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.

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
