“Book Descriptions: Elements of Filipino Ethics departs from the traditional approach which applies ethical principles in solving moral problems. It also avoids the other extreme of situation ethics. Rather this study tries to stay in the middle by solving ethical problems through the priority of Filipino values.

In the light of this approach, it gives ethical guidelines on problems such as issues on private property, justice, advertisement, education, marriage, ecology — a topic hardly touched in most manuals of ethics.

The author writes in the epilogue: "Traditional ethics has posed a frame of mind and problems were asked from that perspective. A new viewpoint gives an entirely new way of solving the problems, Numerous difficulties debated because Vatican II gave an entirely new horizon to the issues raised…In a similar way, this study on Filipino ethics approached the problems from a different, non-traditional perspective."”
