CESOs troop to Asia’s Latin City...

T he 11th Annual CES Conference concluded last November 16, 2012

was a memorable event to the many CESOs and third level eligi-bles who attended the three-day learning sessions. Aside from the warm welcome from Zamboanga City Mayor Celso L. Lobregat, the conference started the 2nd and

3rd day with the simultaneous wellness activities such as Zumba Dance at the Orchid Ballroom and Yoga for Health at the Yakan Function Room, Garden Orchid Hotel, Zamboanga City.

The participants actively

joined the forum on Triple Bottomline of Governance for Sustainable Growth. The forum

gave emphasis on the topic “From Jobs to Green Jobs: Transition Imperatives” that was substan-tially discussed by the Executive Director of the Institute for Labor Studies of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Cynthia R. Cruz, CESO III, Department of Environment and Natural Resources Assistant Secretary Daniel M. Nicer,

and PHIVOLCS chief Rene Solidum served as a platform for sharing leadership challenges and tips for mustering organizational support to ensure successful innovations and collective endeavors in their respec-tive fields. Moderated by DSWD Director Marge Sampang, who is also a past Gawad CES awardee, the learning session proved to be an oppor-tunity for drawing insights on how CESOs as leaders can continuously hone their leadership and managerial competence.

The first day of the Conference culminated in the Annual Testimo-nial Dinner, honoring one hundred thirty graduates of this year’s Executive Leadership Program. The CESB also led the Pagpupugay at Pasasalamat rites to honor compulsory and optional CESO retirees from various agencies. Another highlight of this year’s Dinner was the moving testimonial for outgoing NUCESO President, DENR Assistant Secretary Cora Davis.

CESB Executive Director Tonette Velasco-Allones and the Board’s Chairman, Tony Kalaw, led the solemn Opening Rites and the Annual Testimonial Dinner.

Participants lauded the very efficient and helpful support extended by this year’s confer-ence host, the Regional Executives Associat ion of Western Mindanao, under the leadership of CSC Regional Director Macy Alfaro-Sahi.

4th CES Club Learning Session: Wild Woman Workshop

A total of twenty-four (24) participants from various na-tional government

agencies and government-owned or controlled corporations graced the 4th and last CES Club Learning Session for this year entitled “Wild Woman Workshop” last October 5, 2012 (Friday) at the Occupational Safety and Health Center (OSHC).

The session facilitator is Ms.

Sophia Sim-Bate – a Psychologist with a degree from the University of the Philippines (UP) and a Master of Arts degree in Counsel-ing Psychology from Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU). Ms. Sim-Bate, who has a vast experi-ence in psychotherapy, is a private practitioner. She has been conducting seminar/workshop and lectures to many private companies, government organiza-tions, schools, and to the general public as well.

Ms. Sim-Bate explained that a Wild Woman (feminine soul)

lives closer to her nature or inner rhythms. She has the ability to discern what is needed in both the inner and outer lives at any given moment. She has strong intuition and understands the life-death-life cycle and is able to live a creative life. Ac-cording to her, one is not in touch with her wild woman when she feels/think or act as if she is powerless; has no voice; invisi-ble; chained or trapped; afraid or angry all the time; fragmented; dry up or perennially tired or depressed for no apparent reason; not depressed but not happy as

well, among others. She also gave some tips on how to get back the “wild woman” in every woman. In sum, the participants were able to appreciate their women psyche and how midlife pressures often stifle personal maturity and pro-fessional growth.

The CES Club is a career

development program that seeks to reinvent interesting topics on culture and arts, personal development and other motivational subjects that are significant to the works of government servants.
