This is not a post that shows sample tests about the DILG Pre-Qualifying Exam but rather a post of my experiences when I took the exam and twelve things to know about the DILG PQE.

I took the Pre-Qualifying Exam (PQE) today at the Baguio City National High School Library. I counted a total of 61 examinees, including me, who bravely took it unaware of its contents.

I only remembered the number of items and corresponding minutes and not a specific question of the exam inasmuch as I wanted to remember. What is the Pre-Qualifying Exam or the DILG PQE?

It was (and is) a gruelling exam that will really exhausts you, the applicant/examinee.

It was (and is) a time-pressured exam which will rattle you once the proctor announce the remaining time during the examination.

It is the national qualifying exam of the Department of Interior and Local Government.

It is a battery of tests aimed for applicants who wants to join and become part of DILG.

It is a continuous exam with a duration of two to three hours.

It consists of four parts, namely:

Logical Reasoning Tests -

55 minutes for 100 items.

Language Tests - 

3 parts. 

Part 1, PD (Paragraph Development), 7 minutes for 10 items; 

Part 2, RC (Reading Comprehension), 13 minutes for 22 items; and

Part 3, LT (Language Test), 10 minutes for 20 items.

Verbal Tests - 

3 parts. 

Part 1, (Analogy), 6 minutes for 20 items; 

Part 2, (Analogy, requires 2 answers), 6 minutes for 20 items; and 

Part 3, (Mathematical Test, no choices, input your answer after solving using provided scratch paper), 10 minutes for 20 items.

Non-Verbal Tests - 

3 parts.

Abstract part.

Part 1, 3 minutes for 16 items; 

Part 2, 3 minutes for 16 items; and 

Part 3, 4 minutes for 18 items.

It is usually administered every last Friday of the month in the DILG Central Office located in Quezon City but in our case, it was scheduled in Baguio City and a representative from DILG Central Office officiated the examination.

In the case of my application, I had to write a request for endorsement to take the PQE and also indicating that it is a prerequisite for non-DILG applicants.

Passing the exam does not mean you are hired already. According to the DILG employee, there may be another exam to be taken depending on the position applied for. It also depends on the assessment of the regional or district office.

You must be prepared to read fast and analyze quickly for the logical reasoning test.

Mathematics is still a part of this exam and you need to know how to compute because guessing will definitely not help you on this part of the exam because you need to write an answer and there are no choices to select from.

And really? Just say that you hate disabled-- sorry-- “those with pre-existing conditions”-- and go. You won’t cover the costs of living at a facility, but you’ll charge us four times as much to stay at an “AHIP approved” facility. You won’t cover the cost of actually helping the DGD community, but you’ll approve autism “cures” and allow insurances to condone the literal poisoning of thousands of vulnerable people.

We have to be on guard at all times for policies dressed up in nice words. Look for the dogwhistle terms!!!!

The Php22.9-billion ayuda or assistance for residents affected by the Enhanced Community Quarantine in NCR Plus area will be distributed to local government units (LGUs) beginning on Monday.

Interior Undersecretary Bernardo Florece, DILG officer-in-charge, said the Bureau of Treasury will release it directly to the concerned LGUs.

Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya also confirmed this and added that he expects LGUs would start the distribution of ECQ ayuda to their constituents by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Inquire reported that the DILG ordered LGUs to issue an executive order (EO) detailing the process of distribution of assistance to their constituents.

The aid must be given “15 calendars days upon receipt of the funds if the assistance is in cash or within 30 calendar days if assistance is in-kind” according to DILG.

Earlier, the DILG and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) issued the guidelines for the distribution of financial assistance worth PHP1,000 per individual, with a maximum of PHP4,000 per family to residents of Metro Manila, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna and Bulacan.
