SEC. 32. Responsibility for Training.—The Commission shall be responsible for the coordination and integration of a continuing program of personnel development for all government personnel in the first and second levels. Central staff agencies and specialized institutes shall conduct continuing centralized training for staff specialists from the different agencies. However, in those cases where there is sufficient number of participants to warrant training at department or agency or local government level, such central staff agencies and specialized institutes shall render the necessary assistance, and consultative services. To avoid duplication of effort and overlapping of training functions, the following functional responsibilities are assigned: Public and private colleges and universities and similar institutions shall be encouraged to organize and carry out continuing programs of executive development. The Commission, the Commission on Audit, the Budget Commission, the General Services Administration, and other central staff agencies shall conduct centralized training and assist in the training program of the Departments or agencies along their respective functional areas of specialization. In coordination with the Commission, the Department of Local Government and Community Development shall undertake local government training programs. In coordination with the Commission, each department or agency, province or city shall establish, maintain and promote a systematic plan of action for personnel training at all levels in accordance with standards laid down by the Commission. It shall maintain appropriate training staffs and make full use of available training facilities. Whenever it deems it necessary, the Commission shall take the initiative in undertaking programs for personnel development. SEC. 33. Employee Suggestions and Incentive Award System.—There shall be established a government-wide employee suggestions and incentive awards system which shall be administered under such rules, regulations, and standards as may be promulgated by the Commission. In accordance with rules, regulations, and standards promulgated by the Commission, the President or the head of each department or agency is authorized to incur whatever necessary expenses involved in the honorary recognition of subordinate officers and employees of the government who by their suggestions, inventions, superior accomplishment, and other personal efforts contribute to the efficiency, economy, or other improvement of government operations, or who perform such other extraordinary acts or services in the public interest in connection with, or in relation to, their official employment.
