Hi Schyler.

The Design Center does not currently have the information you need on the Philippine creative economy. However, may we refer you to the following for the information you need:

NATIONAL COMMISSION ON CULTURE AND THE ARTS
[email protected]

CREATIVE ECONOMY COUNCIL OF THE PHILIPPINES
please visit their facebook page

There is no unified/collective  information on the Philippines creative economy right now as there is a loose group of agencies (Design Center, CIITEM, NCCA, BOI, CCP, NEDA, DepEd, National Book Development Board) and private groups (CECP, Adobo Magazine) and creative individuals in their private capacity that/who are working to forward the agenda of the Philippine creative economy. The CECEP, for instance, is composed of a group of passionate creative individuals who are working on a bill on the creative economy.

You may contact the agencies i mentioned for information on specific branches of the creative economy for information. 

The Design Center, on the other hand, is working towards the approval of a project that aims to map the Philippine design industry.

We wish your project a success.
