In Cebu, the exam will be held at St. Theresa’s College while in the exam in Davao will be administered at the University of Mindanao – Matina Campus. 

Those who will pass the general ability and competency exam today will move to the second round of tests, which will focus on specific exams that would determine if the applicant will fit the position applied for.

The general ability and competency exam was developed by the CSC specifically for the BOC.

Earlier, the BOC said many of the applicants who were disqualified because they did not have the appropriate civil service eligibility, professional license or credential from the Professional Regulations Commission, Philippine National Police or the Philippine Bar, under the Supreme Court.

Several were also disqualified outright because they have relatives working at the BOC. Those with relatives in the bureau up to the fourth degree of consanguinity are disqualified from working there.  (FREEMAN)
