About the cover: The interlocking squares, representing the mental, physical, social, and spiritual dimensions of life, also illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of this journal. The palm fronds and the alpha and omega are the traditional AIIAS logo, to which are added the blue ocean waves which surround the Philippines. Cover design by Mirriam A. Carlos-Pamula.
