"Poor man returns money he needed for very sick son", from the Inquirer newspaper published the news about Darwin Calvario, 39, tricycle driver who returned a bag with only P25,000.00 and P270,000.00 check. The bag was left in the tricycle seat that Calvario was driving. In those days she desperately needed a large amount of money for her two-year-old son who had to be operated on immediately because the stool was closed. From his income it is not possible to raise the amount needed for the operation.
Sunday, January 23, 2005 he found the bag with only money. He immediately thought of returning the money, but his fellow drivers said it was too late to return it. She remembered the child in need of surgery. He is tempted not to return the money. Take home the bag with money at home. He has to make a difficult decision: The life of his child or return the money to the owner. His parents' teaching - being 'honest' overcame him. He sought the help of DXES Radyo Bombo to track down the owner of the money named Sarah Dione from Surallah, Cotabato. The owner was overjoyed to no longer hope that the lost money would be returned to him, when he met Dario Calvario, the loyal driver. Meanwhile, when councilor Lourdes Casabuena, chairman of the City Council of Cotabato, heard about this, he went to Calvario's family and promised to help with his problem.
In the previous lesson, we learned that man is a moral executive. It is also considered that there is a social status of moral action or in the plain language of the event as well as the purpose of the action or action. What is going on in the process of making moral decisions? The process a person goes through every time he makes a moral act or decision is complicated. Man has an innate desire to exercise the freedom to "do what he wants to do". But man has a conscience so-called "inner voice" that says to love the good and avoid the evil. If necessary, it speaks to the heart more specifically, "do this, avoid that". Conscience judges whether our behavior, actions, decisions are good and influence the human conscience. The sinking of the family, the oral of the faith learned in religion, the custom or consciousness of manners and values, the abusive friends who grow up in the social environment when man comes to the point of deciding on serious problems, the more certain that it is difficult and lacking moral decision-making ability. Conscience is observed when there is self-conflict.
What is the determination of conscience? What makes our actions better or worse? There are three levels or dimensions to moral work: 1. The gesture chosen. 2. The condition. 3. The intended. Did Darwin Calvario make a wrong decision to return the money? What guided him in his decision? Moral action is based on the mind and will of man. There are three aspects of this thought and desire mentioned in the Catechism for Filipino Catholics: First, critical knowledge - it is not just mental knowledge, information, but what motivates decision-making. Another term for this is knowledge of the heart as far as the type and value gained by the person who knows the specific situation is concerned. Second, the imagination or validity of the moral standards taught by the elders. It only becomes effective once it is linked to the experiences that have been difficult to decide in the actual case. Third, the senses - the intense passion suppresses the freedom of man, the moral maker.
His good manners and personality also influence his personal and moral life. What is the routine of human behavior or morality inherent? Darwin Calvario was raised to be conscious of honesty, so choosing the right decision did not make it difficult for him.
The three-step decision-making process can still be a human rule. First is the moral assumption that can be summed up in the four letters S-T-O-P.

Third, judgment or decision makes judgment of conscience.
-Man has the ability to do what he wants to do even when it is wrong. God has a gift so that man does not make mistakes completely - the conscience, the small voice that tells and judges the decision if the decision is right and good.
