| Examinees from HK island, outlying islands and Macau will take the exam at theHKCEC |
It’s all systems go for the first-ever Philippine civil
service examination in Hong Kong on Nov 27 with volunteers set to undergo a
briefing this Sunday on their roles in the test, according to Labor Attache
Jalilo dela Torre.
More than 1,000 OFWs from Hong Kong and Macau are scheduled
to take the test that would qualify them for job openings in the government
service once they decide to return to the country for good.
Booking of the two venues for the examination – the Hong
Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre convention hall in Wanchai and the Delia
Memorial School Hip Wo campus in Kwuntong – has now been finalized, Labatt De
la Torre said.

He added that the 80 volunteer proctors and watchers would
meet with Civil Service Commission officers this Sunday for an orientation on
their roles during the examination.
The proctors and watchers will be split between the two
venues located on either side of Victoria Harbour.
An announcement on the Philippine Overseas Labor Office
webpage on Facebook says examinees from Kowloon and the New Territories will be
directed to Delia Hip Wo, while those coming from Hong Kong and Macau will have
to go to HKCEC.
Labatt De la Torre said those from the outlying islands such
as Lantau, Lamma and Cheung Chau will also be told to go to HKCEC.
The schedule of the exam at both venues has been
synchronized to last from 1pm to 4pm, but de la Torre said examinees should be
at the test sites at least one hour before the start of the examination.
He advised the examinees to bring a black pen, their
original passports, original proof of payment and a copy of the CSC application
form. - Vir B. Lumicao
