Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):
SEPTEMBER 19, 1900
Act No. 5 or the Civil Service Act was issued which was “An Act for the Establishment and Maintenance of an Efficient and Honest Civil Service in the Philippine Islands.”
By authority of U.S. Pres. William McKinley, the act was enacted by the United States Philippine Commission (Second Philippine Commission) led by William Howard Taft. This started the appointments and promotions in government based on merits.
The act established a three-member body known as the Philippine Civil Service Board composed of a Chairman, Secretary, and Chief Examiner.
