EO No. 271 is an amendment; it does not create a new commission but specifically amends the Commission on Population by adjusting the membership designation of a particular office-holder.
Because the identified office-holder determines who has authority to participate, vote, or represent an institution in commission deliberations; incorrect designation could lead to questions about validity of actions or membership.
It relates to population policy administration, specifically the governance and membership of the Commission on Population and its linkage to media information and education through the National Media Production Center.
