BATAC CITY—The Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU)-Federated Alumni Association, Inc. (FAAI) represented by its president, Bismark Angelo Quidang and Batac Vice Mayor Ronald Allan M. Nalupta are set to conduct a free civil service exam review in this city.

A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed on September 17, 2013 at the SP session hall in the presence of Batac councilors Florencio Laud, Gwyneth Quidang, Lucky Rene Bunye, alumni relations office chief Dr. Doreen Domingo, MMSU-VP for FAAI Prof. Ciriaco Ragual and Batac City HRMO/PESO manager Marlon Soria.

Quidang said the association is committed to provide utmost assistance to its members by way of extending viable opportunities, strengthening their capabilities and competence, and forging linkages for the creation of greater opportunities.

Relative to this, Quidang said the association and the vice mayor will conduct free review sessions for MMSU alumni who will take the periodic professional civil service examination.

The association will provide resource speakers or lecturers especially faculty members and alumni of MMSU while the vice mayor will provide the venue and materials for the review which will be held at the SP session hall for three consecutive Sundays.

Quidang said that since this is the first time to conduct a free CS review, it will depend on this if this would be repeated in the future.

He said that the priority clienteles this time would be employees from the Batac City government, Mariano Marcos Memorial and Medical Center and MMSU who do not have professional eligibility yet.

The funding will be come from the alumni association while the materials and the venue will be provided by the vice mayor.

Due to the limited space at the SP session hall, both parties decided to accept 60 clienteles only.

Nalupta for his part, said he believes this would strengthen the competence of MMSU graduates who will take CS professional examinations.

Likewise, Nalupta thanked the MMSU-FAAI for choosing him as one of their partners in this endeavor to help MMSU alumni graduates to have better opportunities.

Nalupta disclosed that the free review sessions will not only accommodate alumni from this city but from the entire province.

Reacting to this, Batac Mayor Jeffrey Jubal Nalupta saluted the MMSU-FAAI and the vice mayor for this program, helping MMSU graduates for free.

The mayor cited the city employees who have not yet passed their civil service professionals as an example so that they will also be given the chance to attain permanent positions.

He said the city government of Batac is very strict in terms of hiring not only for the applicant’s educational backgrounds or preparedness for the position but also their potentials.

Relative to this, the mayor cited new positions like the civil registrar, revenue collections officers, city veterinarian and other positions that are still vacant.     


The Ilocos Times learned that about 20 city hall employees were enrolled in this free CS professional exam review.
