    4 The Filipino Value System and Business Ethics

    Uploaded by

    rommel legaspi
    This document discusses business ethics challenges in the Philippines. It provides historical context by explaining how family-oriented laws, Filipino values like family closeness and gratitude, and influences from Confucian and Christian ethics have shaped the country's value system. This value system presents business ethics challenges. Specifically, corruption remains endemic, moral numbness is common, and a culture of indifference perpetuates unethical behavior, making business ethics learning particularly difficult. Unless moral outrage and accountability increase, corrupt practices will continue across generations.

    Some of the major Filipino values mentioned that affect business are family closeness, politeness, hospitality, gratitude, social acceptance, and trust in God.

    The Filipino Value System
    and Business Ethics
    Challenges
    Lesson Objectives
    • To provide a historical background to business
    ethics in the Philippines
    • To explain the major Filipino values affecting
    business
    • To enumerate the various business ethics
    challenges flowing from these Filipino business
    values
    Factors That Affect Filipino
    Business Ethics
    1. Family-oriented laws prevailing in the country
    Example: The Family Code of the Philippines

    2. Filipino values
    Examples: family closeness and solidarity
    (pagpapahalaga sa pamilya), politeness (use of po or ho
    or opo), hospitality (tuloy po kayo), gratitude (utang na
    loob), social acceptance (pakikisama, amor propio,
    economic security, pagmamay-ari) and trust in God
    (pananalig sa Diyos, Bathala or Maykapal, and Bahala
    na)
    3. Confucian ethics
    This is brought about by the Chinese influence on Filipino
    culture which is made possible by the migration to the
    Philippines of many Chinese centuries ago.
    4. The concepts of sin (kasalanan) and virtuous
    action (mabuting gawa)
    These concepts are clearly anchored on Christian faith and
    therefore subscribe to the morality encapsulated in specific
    items in the Ten Commandments.
    A sin is something forbidden on A virtuous action is a
    account of its being primarily an conscious and deliberate
    offense against God, a violation of his deed performed by man in
    manifest will, and secondarily an accordance with God’s will.
    offense against one’s fellow or even
    against oneself in his irrevocable
    dignity as a creature or a child of God.
    Business Ethics References to a Wide
    Range of Concept Pairs in Filipino
    On the Immediate Level
    • What is right or correct (tama) and what is
    wrong (mali)
    • What is allowed or legal (pwede or hindi
    bawal) and what is prohibited or illegal
    (bawal) in trade or business
    (pangangalakal)
    On Another Level
    • What is good (mabuti) and what is bad
    (masama)
    This, however, refers to a highly utilitarian and
    instrumental sense rather than in an absolute moral
    sense, meaning, what is good in business is what is
    profitable and brings prosperity; whereas what is bad is
    what constitutes a losing proposition.
    Business Ethics Challenges in
    Ethics teaching in basic education has been generally pedantic.

    the Philippines
    Corruption in the Philippines seems to refuse to go away despite highly
    publicized criticisms from local and international media, multilateral
    funding agencies, and prominent local academics.
    In a country where much is needed to combat
    Average Filipinos have become immune to unethical behavior among
    endemic business
    high-ranking corruption, moral because
    and government officials numbness,
    only a few of
    underdeveloped
    them are sanctioned andcapability
    imprisoned; for
    mostmoral reasoning,
    go scot-free with their
    misdeeds promptly forgotten.
    culture of indifference, and the lack of moral
    couragethesemake
    Sometimes misbehaving,business ethicsare admired,
    should-be role models learning
    even emulated, despite the misdeeds they commit.
    particularly challenging in the Philippines.
    THE LONG-TERM RESULT? Future generations of officials never learn
    the lesson that their power and offices are not their personal entitlement
    but a duty to communities. Without moral indignation and vigilance,
    unethical behavior perpetuates.
    Discussion Questions
    1. How would you explain the historical
    background to business ethics in the
    Philippines?
    2. How would you explain the major Filipino
    values affecting business?
    3. What are the various business ethics
    challenges flowing from these Filipino
    business values?
