PJPP promotes the broadening of discourse on public policy to accommodate more dynamic contemporary policy realities in the Philippines as well as in developing and/or industrialized countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

PJPP publishes policy research covering the following major themes: education, paradigms of development, social and political change, strategic studies, ethnicity and religion, health, and science and technology. The Journal also accommodates scholarly work on issues such as peace and conflict transformation, migration, constitutional change, and disaster risk reduction and management.

The Journal has published key research projects conducted by university faculty members across the UP System and has evolved to be a platform for examining contemporary social, cultural, economic, and political issues in the Philippines, Southeast Asia, and East Asia.
