00:20Commissioner Lizada also explained that there are exemptions in the Circular Memorandum they issued.
00:26This includes medical personnel, traffic enforcers, those with health conditions, and government officials who are in field work.
00:34CSC also gave the authority to make regulations for government agencies to revise their dress code.
00:43This is a step by CSC as a part of the Pilipinas in celebrating ASEAN Month and to make ASEAN's important role in the region.
00:56They are still wearing their uniform but putting accents on so at least we will be able to comply on a bigger scope than ASEAN.
