Business Ethics Challenges in the Philippines

Basic education’s usual approach to ethics


teaching in the Philippines has been generally
pedantic. Teachers and parents repeatedly admonish
us about inherited do’s and don’ts, perhaps thinking
that the repetition would drive us ethical. In a country
where much is needed to combat what critics call
endemic corruption, moral numbness has crept in.
Understanding Philippine Cultural Values
• Underlying life in the Philippines is cultural values
of social propriety, camaraderie, modesty, and
gratitude. In their most noble form, these values
bind Philippine society together.

• In the workplace, however, they can provide


complex challenges, particularly for foreign
employers.
Understanding Philippine Cultural Values
• An important part of Philippine culture is
pakikisama, which in general means togetherness,
camaraderie, or what sociologists call the need for
people in the Philippines to maintain smooth
interpersonal relations.
• The amount of gratitude that must be expressed in
returning a favor is not quantified with utang na
loob.

The Fundamental Principles of Business Culture

The hierarchy is vertical and the most senior person in a


company approves all final decisions. Nevertheless, group
consensus is necessary for all decisions before it reaches
the most senior person.

Decisions are likely to take longer to be reached as most


people will give their opinion on a matter. However, at the
end of the day, they will defer to higher-ranking positions.
