Ethics in Contemporary Philippine Society released

ETHICS IN CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE SOCIETY. Edited by CRB Maboloc, PhD, Foreword by Darryl Macer, PhD, with an introduction by Daniel Mishori, PhD.

But the point is, I just want to emphasize, not all get to ask about those things because perhaps life for other people is comfor
