Dear President Duterte,

          Good day, Mr. President! The reason behind this letter is to express my gratitude to you for all the good things that you have done for the country. We know you've been working very hard to ensure the well-being of your countrymen. In addition, this letter is also for the purpose of expressing my thoughts on you and your approach to leading the country. I hope you see this letter as an opportunity to improve.

          I believe you are doing your very best to provide quality service to us Filipinos. Illegal drugs have always been a problem in the country, and dealing with them has brought the country one step closer to development. However, we can't help but disagree with some of your country-wide decisions. For instance, this pandemic has been with us for more than a year, with cases continuing to rise despite the establishment of vaccination centers. Moreover, the use of guns by firemen is absurd and extremely dangerous. With reports of police killing the innocent, it is evident that some are abusing their power and are not wielding their influence properly. Firemen do not require firearms to fight the fire. Violence is not always the solution to every problem. You are responsible for every Filipino's life, and this decision may harm your people, which is why it is crucial not to rush any decision because it may have a long-term impact on your country.

          To sum up, we are very much grateful for everything you have done for the entire country. We thank you for being an active president throughout your presidency. Nonetheless, please listen to the voices of your countrymen as they will indicate what needs to be improved for the betterment of the country. This will not only benefit us, but it will also leave a special lesson that you will remember for the rest of your life. Again, thank you for your service, and keep safe.

 

Sincerely,
Roanne A. Alimboyoguen
Student, ISNHS

    It's comforting to know that fellow students aren't afraid to voice out their political opinions especially nowadays. I agree with you that President Duterte should listen to us, the people, to further benefit the country. Overall, this blog is very well-made and very informational! Furthermore, I'm glad that there are people like you that aren't blind to the injustices of our country.

A Time for Giving

        Our favorite time of year is nearing, and the pandemic is still present, limiting our ability to travel and meet our loved ones from various places. This will be our second time coping with the pandemic during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we Filipino Christians will not be deterred from celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas lights and trees can be seen as early as September. Every Filipino, especially children, can be seen beaming with delight as they await the arrival of Christmas to receive gifts from their family and godparents. This is the time when the family gets together to celebrate and bond while enjoying the feast that has been prepared. However, because the COVID-19 Pandemic has had such a great impact on our daily lives, we are unable to be with our families and friends who come from long distances.         Christmas is one of the most important events for Christians, and it should be valued and res...

Quality Education For A Better Future

               We are all aware that the pandemic has affected how we normally live, and the education of students is no exception. In the first months of 2020, our learning was interrupted due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19. Of course, we students were upset by the news. Students had no idea when their schools would reopen. Despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the Philippine government did not use this as an excuse to halt the education of students. In the Philippines, education is crucial to a person’s life.         What we are experiencing as students today demonstrates the importance of education. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the Philippine government developed various approaches in order to continue the education of students. Distance learning has been introduced, which includes the use of technology, electronic devices, modules, and so on. Students were new to this approach, and some lacked the necessa...
