technology in the treatment of severe Leptospirosis is a first in the country and considered a medical milestone in the history of the Philippines.
Last year, during a Leptospirosis outbreak in the metro, Dr. Chavez initiated the use of ECMO to treat patients suffering from severe Leptospirosis who were admitted at the NKTI. During one of his medical trainings abroad, he learned that ECMO was able to save a Lepto patient in Japan. The opportunity to try this breakthrough treatment in his home country where there is an ever increasing number of Lepto fatalities inspired Dr. Chavez to form a team of doctors and nurses to oversee the task of pioneering ECMO for lepto patients with severe pulmonary issues.
And the rest, as they say, is history. The innovative treatment was able to save the lives of five patients who would have likely succumbed to the fatal disease. This medical breakthrough changed the landscape of management of severe Leptospirosis in the Philippines and paved the way for both the Institute and Dr. Chavez to reap awards for the successful handling of the Leptospirosis outbreak in Metro Manila last year.
