More than 90 newly-appointed and promoted employees of the City Government of San Fernando took oath of office on October 18, 2021, increasing the total number of permanent employees in the local government unit to over 600.

**PROMOTED HEALTH PERSONNEL**. These employees of the City Government of San Fernando who are under health and medical fields were among the over 90 newly-appointed and promoted employees of the City on October 18, 2021. Joining them are Mayor Edwin “EdSa” Santiago, Vice Mayor Jimmy Lazatin, City Health Officer-in-Charge Dr. Carlos Mercado, and City Human Resource Management Officer Dr. Rachelle Yusi.

More than half of the total number was achieved in a span of only three years, through the constant implementation of the Partial Reorganizational Structure and Staffing Pattern (PRSSP) of the City which commenced in 2018.

This paved the way for a number of personnel to be appointed from being “project-based” or “casual” employees, and existing permanent employees to be promoted to higher posts.

Further, City Human Resource Management Office (CHRMO) data showed that more than 150 employees were either appointed or promoted from 2020 to 2021 despite the pandemic.

“Amidst the challenges that we are facing, I am really proud and inspired to continue fulfill the mandate of our office [CHRMO] because of your unwavering passion to serve. This is not just a milestone to employees like you. It is also a milestone to the City Government itself,” said, Dr. Rachelle Yusi, CHRM Officer, in her opening message.

New roster of permanent employees included nurses, midwives, social workers, administrative officers, sanitation inspectors, project development officers, labor and employment officers, and day care workers, among others.

The candidates passed thru the same procedure and qualification standards except that the screening, panel interviews, and deliberations were done virtually to comply with infection control policies.

Mayor Edwin “EdSa” Santiago led the oath taking of the employees. It was witnessed by Yusi, Vice Mayor Jimmy Lazatin, City Health Officer-in-Charge Dr. Carlos Mercado, and other heads of offices.

“Ang appointment at promotion ninyo ay sadyang napapanahon dahil sa gitna ng pandemiya, kailangan natin nang mas maraming kinatawan ng pamahalaan na magpapatuloy sa mga programa at proyekto ng Siyudad para sa mga Fernandinos, para sa kapakanan nila,” Santiago said.

As of this writing, apart from the 633 permanent employees, the City Government also has 808 project-based, 133 casual, 65 coterminous, and 10 temporary employees, along with 14 elected officials.
