Dear President Rodrigo Duterte,
Greetings Mr.
Rody Duteterte. I am a junior high school student and I would like to talk to
you about the state of the economy and the education system of the Philippines.
These are issues that I want to address because I feel that these things would
help the Philippines in its advancement. A failing economy would result to more
poverty present throughout the country. A failing education system would result
to illiterate Filipinos not able to speak and learn their own truth.
During the
campaign season, you have promised to make our country better by helping our
impoverished brothers and sisters in the country. However, that is not the
case. There have been undeniable high inflation rates in our commodities and
goods. This could be linked to a worsening economy. The minimum wage is not
enough for people to afford the needs of each human being to even just live. I
view this as a big threat for the advancement and betterment of the Philippines
itself. Not only is the economy a problem but also our education system. As a
student, I believe that education is key in order for the state of the
Philippines to improve. Education should reach even our brothers and sisters
who are living in remote areas and to our brothers and sisters who can’t afford
to go to school. Education should not be for the privileged, rather it is a
right that everyone should obtain. The saying goes that “The youth is the hope
of the country” so giving them quality education for the lowest price possible
could help improve the state of our country.
President
Duterte, I think it is high time that you listen to the cries of the people. I
am not saying that you should give them what they want but you need to consider
the things that they are voicing out and try to make a compromise. Be the
change.
Sincerely,
Uriel Lazo
