ETHICS IN CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE SOCIETY. Edited by CRB Maboloc, PhD, Foreword by Darryl Macer, PhD, with an introduction by Daniel Mishori, PhD. WORD FROM GLOBAL SCHOLARS “This book is a timely contribution to practical ethics. It deals with challenging moral problems like environmental hazards and climate change, justice, democracy and violence, and relates these burning issues to the present state of the Filipino society. At the same time the book is firmly anchored in moral theory. It is written in a clear and accessible style and serves as an excellent educational resource.” Dr. Göran Collste Professor Emeritus of Applied Ethics Linköping University, Sweden “This is a highly original approach to teaching applied ethics. Focusing as it does on issues that are part of the lives of the students and written by local scholars, it cannot help but be engaging. I very much enjoyed reading it and am sure that the students will gain not just theoretical ethical knowledge
