system. Discussions focus on the effects of ethics and values in the society, the government
and especially in the PNP. Final topics deal on the development of PCR as well as the

enforcement:
 Ethics
 Morality
 Values
 Character
AUTHOR:
 Personality
 See the development of philosophical foundation of good police community and
human relation and how this development is applied in the real Philippine law
enforcement setting.
CONTENT:
A. Understanding Ethics
Etymologically, the word ethics is coined from the Greek word “ethicos”, or that which
pertains to “ethos”, the English translation of which is “custom” or “character”. From this
etymological meaning, ethics is taken to mean as a philosophical science that deals with the
morality of human conduct or human acts.
What do we mean by “morality of human acts?” Morality of human acts refers to the
goodness of the badness, the rightness or the wrongness of human acts. Source:
downloaded on https://opusdei.org/en/article/topic-27-morality-of-human-actions/
Ethics is a philosophical science. This means that ethics is one of the many disciplines in
philosophy. As a philosophical science ethics has the following divisions:
1. Descriptive or Speculative – a discipline in philosophy that posits the question: What is
the nature of reality? (Metaphysics)
2. Normative – a discipline in philosophy that posits the question: What is good and what is
bad? Or what is right action and wrong action?(Moral philosophy)
3. Practical philosophy – a discipline in philosophy which reflects upon truth in relation to
action. (Logic)
4. Critical philosophy – a discipline in philosophy that posits the question: What is truth?
(Epistemology)

B. Understanding Morality
 Moral integrity is the only true measure of what man ought to be. The most
successful professional, is nothing unless he too is morally upright. Thus, the
philosophers speak of Ethics as the “only necessary knowledge”.
AUTHOR:
 Morality is the foundation of every human society. Without civic morality,
communities perish; without personal morality their survival has no value. Every
culture admits the importance of morality as a standard of behavior. When the
moral foundation of a nation is threatened, society itself is threatened.
 Morality is the quality of human acts by which they are constituted as good, bad or
indifferent.

Relationship of morality and human existence
● There is morality because there is man.
1. Man is the only Moral Being by virtue of the following reasons.
a. Man is a being of action.
b. Man has intellect.
c. Man has will.
2. Man as an Animal
3. Man as a Rational Animal
C. Understanding Values
 There is a metaphysical dependence of values in ethics. Values have ethics as one of
their indispensable carriers. Ethics and values support each other.
 An ethics without values is hollow and shallow and, therefore, weak. Values without
ethics are paralytic. Values are values even if they are not put into practice.
 Not everything which is good is moral or ethical. Not all values (good) are necessarily
moral.
General Definition of Values
Values are defined as:
AUTHOR:
1. The object of human desire and striving; they are also the subjective assessment of a
particular object insofar as it is good.
2. The beliefs, those beliefs which we hold to be true. Thus values inspire us to struggle
towards our proximate and ultimate ends.
3. The things, person, ideas or goals which are important to life; they enable us to direct,
understand, and evaluate our lives. Thus, they refer to our ideals and our principles by
which we live. Further, values are those which we like, approve, esteem, enjoy and prize.
Properties of Values
1. Values are subjective – when we say values are subjective, we mean that the existence
and the validity of values are dependent upon on the feelings or attitudes of the
subject.
2. Values are objective – when we say values are objective, we mean that the existence
and the nature of values are independent of a subject.
3. Values are relative – this means that values have intrinsic limitation and imperfection.
4. Values are bipolar – this mean that values do not exist alone; they always exist with
their counter values. Thus, values are either positive or negative.
5. Values are hierarchical – when we say values are hierarchical, we do not classify values
but rather we rank them. When we rank values, we establish order of importance
among them. The closest meaning of ranking values is prioritizing values.
D. Understanding Human Acts
 Human acts are actions that proceed from the deliberate free will of man. In a broader
perspective, the term human acts refer to any activity performed by man.
 This activity could either be physical, spiritual, internal, or external. Moral philosophy,
however, treats the term human acts not in its broader but in its stricter meaning.
 Moral Philosophy, therefore, understands human acts as actions that are proper only
to man. These actions are those which man does not share with the brutes for human
acts are rational and willed acts.
Three-fold Elements of Human Acts
1. Knowledge
2. Freedom
3. Voluntariness
Human Acts vs. Acts of Man
Human Acts Acts of Man
It requires man’s rationality. It does not require man’s rationality.
It requires knowledge, freedom and Done without knowledge, without
voluntariness (elements of human acts) consent and involuntary.
It does not need man’s freedom and
will.
Man takes responsibility of his action It does not make man responsible for
his
action.

As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard
life and property; to protect the innocent against deception, weak against oppression or
intimidation and the peaceful against violence or disorder: and to respect the
constitutional rights of all men, liberty, equality and justice.

face of danger, scorn or ridicule; develop self-restraint and be constantly mindful of the
welfare of others. Honest in thought and in deed both my personal and official life. I will be

friendship to influence my decision; with no compromise for crime and with relentless
prosecution of criminals. I will enforce the law courteously and appropriately without fear or
favor, malice or ill will, never employing unnecessary force or violence and never accepting
gratuities in return.
I recognize the badge of my office as a symbol of public faith and I accept it as a Public trust
to be held so long as I am true to the ethics of police service. I will never engage in acts of
corruption or bribery, nor will I condone such acts by other police officers. I will cooperate
with all legally authorized agencies and their representatives in the pursuit of Justice.
I know that I alone is responsible for my own standard or professional performance and will
take every reasonable opportunity to enhance and improve my level of knowledge and
competence. I will constantly strive to achieve these objectives and ideals, dedicating
