Home Development Mutual Fund/Pag-IBIG Fund(HDMF)

09 November 2022 Dear MR. KARL ALDWIN D. CASTRO, This refers to your eFOI request received on 19 October 2022 via the eFOI portal of the Home Development Mutual Fund (Fund) wherein you inquired how long is the actual recruitment and selection process of the Fund. Further, you are requesting for the steps of the recruitment and selection process of the Fund. We deemed it proper to raise this matter to the Operating Unit Concerned – the Human Resource Development Department (HRDD). Section 29 of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (Revised July 2018), CSC Resolution No. 1800692, dated 03 July 2018, states the publication of a particular vacant position shall be valid until filled but not to extend beyond nine (9) months reckoned from the date the vacant position was published. Should no appointment be issued within the nine-month period, the agency has to cause the re-publication and re-posting of the vacant position. Thus, the recruitment and selection process should be within the said period. With regard to the steps of the recruitment and selection process, the Fund adheres to the provisions of the 2017 Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions (Revised July 2018), CSC Resolution No. 1800692, dated 03 July 2018 in the filling up of positions. In compliance with Section 6.6.1 of the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) Memorandum Circular No. 2019-002, series of 2019 entitled Guidelines on the Implementation of the Citizen’s Charter in Compliance with Republic Act 11032, otherwise known as the “Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018,” and Its Implementing Rules and Regulations, may we kindly request your thoughts or feedback on how we can improve your experience by filling out the Feedback Form in this link: FOI Request Feedback Form (google.com) Thank you. Very truly yours, ATTY. JOSE ROBERTO F. PO Department Manager III, Legal Department and Deputy Compliance Officer
