The Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA) proudly announces its receipt of the prestigious Plaque of Appreciation from the Career Executive Service Board (CESB), recognizing the Authority as an Outstanding Partner for Learning 2025.
The award was formally conferred during the CESB Human Resource Managers Fellowship Meeting and Learning Session held on Tuesday, December 3, 2025. This recognition celebrates LRTA’s sustained and invaluable support and its significant contributions to the CESB’s crucial learning and development initiatives, which are designed to enhance the capabilities and competencies of public servants nationwide.
This year’s accolade marks LRTA as a consistent honoree of the CESB since 2019, underscoring a deep, long-term commitment to fostering professionalism and excellence within the bureaucracy.
“Receiving this Plaque of Appreciation for the sixth consecutive year is a profound honor for the LRTA family,” said a spokesperson for the Authority. “It validates our dedication not only to improving people’s mobility through a world-class, inclusive light rail system but also to cultivating a culture of resilience, integrity, professionalism, and service excellence within our organization and the wider government sector. We believe that investing in the continuous learning of public servants is key to a resilient and progressive nation.”
The Plaque of Appreciation was graciously accepted on behalf of the Authority by two key representatives:
Mr. Nelson Ronald D. Ambrosio, who is also the esteemed CES Advocate 2025 awardee.
Ms. Ma. Lourdes Caraan of the LRTA’s Human Resource Management Division (HRMD).
The award was presented by CESB Executive Director Maria Marcy Cosare Ballesteros, who commended LRTA for its unwavering partnership in advancing the learning agenda for the Career Executive Service Officers (CESOs) and other public officials.
The LRTA remains committed to its mission of providing safe, efficient, and inclusive light rail transport. This partnership with the CESB reinforces the Authority’s operational mandate with an equally strong focus on institutional development, ensuring that its personnel are equipped with the skills and ethical foundation necessary to deliver world-class service to the commuting public.
The LRTA extends its deepest gratitude to the CESB for this recognition and looks forward to continuing this fruitful collaboration in the coming years.
