521 pass CEO exam

The Manila Bulletin published the list of Career Executive Officer
Examination passers today, with a brief article.

It seems that my officemate heard wrong and instead of seven percent,
13.17% passed the exam. Whatever, I am just glad that God made me
pass it :) I hope that He would also guide me through the rest of the
process. It's still a long way to get the CEO eligibility but I'm
glad to be done with the first phase.

Below is the article from Manila Bulletin
(http://www.mb.com.ph/MAIN2006111579702.html).

One may check the names of CEO exam passers at Manila Bulletin's
website (http://www.mb.com.ph/BDPR2006111579715.html) or the website

521 pass Career Executive Officer exam

Only 521 or 13.17 percent of the 3,955 examinees passed the written
phase of the Career Executive Officer Examination (CEOE) conducted
last June 25, 2006, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) disclosed
recently.

The Career Executive Officer Examination (CEOE) is the unified
third-level examination system adopted jointly by the CSC and the
Career Executive Service Board (CESB).

The CEOE is a four-stage examination system composed of a written
test, assessment, interview, which shall be optional, and validation.
The resulting eligibility is called the Career Executive Officer (CEO)
Eligibility, which is needed for appointment to third level or
executive positions in the government.

The CSC said the 521 examinees of the written phase will proceed to
the next stages of the CEOE to be scheduled by the CSC and the CESB.
The CEO eligibility shall be conferred on applicants who will pass all
the stages of the CEOE.

The National Capital Region, the CSC reported, has the highest
percentage of passers vis-a-vis its examinees pegged at 21.29 percent
or 283 passers.

Other regions of the country with a notable passing rate against their
number of examinees include Western Visayas (Region 6) with a 16.13
percent passing rate, Central Visayas (Region 7), 14 percent; Central
Luzon (Region 3), 12.82 percent; Cordillera Administrative Region
(CAR), 12.15 percent; and Northern Mindanao (Region 10), 10.78
percent. Eastern Visayas (Region 8), with only 5.61 percent, has the
lowest percentage of passers.

Meanwhile, 118 examinees qualified for the Supplemental Written
Examination (SWE), which shall be given to examinees who failed in
only one area of competency but nonetheless obtained the aggregate
cut-off score. They shall be given the chance to take and pass the
test in the area of competency where they failed to be able to proceed
to the second phase of the CEOE.

The areas of competency include verbal ability, analytical ability,
and managerial ability. The complete list of SWE Qualifiers may be
accessed at the CSC website www.csc.gov.ph .
