"PNAC is the central advisory, planning and policy-making body for the comprehensive and integrated HIV/AIDS preventionand control program in the Philippines."

The Philippine National AIDS Council (PNAC) was created through Executive Order 39 signed by the President Fidel V. Ramos on December 3, 1992. EO 39 mandated the PNAC to "advise the President of the Republic of the Philippines regarding policy development for the prevetiong and control of AIDS..." As an advisory body, although recommendations were made to the President, these were not necessarily acted upon. PNAC, however, served as a venue for intensive policy discussion between government and NGOs. This ensured that policies to be formulated and actions to be taken truly respond to Human Immunodefiency Virus (HIV) and AIDS as a social development issue requiring multi-sectoral attention.

Vision
A fully empowered nation where different individuals and sectors work in partnership to prevent HIV transmission and to lessen its impact on affected persons in particular, nad society in general.

Mission
PNAC shall lead in developing and sustaining an enabling enviroment where individuals and sectors can appropriately, effectively and expeditously respond to the many challenges of HIV/AIDS.PNAC shall foster commitment, coordination, cooperation and collaboration.
