COS walang accountability at wala ring tenure of service. Permanent with tenure of service & great accountability. Nasa iyo ang choice!

Permanent position maski mababa pang SG. Hanggang kamatayan mararamdaman ng mga mahal mo sa buhay ang difference ng benefits.

Permanent position, may Salary Grade with Step Increment for every 3 years, loyalty cash awards, complete with all benefits, bonuses, security of tenure, GSIS coverage.

Permanent position SG 18. Konti lang naman difference when it comes sa salary. COS baka bukas makalawa di ka na i-renew

If you want stability and want to have a government service, grab the plantilla position. Otherwise if you’re a person who loves to take the risks and doesn’t plan to be in a government service for long, grab the COS position.

At the end of the day, ikaw pa din Ang pipili nyan para sa sarili mo.
