Civil Service Today? Poem by MELVIN BANGGOLLAY

CIVIL SERVICE TODAY?
Melvin Banggollay


We all desired to behold an entity
Upholding professional integrity
Respecting other’s right and dignity
While they seek job opportunity.

But what happens today as reality
We have a system in our bureaucracy
That we hire banking on one’s affinity
Rather than on one’s proven credibility.

Many of our heads and appointing authority
In various political and government entity
Hires not on the basis of skills and ability
But when they knew someone personally.

Many of them hires their own PEERS
Relatives & associates even not well verse
In doing their task they have to disperse
With professional competence outburst.

I proposed to get one with PEEERS
Someone with the best P-ersonality
Anybody who excelled so E-ducationally
Anyone with the needed E-xperience
Someone with required E-ligibility
Somebody who can carry R-esponsibility
In serving people with S-kill and ability.
