Tan recently met with Director Gil Cabunay, of the Civil Service Commission in Sulu and Basilan to discuss the forthcoming examination. Cabunay has sought Tan’s assistance in the conduct of the examination set on August 7. 

“The Provincial Government will see to it that the required logistical and manpower support are provided for the Special Examination,” Tan told Cabunay. 

Tan also thanked the Civil Service Commission for holding the examination in Sulu instead of Zamboanga or Pagadian cities. “This will greatly benefit the examinees because they do not have to spend board and lodging money to go to Zamboanga or Pagadian just to take the examination. They can now concentrate fully on their review and not worry anymore about money to be able to participate in the Civil Service examination,” he said. 

It is only during the time of Tan that such national or licensure examinations are held in Sulu and even the police and military recruitments are now localized. He was also instrumental in putting up offices for various government and law enforcement agencies here. (Mindanao Examiner)
