In the proposed 2027 budget, P1.45 billion is earmarked for the Civil Service Commission's modernization project. But lawmakers also pressed the CSC to address the high number of contractual government workers.

There are over 1 million contractual workers in the government, and CSC officials are urging a review of policies regarding their employment and the management of job order and contract of service positions.
