A book that can be traced back many years is bound to leave a long trail of intellectual and other debts. As my debts span numerous countries, a multitude of institutions, and countless individuals, it is not feasible to name them all here. The fieldwork itself was made possible by the financial assistance of the Nuffield Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council in the United Kingdom.

If this is a book that seeks to promote theoretical understanding around notions of moral capital and moral entrepreneurship in relation to nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), it is nonetheless a work that is embedded in empirical research conducted in 1996 and 1997 in the Philippines. I am thus very grateful to many individuals and institutions that helped facilitate that research. My main research base was at the Environmental Research Division (subsequently renamed Environmental Science for Social Change) located at the Manila Observatory on the edge of the Ateneo de Manila University campus. Peter Walpole has long been the guiding force at the ERD/ESSC and I owe him a particular debt of gratitude. He not only ensured that my accommodation and office needs were amply met, but also provided me with critical introductions into the Philippine NGO world without which this study would have been impossible. Peter also managed to fit in the time to offer constructive criticism of both the theoretical and empirical foundations of this book. He was not alone. Other staff at the ERD provided intellectual and/or practical support. I am especially indebted to Gilbert Braganza, who helped get me started in Manila and who provided thoughtful and always constructive commentary on both the moral capital perspective and the Philippine case studies. Mrs. Cornelio meanwhile provided all of the administrative support that I could have wished for as I sought to deal with the inevitably complicated logistics of fieldwork. Thanks also go too to the British Council for its willingness to finance the development of an institutional link between King's College Geography and ERD. This link enabled me to conduct initial research in Manila in January 1996 and has been a fruitful conduit for research collaboration between the two institutions more generally.
