given the unethical communication practice of a certain company of concealing the non-
remittance of deducted premiums from employee’s salaries to the SSS or the Social
Security System (or Government Service Insurance System in the case of the
government offices), the company’s accountability to its employees is undoubtedly
affected. Compare this situation of an organization that observe ethical practice and
remits the employees monthly contributions to the SSS or GSIS regularly. It is important
to note that one’s behavior should be regulated by honest, decency, truthfulness,
sincerity, and moral uprightness.
