Sir:

          Greetings!
          In the past administrations, a lot of problems were left hanging without being solved. Yet, you came and gave us, the Filipinos, a new hope. A new hope for a new life.
          For the past two years, in your administration, is there a change? There was no change. Yes. What is the sense of hope when there is no improvement? IMPROVEMENT. CHANGE. Where are you? We've been hoping and fighting for improvement. For change. From the very start, we believed in you. But then again, you didn't give any attention to those problems that our country has encountered. If you have given, just a little. And until now, still, our country has a lot of problems.
          I, as a student, am greatly honored to send you a letter and give my own opinions. And I hope, we hope, that you'll give more attention to the problems that our country is now facing. We also hope that you'll always be willing to help thousands of people, especially the Filipinos inside and outside the country. And most of all, do your best to serve your country and to your countrymen. Prove to them that you can do better and you can do more.
          I hope you'll appreciate this simple letter, Sir.
          Good day to you!

Respectfully  yours,

Marielle Ragasa
