Family Planning Program at the Local Government Level

Executive Order No. 307 of 28 February 1996 implements this Programme. It directs local governments, specifically governors and mayors, to implement the Philippine Family Planning Program, to make available information on methods of family planning, and to ensure that family planning is practised on a voluntary basis. They must also coordinate with national agencies, non-governmental organizations and the private commercial sector.
