SOLUTIONS/SUGGESTIONS

• The government should tell those victims not to do these things again.
• The government should have a meeting with them to ensure that they wont do any more terror attacks.

As a Lasallian, I can be confident to tell people about this situation and tell it to the proper authorities when somebody is doing something bad or similar to what these members of Abu Sayyaf did.

THANK YOU!
