The PAEPI logo/ Seal
THE TRIANGLE:
The triangle represents the Philippines as a strong republic through the PAEPI way reaching all its corners and islands. Its yellow background color manifests a brighter future for the country.
THREE SILHOUETTES WITH A BIG HEART EACH:
The three person-silhouettes represented by a big heart, head and arm show each and every individual or group, government and non-government associations, educational institutions, officials and members of the PAEPI voluntary making themselves EXTENSIONISTS willing to carry out the mission, vision, and objectives of the association in all the three main islands of the country, that is, LUZON, VISAYAS, and MINDANAO irrespective of their culture and tradition, race and religious affiliation with more emphasis for the indigenous people and/or marginal sector of society who need most the services of the EXTENSIONISTS. The three big hearts manifest the “service to others before self” principle. This is the care and key players of the association.
THREE EQUAL SECTORS OF THE CIRCLE WITH GREEN BACKGROUND:
The three equal sectors each represent the 3Es in PAEPI like the EXTENSIONISTS, the END-USERS, and the EXTENSION PROGRAM. The first sector- EXTENSIONISTS – the service and training provider and the source of the social transformation. He/she is referred to as the “Extensionists with a heart”. He/she voluntarily joins the organization more importantly for service to others, especially to the less privileged and indigenous people and/or the marginal sector of society. The second sector – END-USERS – the beneficiaries of the association objectives and programs. These trained in a specific trade or skills they have learned and developed for their own and others for economic upliftment. The third sector – EXTENSION PROGRAM – this is the lifeblood of the association without which the association will die a natural death. The Extension Program spells out the continuing existence of PAEPI and defines the welfare benefits it provides to both the EXTENSIONISTS and the END-USERS in particular and the ASSOCIATION in general.
THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE CIRCLES REPRESENTED IN YELLOW ROPE:
The big and small endless ropes tightly bind the PAEPI beneficiaries – the end-users in a strong, loving and caring relationship for the welfare and interest of the entire membership of the program with emphasis on the legal foundation, institution and by-laws wherein the association has been established.
In between the big and small rope circles is a space where the words PHILIPPINE ASSOCIATION OF EXTENSION PROGRAM IMPLEMENTERS, INC. is inscribed.

The PAEPI Expanded Mission
Extension is one of the important trilogy of functions of higher education institutions. Vis-à-vis instruction and in light of recent technological advancement, extension complements and fill sin the gaps left by instruction specially for those who, for multifarious reasons, can not access formal instruction to gain individual transformation.
Extensionists are employed in both government and non-government institutions to become agents of change. As agents of change, extensionists should process the appropriate knowledge, attitudes, skills and practices to effectively perform. Capability building if extensionist to meet the challenging tasks of changing people and communities becomes a continuous process. Furthermore, extensionists as agents of change must think and act as professionals and should be well-versed in the acceptable theories and practices of their job.
To formalize the theories and principles of extension and integrate these into actual practice, PAEPI envisions to elevate extension to the level of discipline so that its practitioners, the extensionists, become well-equipped in the science and art of extension and to become wholly integrated professional extensionists. The demand is great for an extensionist who is a true professional in the execution of his duties and functions in the work environment. In the task of meeting this demand, PAEPI’s mission is to bring extension the level of discipline and as a profession by continuous research and capability building that will contribute significantly to the development of professional extensionists with tested practices grounded on acceptable theories, principles, approaches, methodologies and techniques of community extension. PAEPI advances and advocates extension implementation as a profession, career, and a mechanism for scientific and technological innovation, productivity and sustainable development.
