Population Policy
Manual is a compendium of selected laws and regulations issued
by the Philippine Government. Four volumes were developed
to respond to the need for consolidating systematically all
existing population and population-related policies.
|
|
Volume
1 presents all policy statements promulgated by the
government and the cooperating agencies that have direct and
indirect influence upon the population program.
Volume 2 presents the compilation of all
statutes, decrees, executive orders, proclamations and other
Presidential issuances, department/ministry memoranda and
circulars promulgated to promote the population program and
strengthen its implementation. |
|
 |
Volume 3
is a compilation of selected laws and regulations issued by
the Philippine Government after the adoption of the 1972 Revised
Population Act of the Philippines (P.D. 79). |
|
 |
Volume 4
contains selected sectoral population-related laws and regulations
that are classified into seven (7) parts namely Reproductive
Health and Family Planning, Urbanization, Land Use and Migration,
Human Resource Development, Gender and Development, Water
Resource Management, Food Security and others. |
|
| The importance
of these volumes cannot be overemphasized. In the first place,
they are historical documents that trace the evolution of
the national consciousness regarding the various population
and population-related issues and concerns. Secondly, these
volumes will serve as reference materials for population managers,
decision-makers, fieldworkers and other program stakeholders
in their efforts to respond to the needs of Filipino through
the Philippine Population Management Program. |
