Fakta

When crisis strikes, do our moral codes stand firm—or crumble beneath the weight of survival? In this riveting exploration, A.A. Castor reveals how the COVID-19 pandemic tested our deepest values, transforming bustling communities in the Philippines and beyond into crucibles of ethical tension. From the haunting stories of betrayal and greed to awe-inspiring acts of heroism and solidarity, Castor uncovers the hidden forces that shape our decisions when everything we hold dear hangs in the balance.

Drawing on real-life accounts, historical parallels, and philosophical insights, this book paints a vivid portrait of humanity at its breaking point—and at its most compassionate. You'll journey through desperate hoarding sprees and selfless community pantries, witness neighbors turn on each other and frontline workers rise to unprecedented challenges, and wrestle with the question: Can empathy truly conquer fear when survival is at stake?

Why I Am Writing This Book is not just a chronicle of crisis; it's a clarion call to examine our own moral resilience. Castor challenges you to reflect on what happens when the lines between right and wrong blur, urging readers to forge a future where ethical fortitude endures—even in the darkest moments. If you're seeking an unflinching look at how adversity can both shatter and strengthen our shared humanity, and if you long for hope in the face of uncertainty, this book offers a powerful roadmap to navigate the moral storms ahead.
