Download Excel Format of CSC PDS revised 2017 Blank (8.5x13in or Legal Size) + Fixed Forms!
Civil Service Commission (CSC) directs all government employees to submit and update their updated Personal Data Sheet (PDS) using the NEW form.
The PDS is the official information sheet for all government officials and employees and is used as a main supporting document for all appointments in the government service. It requires truthful disclosure not only of an employee’s personal information but also his/her civil service eligibility; work experience; voluntary work or involvement in any civic, non-government, people, or voluntary organizations; learning and development interventions or training programs attended; and other pertinent information.
CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said that the new form contains employee information that may support appointments and other HR actions. It also conforms with relevant laws and issuances.
“In the 2017 version of the PDS, state workers who hold dual citizenship, including dual citizenship by birth, should indicate the countries of which they are a citizen. Those who have acquired the status of an immigrant or permanent resident of another country should also disclose the country where they acquired such status,” Chairperson Bala said.
She added that the CSC now requires submitting a separate Work Experience Sheet, where employees shall indicate their actual duties for each position declared in the PDS under the Work Experience field.
“These details shall be used by the Commission in evaluating appointments issued, particularly in checking whether the appointee’s qualifications meet the requirements of the vacant position being filled,” she stated.
Moreover, the new PDS is a sworn document, which means it shall be attested to under oath by the employee and witnessed by a person authorized to administer an oath or affirmation.
PDS has 4 sheets in an Excel file:

CSC Personal Data Sheet (PDS) Guidelines in Filling Out the Form
You might say this is just a form, but mind you, any wrong inputted information can lead to cases.
Warning: Any misrepresentation made in the Personal Data Sheet and the Work Experience Sheet shall cause the filing of administrative/criminal case/s against the person concerned.
All aspirants who wish to work in the government agency need to have this Personal Data Sheet.
The human resource staff needs this form for the personnel file and is most likely a job requirement.
A job seeker should fill out the form eligibly and correctly, and these are the few guidelines on filling out the PDS form.
NOTES: All information should be provided accurately.
It is advisable to fill out each of the fields in the PDS. The PDS may be accomplished using the MS Word format or MS Excel format. Here, we use the Excel form; I have already fixed some printing issues. Also, do not leave blank entries. Put N/A if not applicable.
One good advantage of the Microsoft Excel format is that all the tick boxes will automatically be marked once clicked.
The PDS must bear the employee's signature and date of accomplishment at the bottom of every page except the C4 (last part). Since it is different from the three pages, you can see a bigger field for your signature.
Entries in the PDS may be filled out through handwriting or via a typewriter/computer. TAKE NOTE: If handwritten, entries should be in block capital (e.g., PRINT) format using a pen. Ideally, you will achieve it on the computer because you can easily modify and update it whenever you need it.
For purposes of application to a vacant position, the additional sheet for work experience should be accomplished. (ATTACHMENT WORK EXPERIENCE SHEET). You can find it on the link given.
