Emphasizing the vital role of public servants in building strong institutions, Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) proudly recognized its very own Model Non-Teaching Employee, or Katangi-tanging Kawani ng Gobyerno, during the annual Search for Katangi-tanging Kawani ng Unibersidad, held in line with the celebration of the 125th Philippine Civil Service (CSC) Anniversary at the Gilberto O. Teodoro Multipurpose Center on 29 September.
The award was conferred once again to Mr. Roderick V. Garidan, Administrative Aide V from the Planning and Development Office (PDO) โ Management and Information Systems (MIS), after he obtained the highest score of 92.077% during the deliberation of the Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) committee.
A father of three, Mr. Garidan, or simply โKuya Rickโ among his comrades, began his career as a computer technician in a private IT company before joining TAU in 2012. Since then, he has demonstrated deep commitment to public service, productivity, compassion, and resourcefulness in every responsibility entrusted to him. Colleagues describe him as a reliable partner, a problem-solver with cost-saving initiatives, and an inspiration who proves that true service means going beyond what is expected, all while fulfilling his responsibilities to his wife and children.
