    1) The student reflects on an ethical issue regarding the construction of the Torre de Manila building in the Philippines, also known as the "National Photobomber". 2) The building violated Manila zoning laws by exceeding limits on floor area ratio and burdening utilities and vehicle capacity in the area. 3) This led Senator Pia Cayetano to call for possible demolition of the building, which the student agrees is valid due to the building owner DMCI Homes ignoring zoning laws and public protest against the building.

    Ethics
    UNIT 1: WHAT IS ETHICS?
    ACTIVITY 1
    REFLECTION PAPER

    When I was a kid, my goal was already fixed to the program in


    engineering or having a career in engineering. I always thought
    that it was easy because of my acquired skills in math and as I
    grow up, I learned that it was not easy and I need to work hard
    more considering the decisions I made during my senior high school
    days. I am now in college with the program in engineering and now
    is struggling to learn the program especially during the pandemic
    wherein there are a lot of factors that affects a student in
    learning. I learned that culture can affect the way or how can a
    building be made which can truly affect the way of thinking of an
    engineer. One of the factors that can truly effect on how a
    building is made is through ethics wherein it states that ethics
    can be defined as the practical science dealing with human
    conflicts. It is where one has to know the theories or principles
    of knowing what is right and what is wrong and good and bad actions.
    As stated in the module. One example of an ethical issue related
    to my program Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering that can be
    found in the Philippines is the famous “National Photobomber of
    Philippines.”
    “Torre de Manila” the name of the National Photobomber in the
    Philippines, the construction of Torre de Manila has been hit for
    violating Manila City zoning laws where it stated that its floor-
    to-area ratio far exceeds the limit set for its location, thereby
    burdening the utilities and vehiclc capacity of the area. It can
    lead to a possible demolition considering these statements that
    were used against DMCI homes the one in charge in the making of
    the building by Sen. Pia Cayetano, (Randa, 2014). I can say that
    it is a pretty valid to do a possible demolition on the building.
    It falls in one of the moral principles of ethics – Precriptivity
    and it also falls in the category of Ignorance, Ignorance in its
    object primarily the Ignorance of law and penalty that the DMCI
    Homes did not obey in making the building and did it anyway and
    the locals together with the senator did not approve the decision
    they made. Other than the zoning laws that DMCI Homes did not obey
    they also chosen to trivialize the mounting public protest against
    Torre de Manila by claiming that all photographs showing its condo
    tower photobombing the Rizal Monument were manipulated or merely

    Ethics
    used an application called “Photoshop”. The locals and the senator
    did not like the statement released by DMCI Homes and was really
    keen on demolishing the said building.
    I can say that ethics is really the practical science dealing
    with human conflict and it is shown in this ethical issue on the
    National Photobomber of the Philippines. We also can conclude that
    there are a lot of ethical issues to be investigated in our country
    and to prevent this we can study more on Ethics and apply it to
    the real world.
