This paper determined the level of religiosity and morality of the students. This utilizes descriptive survey and correlational design that use quantitative data. In this approach, the researcher primarily use post positivist claims for developing knowledge and employ survey to collect data. The survey design will yield holistic views of the respondent regarding morality and religiosity through statistical inquiry. The correlational design will measure the degree of association between two or more variables using also statistical procedure of correlational analysis. The respondents are male and female belonging to different age brackets. Most of the respondents are Roman Catholics since Catholicism is still the religion in the Philippines that has the most number of believers. The result reveals that the power of media, side by side with one’s family and environment can be influential to a person’s religiosity and morality. Despite the varying views among the respondents, it was found out that there is a significant relationship among the two variables specifically on factors such as family’s social spectrum and the perceived religious effects of the chosen media. This study is a replication of another study about the religious perspective of students conducted in the same university.
