Mr. President:
Greetings and peace to our Lord!

It will be my honor and pleasure if you will be able to read this, sir. Before anything else, sir, I am Shenel Pauline Ricardos, a grade 10 student of Ilocos Sur National High School from the heritage city of Vigan, province of Ilocos Sur.

I've been living in this country for almost 15 years and a month but then unfortunately, I can see no innovations, developments and improvements on it. Thanks God that He told you to run for the presidential election and eventually, with His goodness, you won. Even though I'm just a 13 year old girl that time, I'm aware of all your agendas and I believe that you can make the Philippines better again that's why I'm very much fortunate when I heard that you won, for it gave me hope because after all the years that had passed through without betterment and is full of corruption, at last the poverty in our country will be reduced. Even though, you just wished and wanted to make our country better, there are these people around you who are destroying your image just because they don't want your way of dispensation. There's an issue of killing innocent people, having a lot of mistresses. Some says you are helping the foe of the government and even your speaking of bad words is a big deal to them. They used the said issues just to make you down but then you disregard everything that they've said about you. I laughed hard when you announced in public that if you're going to speak bad word, you are going to donate in the charity. I like your champaign for "No To Drugs", sir because this is the way on how the drug users and the drug pushers will change their lives. Sad to say that lives of other innocent people are taken away because of this champaign. Is it really necessary to kill people just to make a change in our country and just to make it better, sir? Cause if you can see, we don't know who's innocent or not.

I, as a student, give the whole support on you, sir. I support every agendas and steps of yours to attain the peace and order of our country that every individual wished for.

Thank you sir for your kind consideration. Hoping for your next steps.

-SHENEL PAULINE RICARDOS
