Mission:
   
Inspired by the PCAFPD's mission of providing education towards Philippine development, the PSAA commits itself in developing and producing excellent and  principled leaders dedicated for the advancement and sustainable development of the Philippines, and responsive to the present and future needs of the Filipinos.

Objectives:

· To uphold a truly autonomous and democratic Association;

· To serve as an active forum for scholars’ ideas and sentiments;

· To uphold the ideals and principles of the PCAFPD that are geared towards ensuring a well-rounded physical, cultural, social, and intellectual development for Filipino people;

· To develop social awareness and responsibility geared towards a national involvement for the development of the nation bounded in democratic principles;

· To seek other means of promoting national development other than education;
