CSC Regional Office XII hosted the Virtual Regional Awarding Ceremony on October 16, 2020.
CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala congratulated the NEDA XII and emphasized that the goal of the PRIME-HRM is not to perform better but to serve better.

Chairperson Bala also thanked the NEDA for pushing through the adoption of acknowledging the role of the civil service under the Malasakit Pillar.
NEDA XII RD Teresita Socorro C. Ramos, in her acceptance speech, said that aiming for PRIME-HRM Bronze Award Maturity Level II was not an easy task, but the process was productive, educational, and rewarding. It required team effort, synergy, dedication, and commitment.
She expressed her gratitude to the unwavering support of the officials and staff of NEDA XII, the CSC Field Offices of South Cotabato and Cotabato City, and the CSC XII-Policies and Systems Evaluation Division under the leadership of RD Pueyo for their technical assistance and coaching.
RD Ramos, at the end of her speech, challenged the NEDA XII staff to work for the next maturity level and to live up to the expectation of the PRIME-HRM as an expression of commitment to upholding the pillars of Malasakit, Pagbabago, at Patuloy na Pag-unlad.
