title: Executive Order No. 160, 13 April 1987.
abstract: This Order amends Presidential Decree No. 79 with respect to the composition and functions of the Population Board of Commissioners.

The major changes made by the Order are a) increasing the membership of the Board and including in it private sector representatives; and b) increasing the powers of the Chairman of the Board, in particular, by authorizing the Chairman "to review and, with the concurrence of the Board, authorize major policies and programs as a whole."
