My Words for the President

 


Dear President Duterte,

          A wonderful day, Mr. President. I am pleased to have a chance to give you a letter that expresses my thoughts regarding on your actions as a President amidst the pandemic.

          I admire you, for having the courage to rule the country, but you have dismayed the Filipino people by your governance. One of which is the poor performance of your Administration in combating the COVID 19 pandemic. Aside from not having any concrete plan to flatten the curve, politicians and other personalities are given special treatment despite the lack of tets kits. There is no doubt how neglectful the government is in addressing people's concerns. We, the Filipino people have all the rights to express our dissent, and demand accountability and transparency from the government.

          Although you have done some great things, your actions that have shown your negliegence and bad governance outweighed those who are good.

          I know, your position is not as easy as we think it is, and given those disappointing things you did, there are also good things that you've done for us. I'm grateful for the times you did a good job leading us, and I hope, one day, you'll make us proud again.

          Time is ticking fast and we cannot risk another life because of the way you handle the situation. Given the rising numbers of COVID-19 patients in the country and inaccessibility of health services, the most urgent thing your Administration could do is to exhaust all efforts to deliver aid to the needy and having a concrete plan to flatten the curve, instead of violence and threats. In this unprecedented time of crisis, the fueling rage of toiling masses is justified.

                                                Written with sincerity,

                   Sunshine

    Your thoughts and how you express in your letter how you feel about the leadership of our president especially now during the pandemic are well presented. I agree with you because everything in your letter tells the truth and I hope that the administration of our President do improve and perform their duties and responsibilities as the leader of our country.

    Being a president has the biggest role to do and yes some people were disappointed in his actions when this pandemic started. But just like you, I will continue to trust and believe in him the sake of our country, Philippines.

    I agree that during this Covid-19 pandemic, the President should prioritize Filipinos. Funds should be directed in improving our healthcare systems because it is what where we lack when in fact it is our number one need during this pandemic. I am truly disappointed in our President but there's nothing I can do but to continue believing and trusting in him. I hope that he finds the light to correct his leadership mistakes soon.

During the Lenten season, people usually do three things: pray, fast, and give alms. In addition, two important virtues are observed during this season. Three basic steps can be taken to achieve mercy and compassion. First and foremost, rest in God.

Adaptation of The "New Normal" Way of Schooling

    Image retrieved at http://clipart-library.com/children-at-school-clipart.html               Being at school is not just about learning academically, it is a place where we sometimes feel comfortable in showing our real selves and flashing the brightest smile we can ever wear. Having time to chat with your friends personally, and getting to hug them everyday had became a routine in a student's day in school. Listening to your teacher's discussion, having snacks with your classmates while sharing jokes with each other and not worrying about other people as long as you're all happy. Who would have thought it would all change in a sudden?

Long ago, men and women are treated differently. Men are treated a lot better than women because it is said that they are more strong, bold, and fierce. Women in the other hand, are being treated poorly because they are said to be weak, and they are the main victims of abuse, since they are believed to be powerless.  Image retrieved at https://images.app.goo.gl/iWEruxP9ns1sUdGC9           But as time goes by, people are getting more conscious on women abuse, until it wasn't tolerated anymo
