Proportions of thesepopulations, who correctly identified ways of preventing sexual transmission, and rejectedmajor myths and misconceptions remained below 45 percent.In an age-specific analysis of the 2009 IHBSS data, those under the age of 18 fared the weakestacross knowledge scores. Only 29 percent of MSM younger than 18 correctly answered HIVrelatedknowledge questions compared to 41 percent of those aged 25 and older. Similarly,correct knowledge among PWID aged under 18 was 20 percent as opposed to 43 percent amongthose aged 25 and older.Use of condoms during last sex among populations surveyed was very low, especially amongMSM and PWID (below 30 percent). The percentage was even lower among MSM under the ageof 18 (below 20 percent). Younger MSM cited unavailability of condoms as reason for theirinfrequent and/or non-use.

COUNTRY PROGRESS REPORTP h i l i p p i n e sSECTION 3.0NATIONAL RESPONSE TO THE EPIDEMICOne National Coordinating BodyThe PNAC was created on 3 December 1992 through Executive Order No. 39, and wasreconstituted by virtue of Republic Act 8504, or the AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998, to“enable the Council to oversee an integrated and comprehensive approach to HIV/AIDSprevention and control in the Philippines.” The PNAC is composed of 26 representatives from17 government agencies, two organizations of medical/health professionals, six nongovernmentorganizations involved in HIV prevention, treatment, care and support, and oneorganization of persons dealing with HIV and AIDS.As the central advisory, planning and policy-making body on HIV and AIDS in the Philippines,PNAC’s core functions include among others, the development of a comprehensive nationalAIDS strategic plan with “indicators and benchmarks against which PNAC shall monitor itsimplementation.” In addition, PNAC is mandated to “evaluate the adequacy of and makerecommendations regarding the utilization of national resources for the prevention and controlof HIV/AIDS.”One National Strategic PlanThe AIDS Medium-Term Plan (AMTP) serves as the country’s common action framework andaccountability tool on AIDS. The Plan intends to guide policy decisions and programmepriorities (including resource allocation) of stakeholders at national and local levels –government, civil society and development partners.The Fifth AMTP for 2011-2016 was developed by the PNAC through a broad-based andparticipatory process. The Plan is the country’s roadmap towards “Getting to Zero.” ThePhilippine Government is signatory to the “Political Declaration on HIV/AIDS: Intensifying OurEfforts to Eliminate HIV/AIDS” (United Nations General Assembly High Level Meeting on AIDS,10 June 2011), and the “ASEAN Declaration of Commitment: Getting to Zero New HIV Infection,Zero Discrimination, Zero AIDS-Related Deaths” (19th ASEAN Summit, 17 November 2011).The Fifth AMTP aims to achieve, by 2016, “fewer HIV infections” and “improved quality life forPLHIV” through three key results at the outcome level, and 12 key results at the output level,which are laid out on Table 3.1.TABLE 3.1The Fifth AMTP Matrix of Results at Impact, Outcome, Output and Input LevelsInput Output Outcome ImpactFundsALLOCATEDPolicy INPLACE1.1.
