By Office of the University President | April 29, 2026 |

Cagayan State University (CSU) successfully conducted the lecture-seminar on the Rules on Appointments, Human Resource Merit Promotion and Selection Board (HRMPSB) Functions, and Other Provisions of ORAOHRA 2025 on April 28, 2026, at the CSU Claude Andrews Convention Center.

The activity forms part of the University’s continuing efforts to align its human resource management systems with the policies, standards, and guidelines of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), particularly following the issuance of the 2025 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (ORAOHRA).

A total of 70 participants composed of HRMPSB Chairpersons, Chief Administrative Officer, Human Resource Management Officers (HRMOs), HR staff, Campus Administrative Officers, and members of the HRMPSB attended the seminar.

In his message, CSU Officer-in-Charge President Dr. Arthur G. Ibanez emphasized the importance of updated HR policies, noting that the University has “many positions to fill” and must ensure that only the most qualified individuals are appointed.

Vice President for Administration Dr. Theresa B. Dimalanta highlighted that ORAOHRA 2025 is a critical instrument in building a merit-based and accountable bureaucracy, stressing that proper implementation of HR policies directly contributes to public trust and effective service delivery.

In her closing remarks, Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Mariden V. Cauilan described the seminar as an enlightening and productive experience, emphasizing that understanding the realities of management and administration leads to more effective and mature responses to institutional concerns.

Meanwhile, resource speakers from the Civil Service Commission (CSC) Cagayan – Batanes Field Office, led by Dir. Maria Noemi S. Bustamante assisted by Atty. Anna Karizza T. Villacete, facilitated the discussions.

Initiated by the Office of the Vice President for Administration and Finance led by Dr. Theresa B. Dimalanta and the Human Resource Management Office headed by Chief Ramon Henry Peregrino O. Kanapi, the lecture-seminar supports CSU’s institutional goal of achieving Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM) Level II accreditation by strengthening recruitment, selection, and placement systems.
