    [abstract] => This study assesses how moral reasoning influences professional ethics and instructional satisfaction among public secondary teachers in North District, Panabo City. Using a descriptive-correlation method, the researcher gathered data through validated survey questionnaires from randomly selected teacher respondents. Results indicate that teachers display moderate moral reasoning overall, with notable strengths in fairness in discipline but less consistency in ethical decision-making, integrity, and value-based judgments. Teachers consistently show strong professional ethics, particularly in respecting diversity and accountability, although confidentiality of student information, despite being extensive, requires further reinforcement. Instructional satisfaction is extensive overall, driven by teachers' sense of achievement in student progress, though improvements are needed in curriculum delivery, classroom environment, and goal alignment. Significant positive relationships were found between moral reasoning and professional ethics, especially ethical decision-making, fairness, and integrity, but value-based judgments were non-significant. Moral reasoning strongly predicts instructional satisfaction, highlighting its critical role in teachers' professional fulfillment. The study implies that enhancing teachers' moral reasoning through targeted training can strengthen ethical standards and significantly improve instructional satisfaction. Educational leaders should integrate structured moral reasoning activities into professional development initiatives to promote ethical teaching and greater workplace satisfaction.
