Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo reminded government officials and employees: “One does not join government to make money; one joins government to serve.”

The reminder was issued by the Chief Justice during the testimonial luncheon last Wednesday, Aug. 2, for the Supreme Court’s 44 officials and employees who are the 2023 recipients of the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence .

The PIO said that to be eligible for the award, the retiree must have rendered at least 15 years of service in the government and is at least 60 years old at the time of retirement.“What kept me working in government, despite the pay, despite those long hours, and perhaps despite an occasional disenchantment or two, was, more than the lure of learning, the sense of purpose it immediately gave me. Instantly, all my hard work found direction in that solitary goal of public service,” he said.

“Your legacy is in leaving behind an office better than you found it, in working and giving your best for the public good, and in making yourselves examples of selfless and dedicated service to those who continue the work,” he added.The awardees are: Atty. Jesusa Jean D. Reyes, Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Office; Atty. Carissa C. Parel, Office of Justice Henri Jean Paul B. Inting; Dean Sedfrey M. Candelaria, Philippine Judicial Academy; Atty. Librada C.
