Everything Dakila does, and everything it does not.
Grouped the way CSC PRIME-HRM groups human resource systems, because that is the vocabulary your office already uses. Each module says plainly whether it is in the product today or built when an agency engages. There is no third state and we publish no dates.
Personnel records
The 201 file, the Personal Data Sheet, and the funded-position structure the rest of government HR hangs off.
Personal Data Sheet
The PDS entered once, kept by HR, and never retyped. Every employee reads and prints their own.
In the product todayPlantilla and PSIPOP
Your funded positions as a real register — item number, salary grade, step, authorised salary, incumbent.
In the product today201 file and document requests
Employees request a Certificate of Employment or Service Record; HR fulfils it without opening a filing cabinet.
In the product today
Recruitment, Selection and Placement
From a vacant plantilla item through the hiring pipeline to a filled position and an onboarded employee.
Recruitment and onboarding
Job openings through applicants to a hired, onboarded employee.
In the product todayAppointments and personnel actions
The full CSC appointment-type engine — detail, secondment, reappointment, reinstatement, reemployment, coterminous, casual and contractual.
Built on engagement
Learning and Development
Training events, participation, results and the L&D record that feeds the PDS.
Performance Management
The CSC Strategic Performance Management System and its rating cascade.
Rewards and Recognition
Payroll, statutory contributions, leave credits and the annual filings that prove all three were done correctly.
Government payroll
A full monthly or semi-monthly cycle, with the contributions and allowances government actually pays.
In the product todayLeave and the CSC leave card
Vacation and sick credits that accrue the way CSC says they accrue, on a cumulative ledger.
In the product todayBIR annual filings
The annual filings, generated from the payroll you already ran rather than rebuilt in a spreadsheet.
In the product todayStep increment and NOSI
Three-year step increments, gated on performance rating, with the notice and any retroactive differential.
Built on engagement
Daily operations
What every employee and approver touches on an ordinary Tuesday.
Attendance and daily time record
Check-in from a phone, a monthly calendar, and corrections that route for approval.
In the product todayEmployee self-service and approvals
The reason people open it: payslips, leave, claims and one approvals queue for managers.
In the product todayBiometric device integration
Your existing biometric terminals feeding attendance directly.
Built on engagement
On PRIME-HRM, since we have used its vocabulary throughout.
We organise the product around the four PRIME-HRM systems because it is the language your office thinks in, and because retrofitting that structure later would be disruptive. We do not, however, sell you a maturity level. CSC paused PRIME-HRM accreditation in 2025 for a program upgrade, so a promised advance to Silver or Gold this cycle has no live scoring behind it.
PRIME-HRM is the architecture here. It is not the urgency.
The vocabulary on this site
We write these pages in the language your HR office already uses, which means an ICT head or an agency head can hit a term cold. Every acronym this site uses is expanded below. Nothing here is a term we do not actually use.
- CSC
- Civil Service Commission
- The central personnel agency of the Philippine government. Sets the forms, the eligibility rules and the leave rules this product is built to.
- PDS / CS Form 212
- Personal Data Sheet
- The eight-section CSC form that is the foundation of every government personnel record. Four pages when printed.
- 201 file
- The employee's personnel file
- Named for its old records-management number. Holds appointments, service record, disclosures and supporting documents.
- Plantilla
- The register of funded positions
- A position is a funded item with a number, a salary grade and a step — not a job title. Generic HR software gets this distinction wrong.
- PSIPOP
- Personal Services Itemization and Plantilla of Personnel
- The formal itemisation of those funded positions, filled and vacant, that an agency reports on.
- PRIME-HRM
- Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management
- The CSC framework that groups HR into four systems. We use it as structure, never as a maturity promise.
- ORAOHRA
- Omnibus Rules on Appointments and Other Human Resource Actions
- The CSC rules governing every appointment type and personnel action.
- SPMS
- Strategic Performance Management System
- The CSC performance framework. Its rating cascade runs office to division to individual as OPCR, DPCR and IPCR.
- SSL
- Salary Standardization Law
- Sets the salary grade and step structure most of government is paid under. Chartered agencies outside it run their own compensation plan.
- NBC
- National Budget Circular
- The DBM issuance carrying the salary schedule that applies to your agency. Yours loads at onboarding; we ship none.
- NOSI
- Notice of Salary Increment
- The notice issued when an employee reaches a step increment, normally every three years and gated on performance.
- PERA
- Personnel Economic Relief Allowance
- A standard allowance line on a government payslip. Its absence is the tell that software was not built for government.
- GSIS
- Government Service Insurance System
- The pension and insurance fund for government employees. The counterpart of SSS in the private sector.
- DBM
- Department of Budget and Management
- Approves and funds the plantilla, and asks for filled-against-vacant reporting.
- COA
- Commission on Audit
- Audits government spending. The reason a cumulative leave ledger matters more than a remaining balance.
- HRMO
- Human Resource Management Officer
- The officer who runs HR in an agency, and the person this site is written for.
