MESSAGE
To highlight the Commission on Population’s commitment to public service,
we have formulated POPCOM’s Citizen Charter that reflects the
Organization’s standards in implementing our flagship programs. The Charter
also essays the guiding principles the Organization follows as we serve our
target clientele.
To ensure transparency, efficiency and effectiveness of service, we are
providing the public with the step by step procedures in accessing
POPCOM’s programs and projects; the key personnel responsible for each
step and the maximum time to conclude the process. This Charter will be
made available to POPCOM’s target clientele and downloadable from our
website at www.popcom.gov.ph.
As we work for the vision of well-empowered, happy and healthy families, it is
our hope that this Charter complements the National Government’s efforts in
improving Public Service Delivery, Transparency and Accountability.

ABOUT THE COMMISSION ON POPULATION (POPCOM)
Historical Background
The legislative roots of the Commission of Population (POPCOM) can be traced back to
December 1967, when President Ferdinand E. Marcos, together with 17 heads of state, signed the
UN Declaration of Population. It was reinforced in February 19 1969, with the issuance of
Executive Order No. 171, which established a 22-member Commission on Population to
undertake and publish studies on all aspects of the Philippine Population and to formulate policy
and program as they relate to socio-economic development. On May 15, 1970, Executive Order
No.233 was issued to officially launch the Philippine Population Program. Republic Act 6365,
enacted into law by Congress on August 16, 1971, established a National Population Policy and
officially created the POPCOM as an agency.
Presidential Decree No. 79 issued on December 8, 1972 amended RA 6365. It mandated
POPCOM to coordinate a population program, which was family planning and responsible
parenthood oriented. The core of the program then was birth control -- limiting the number of
children of each family through education and the use of contraceptives. This mandate (PD 79)
remains to be the legal basis for POPCOM to continue to push for a population program that has
expanded its focus to include not only fertility reduction but also other concerns such as family
formation, status of women, child survival, migration and urbanization, mobility, mortality, etc.
On January 30, 1987, President Corazon C. Aquino issued Executive Order No. 123 reorganizing
the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and made POPCOM one of its
attached agencies. Later, Executive Order No. 160, which amended further PD No. 79,
designated the Secretary of the DSWD as the Chairperson of the POPCOM Board of
Commissioners.
In the 1990s, POPCOM took a paradigm shift in the population program by adapting a program
that adheres to the fundamentals of human development. Executive Order No. 32 and Executive
Order No. 307 issued by President Fidel V. Ramos on October 31, 1992 emphasized the
promotion of the Philippine Family Planning Program as a priority government program.
With the new paradigm, the Philippine Population Program (PPP) was now called the Philippine
Population Management Program (PPMP). The PPMP was based on the Population-ResourcesEnvironment (PRE) framework of "securing a proper balance among the three factors to achieve
improved quality of life by creating the proper environment for more harmonious growth and by
integrating population dimension in socio-economic development and environment management
policies."

Commission on Population
"PRE means that in order to have population (P) that is healthy, educated, and gainfully employed,
etc., we need to have adequate fiscal resources (R) for education, health and other
services, and a healthy environment and natural resources base (E). With a quality
population (P), we shall be able to generate more economic growth (R) and to preserve our
natural resources and environment."
Another milestone happened on March 24, 2004 when President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued
Executive Order No. 188 transferring the Commission on Population from the National
Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) to the Office of the President and placing it
under the control and supervision of the Department of Health (DOH). This EO is primarily
responsible for making Responsible Parenting and Natural Family Planning (RP-NFP) as
the flagship program, with the Responsible Parenting Movement as the strategy, of the
Commission on Population. The RPM is a nationwide grassroots strategy to mobilize
parents/couples to make them aware of their responsibilities as parents and as citizens.
The four pillars of 1) Responsible Parenthood; 2) Respect for Human Life; 3) Birth
Spacing; and 4) Informed Choice guides the implementation of the RP-NFP/RPM.
History at a glance:
1967
1970
1971
1972
1973
1975
Seventeen heads of state including the Philippine President signed the United
Nations Declaration on Population, which stressed that “The population problem
must be recognized as a principal element in long-ranged planning if
governments are to achieve their economic goals and fulfill the aspirations of their
people.”
The Philippine Population Program was officially launched through Executive
Order No. 233. The Commission on Population (POPCOM) was mandated to
serve as the central coordinating and policy-making body of the government in
the field of population.
Congress enacted into law Republic Act 6365, known as the Population Act of the
Philippines. It stated that, “For the purpose of furthering national development,
increasing the share of each Filipino in the fruits of economic progress and
meeting the grave social and economic challenge of a high rate of population
growth, a national program of family planning which respects the religious beliefs
of the individual involved shall be undertaken.”
Presidential Decree 79 was signed directing public and private sectors to
undertake a National Family Planning Program that respects the religious
beliefs and values of individuals.
The Philippine Constitution expressed the commitment of government to deal with
the problem of rapid population growth. It provided that, “It should be the
responsibility of the state to achieve and maintain population levels most
conductive to the national welfare.”
Presidential Decree 166 further strengthened the Program. It required the
participation of private organization and individuals in the formulation and
implementation of population programs and policies.

Executive Order No. 123 attached the Population Commission to the Department
of Social and Welfare Development (DSWD), as the population planning and
coordinating agency.
The POPCOM Board of Commissioners issued a Policy Statement under the
Aquino Administration that says, “The ultimate goal of the Population Program is
the improvement of the quality of human life in a just and humane society.... The
achievement of this goal requires a recognition of the close interrelationships
among population, resources, and environmental factors.”
Executive Order No. 408 was issued placing POPCOM under the control and
supervision of the Office of the President in order to “facilitate coordination of
policies programs relative to population.”
Executive Order No. 467 was issued making POPCOM an attached agency of the
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo issued Executive Order No. 188 transferring
the Commission on Population from the NEDA to the Office of the President and
placing it under the control and supervision of the Department of Health (DOH).
The POPCOM Logo
The POPCOM logo is an inspiring reminder that the Commission is working for
the welfare of the family and the people. It is a representative form of all types of
family and people. The adjoined loops connote interrelationship of togetherness,
whether in connection with a family or with individuals in a community.
Completing the logo is a circle enveloping the symbolic family or community, signifying that
the family and the individual in the community are the focus of all efforts of POPCOM.
Programs and Projects
The Philippine Population Management Program has three (3) major components, namely:
1.
Responsible Parenthood/Reproductive Health (RP/RH) Program;
2.
Adolescent Health and Youth Development (AHYD) Program
3.
Population and Development (POPDEV) Integration;
1. The RP/RH Program is based on the four pillars of the population policy of President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, as follows:
a. Responsible Parenthood;
b. Birth Spacing;
c. Respect for Life; and
d. Total Informed Choice.
According to the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160), reproductive health services and
family planning are devolved to local government units.
4
Commission on Population
2. The AHYD Program aims to improve the total well-being (physical, emotional, spiritual, and
economic status) of young people aged 15-24 years old.
3. The Population and Development Planning (POPDEV) aims to integrate population concerns at
all levels of development planning.
The gender and resource mobilization components of the program cut across these major
components.
Roles and Functions
POPCOM, the agency mandated to be the overall policy making, coordinating and monitoring
body of the PPMP, has the following roles:
Policy formulation and plan development. POPCOM will spearhead the development and
preparation of the Philippine population policies and operational plans in consultation with

contributions to well being.
Data and Information Management. POPCOM will take the lead in developing a national
database to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action. It
will serve as a clearinghouse and information resource center on population and family
planning, and will provide coordinated direction to all participating agencies in the
development of their plans and programs. It will document and disseminate progress made
