The argument of "Imohang anak patyon unya dili madakpan ang nagpatay..." etc etc doesn't hold water, NOT because it's not my anak ang gipatay, it's simply because the majority/rest of the populace doesn't experience this (count the ratio of those living rather peaceful lives against the lives of those that crime visited, and you'll find out that it's not a big portion of the local population, otherwise, a police crisis should have already been declared and the military would come into Cebu City...yes, Martial Law will be upheld in case the local police gets swamped with complaints of being incompetent and there's too much crime already)--if and only if the majority experiences lawlessness, will there be any change in how the policing of a city/province country is being done.
