Ang kabayanihan ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa mga dakilang sakripisyo, kundi sa bawat munting gawa ng malasakit, tapang, at paglilingkod sa kapwa.

Ang mga munting paalalang ito ay naglalayong gabayan ang bawat isa sa pagiging maingat, sensitibo, at mapag-unawa sa ating pakikitungo sa mga taong direktang naaapektuhan. Sa ganitong pagkakataon, mahalagang igalang ang kanilang damdamin, pribasiya, at espasyo.

Kung makatagpo ng sensitibong impormasyon, larawan, o iba pang midya, iwasang ipasa, i-repost, o palaganapin ang mga ito. Kung maaari, makiisa sa pagpapanatili ng pribasiya sa pamamagitan ng paghiling na alisin ang naturang nilalaman.

Sa oras ng pagdadalamhati, piliin nating magbigay ng tahimik na pagdamay, pag-unawa, at respeto. Maging maingat sa ating mga salita at kilos, at iwasang makadagdag sa bigat na pinagdaraanan ng iba.

Maraming salamat sa inyong malasakit, pag-unawa, at pakikipagtulungan. May peace in power guide our service!
