 “Witness a Crime, Report a Crime

             Isang napakalaking dahilan kung bakit namimihasa at napakalakas ng loob ng mga kriminal na gumawa ng masama sa kapwa ay dahil walang nagsusumbong sa mga may kinauukulan.

            Kung ikaw ay naging biktima, dapat kang magsumbong sa mga may kapangyarihan tulad ng pulisya upang matulungan ang iyong sarili at lalo na upang hindi na mabiktima pa ang ibang tao.
