"The expressed mandate of the Philippine Population Association is the advancement of the study of population in general, and of the Philippine population in particular. While there is value in the study of population for study's sake, the mandate of the Philippine Population Association goes beyond: it is the advancement of population studies designed to produce knowledge that, when applied, will have beneficial impact on the well-being of the populations studied"

-Fr. Wilhelm Flieger, SVD. Welcome remarks as PPA President during the First National Convention of the PPA and General Assembly of the Health Research Network, February 3, 1993.

It provides a forum for the conceptual, methodological and empirical quantitative and qualitative analyses of the vital events of human population—fertility, mortality, morbidity and migration—including their movements, interrelationships, complexities, consequences and impact. Its scientific information base is expected to help improve population and population-related policies, programs, teaching and research, towards enhancing the quality of life and well-being of all.

Manuscripts addressing any of the foregoing topics or themes may be considered for the Review’s next two issues. Please follow these instructions:

1. Authors should submit original manuscripts only. Whether a full length research article (5,000-6,000 words), a research note (2,000-3,000 words), or a book review (1,000-2,000 words), submitted manuscripts must not have been published nor being considered for publication elsewhere.

2. Submitted articles must bear the following information.
