Welcome to the College of Public Affairs and Development Website
From its creation in 1998, the then-College of Public Affairs (CPAf) has made its mark in the field of development and governance studies. Through the years, CPAf has produced a significant number of graduates and a body of knowledge along institutional, policy and governance issues in the rural sector, in general, and in the agriculture and natural resources sectors, in particular.
Under a new name and a strong, dynamic “one-faculty-one-college” structure that helps strengthen and sustain its established innovations, the College of Public Affairs and Development now aims to offer more relevant academic programs on development and governance studies.
Atty. Dugay of CSC discussed “endo” for workers in the government
by Hadji C. Jalotjot
Contractualization in the country’s labor sector recently received special attention due to President Duterte’s order to end such practice. Though commonly observed in the private sector, contractualization also occurs in government offices in the form of job orders (JOs) or contract-of-service (COS) with individuals or institutions. Different sets of rules and regulations administered by separate government agencies govern labor practices in the country. The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) oversees the private sector while the Civil Service Commission (CSC) oversees the labor and employment in the government.
