The three award categories under the Search are the Presidential Lingkod Bayan, Outstanding Public Officials and Employees or the Dangal ng Bayan and CSC Pagasa.There are three award categories under the Search: the Presidential Lingkod Bayan (PLB), the Outstanding Public Officials and Employees or Dangal ng Bayan (DnB), and the CSC Pagasa.

The CSC Pagasa Award is conferred on an individual or group of five (5) members for outstanding contributions that directly benefit more than one department of the government. The DnB Award is given to an individual for performance of an extraordinary act or public service and consistent demonstration of exemplary ethical behavior.
