Pinoy ethics

What is the Filipino 'world view' on the environment?

As a Filipino, I've always hoped there's a document to affirm my own theories on how we relate to the environment. I serendipitously stumbled on Environmental Ethics, Chapter 8 of Leonardo Mercado's book on The Filipino Mind.

My education and professional training in project evaluation has entailed me to think logically from a Western perspective. Do we capture the Filipino's environmental psyche as we plan and implement our projects? Do indigenous knowledge, skills, and practices fit snugly into the so-called logical framework?
