| Delia Hip Wo is the sole venue of the first Civil Service exam outside the Philippines |
Labor Attache Jalilo de la Torre disclosed the change of
venue today, Nov 23, just four days before the scheduled examination.
Labatt De la Torre and his staff have been contacting the
examinees who were earlier advised to go to the HKCEC for the exam, the first
ever to be administered by the Civil Service Commission outside the
Philippines.
The POLO official told The SUN cost issues had prompted the
CSC to ditch the HKCEC as test venue.
He did not say how much the HKCEC would cost but said Delia
was charging $40,000 for the use of its campus for the Nov. 27 examination on.
The Philippine Overseas Labor Office issued an announcement
this afternoon which Labatt De la Torre posted on his Facebook page.
“Due to technical issues with the Hong Kong Convention and
Exhibition Center as venue for the Nov 27 Civil Service Exams, we have decided
to hold the exam only at Delia School at 221 Hip Wo St., Kwun Tong. Recommended
transportation is by MTR, (Green Line) Kwun Tong Station, Exit A1.
“All registered examinees are advised to proceed to DELIA
SCHOOL on Sunday, and to give allowance for walking (about 15 minutes from Exit
C3 and looking for the venue).
“Please be
reminded to bring BLACK PEN, and the following:
