As a social institution, RCC is aware that it is in a potentially effective position to initiate projects, which could promote the well-being of the communities in its environs. Thus, in 1987, RCC organized the Mother Rita Barceló Outreach and Livelihood Corporation (MRBOLC) as its community extension service unit. MRBOLC undertook community-building projects and organized communities with a view of contributing to their becoming cohesive and self-reliant. MRBOLC also extended financial, technical and consultancy services to micro cottage and small-scale business enterprises in the province.
