EN: act of telling on someone, reporting
'Sumbong kita kay Mama!' The national anthem of Filipino siblings. It's the act of reporting a colleague's suspicious long breaks to HR, or telling the barangay captain about your neighbor's non-stop karaoke sessions at 2 AM. Pagsusumbong is the art of snitching, whether for justice, revenge, or just to get someone in trouble.
From `pag-` (nominalizer) + `su-` (reduplication) + `sumbong` (to tell on, report).
Can have a negative connotation (tattling) or a positive one (reporting a crime).
