What is Christian Morality?
According to what we have discussed, Morality has something to do with the manner in which we spend our daily existence. It is about knowing the difference of being right and being wrong. As a human who has intellect will given by God, we have our own standard or preferences about the principles in life that we conduct or does everyday. With knowing the difference between right and wrong. We must know how to avoid doing the wrong thing and practice or carry out the right thing to do. Whenever we encounter a situation, A person can either act wrong or choose to do the right and just.
This is where 3 Different Types of Person comes. What are the different types of Person? How do they differ?
A Moral Person - someone who is conscious about the difference between what is right and what is wrong, and still chooses to do what is the right thing to do.

"Garbage collector who returned wallet, given regular job by LGU "
Romel Solares is a volunteer garbage collector of the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) of the local government of Sto. Tomas, Batangas.He has a 7-year-old son and knows that he is not earning enough for his family. But while he was collecting trash recently, he didn't expect to find a wallet in a box AND when he opened it, there was money. Solares said that he was suprised when he opened the wallet since it contains a lot of money just by seeing it, He didn't count it and there are important things such as ID's (Senior ID, PhilHealth). Instead of being tempted, he immediately gave it to the driver and with the help of his office, they contacted the real owner.
"I didn't think about such a thing for my own because I knew. I thought that it was necessary, the owner is also senior, maybe I need to buy things," said Solares.
The wallet and money were immediately returned to the owner, Andrea Carpio Zoleta, who is a retired teacher. It was not mentioned how much the money was, but he thanked Solares profusely. Because of his loyalty to his duty, Sto. Tomas City Mayor Arth Jhun Solares rewarded him. Now, he is a regular employee of the city hall as a utility worker with a salary of more than P400 and other benefits included.
.
For him, It is much better to do the right thing on work and don't let temptation leads you to do something bad. Marasigan advice that poverty should not be a reason for people to do such a bad things.
Reflection: Mr. Solares is a moral person because, even though he is suffering from poverty, he still chooses to turn in the wallet even though he knows himself that he needs it, especially that he has a 7 yrs old son. Admitting the fact that if other people see that wallet, they might not turn it in. Mr. Solares knows that the right thing to do is to turn the money, while using the money for his own is the wrong thing to do, But still, he chooses to turn it. When he saw that the owner was a senior citizen, so he assumed that the money is for his medicine. He did not fall to be tempted to the the wrong thing because he knows that doing the right thing is the best decision.
An Immoral Person - someone who is conscious about the difference between what is right and what is wrong, but despite that he/she still did the wrong thing.

Pinlac, B. (2023, April 5). Suspected robbers who victimized students in viral video arrested | Inquirer News. INQUIRER.net. https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1751724/suspected-robbers-who-victimized-students-in-viral-video-arrested

"Suspected robbers who victimized student in viral video arrested"
Three men seen escaping on a motorcycle in a now-viral video after allegedly robbing two students at knifepoint in Quezon City have been arrested, police said on Monday.
Police said one of the suspects armed with a bladed weapon alighted from the motorcycle and approached the victims. He declared the holdup and took the victims’ personal belongings.
“As the suspects fled using their getaway motorcycle, suspect Santos aimed the knife at [the] victim…At this instant, a vlogger happened to pass by and took a video of the scampering suspects,” QCPD said in a report.
Vlogger Jett Lau Rider chased the suspects and recorded everything using his action cam. He later posted the video on Facebook, which eventually went viral and helped authorities identify and pinpoint the suspects’ location.
Reflection: The three men know that robbing is a crime and an immoral action, but they still did it. Even though we can say that they need to do it they can live, Robbing is a wrong thing to do. They know the difference between the right and wrong action of what they are going to do but still they chooses to do the action that is wrong. They are not fighting fair in life. By seeing the picture, they are adults or around 18+ if I am right, They could choose to work but they did not and the fact that they victimized a student is not right.
An Amoral Person - someone who dont have standards or who does not care whether what he/she did is wrong or riight. An Amoral Person only do things that she/he likes without thinking if its right or wrong.

The tragic dog killing in Guadalupe, Cebu City.
The tragic dog killing in Guadalupe, Cebu City.
The recent dog killing in Guadalupe Heights, Cebu City made rounds online when CDN Digital shared the story posted by the Go family. A dog is a man’s best friend, and this was especially true for Angel Go, 70, and his wife, 69, who had 8 dogs in total. The pets easily became their adopted kids after their four children had moved out to become independent individuals.
However, on the morning of May 12, Go and his wife awoke to the shocking news that five of their dogs were poisoned at the front of their house.
The name of the dogs who died, aside from Daya, were Kobe, Batman, Bruce and Kikay. When asked whether he had any idea why anyone would want to kill their dogs, Go said he had none, noting that the five were good dogs.
“Pets man to, dili man to pests,” Go said. (They were pets, not pests.)
Reflection: I don't think that the person who did this has moral or knows what moral is. Imagine killing innocent dogs just because you like it, I bet that they(the dogs) did nothing to the suspect. They are dogs, they should not be treated like this. The suspect is an Amoral person because, he/she did not even think if what he/she are going to do is moral. In fact, there is a Law in the Philippines that protects the welfare of the animals, The "Animal Welfare Act of 1998 amended by RA 10631."
