In this upcoming election, Raphael A.

Pangalangan analyzes
how Mr. Duterte managed his position as president for the past
6 years in his piece. Mr. Duterte may not have been a
demonstrably bad option, but that does not mean he was the
morally correct one. After all, the man ran on a law-and-order
platform, promising to feed criminals' bodies to Manila Bay's
fish! If that reveals a lot about him, then voting in his favor
must reveal a lot more about us. It has also been a concern for
public health and public morals in the last two years of the
pandemic's existence. People are recommended to wear
facemasks and get vaccinated while the COVID-19 pandemic
has been declared. Nonetheless, the vocabulary developed
from individualistic to communitarian throughout time. Pope
Francis himself urged people to get vaccinated out of love for
themselves and their neighbors in August 2021. Because "their
health helps maintain the health of others," he claims, getting
vaccinated is a "moral imperative." Even health departments
around the world prioritize health care professionals because
"their health helps preserve the health of others," a typical
utilitarian reason. Raphael A. Pangalangan also claims that our
priorities express our moral pulse, whether it's the vaccine we
acquire or the vote we cast.
