CRC Institutes
CRC will not be CRC without the people behind it.
The strength of the foundation lies in the sought-after expertise of
its board of advisers, fellows, and researchers in each of its
institutes.

Economics Education Institute
The Institute aims to promote responsible citizenship through improved economic literacy.
Ordinary citizens need to have a clearer understanding of the economic issues that confront the nation and a greater appreciation of the role of economic freedom in crafting the solutions to these problems.
Tourism Institute
The growth and development of the tourism industry is imperative in the context of regional and countryside development. It generates employment (roughly 2.3 million jobs), trade and business opportunities. It aslo promotes strong backward and forward linkages with other industries such as transport, real estate and property development-- hotels/resorts, gift shops, restaurants, jewelry, construction among others.
Transport and Logistics Institute
Given the archipelagic set-up of the country, the only way to link each and every island is through a seamless transportation system. An efficient transport system will pave the way to more productive logistics processes as moving inputs/goods will no longer be hindered by our country's geographical nature.
Asian Center for Democracy Institute
The Asian Center for Democracy (ACSD) is a project of CRC that handles specifically projects that are political in nature. In the past year, the institute has been dealing closely with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAF) in the party building efforts of the ruling LAKAS-NUCD-UMDP. ACSD and KAF have been instrumental in the definition of LAKAS' ideological platform through the organization of numerous conferences, studies, and roundtable discussions.

Social Enterprise Institute
Social enterprises are organized not only for economic purposes, but more importantly for social development among many communities. Their governance and social ownership are normally based on participation by stakeholder groups, characteristically formed by a common bond or interest. Social objectives also vary in such areas of job creation, education and training or provision of local services. They are seen as agents of poverty alleviation and community building – constantly evolving and obviously growing in numbers.
