A Doubted Leader

-


 


Dear President Rodrigo Duterte,

      First and fore most Mr. President, I would like to acknowledge your slightly successful projects such as War on Drugs, the issue in Marawi, the rehabilitation of Boracay and Manila Bay, and the laws you implemented. I admire you for doing your responsibilities as a leader but, are you even aware that your administration is being a clown and clowning the country? I guess not.

The war on drugs project is undeniably successful, dealers and pushers are now rotting in jail, but is that all? The drug lords, are they already repenting their mistakes? Not just that. Many citizens are held accusingly causing them trauma that affects their families. Could the Filipinos say that your project is successful? Maybe yes but a hundred percent no for me. About Marawi, they are now under the Martial Law, but the infrastructure, is it already recovered? People are worrying that the rehabilitation might be forgotten as soon as you are going to step down as a President. Instead of using the funds to supply the poor this pandemic, you focused on the rehab of Manila Bay. How insensitive are you? Right at the time of pandemic? I understand that nature is truly beautiful but can’t you wait? You could have given the extra funds in Marawi, and the poor. And about the law you implemented, specifically Anti- Terrorism Bill, do you think that was effective? You are basically silencing the people about their concerns and complaints about your administration. And the penalty is outrageously unfair, they would be caught by just sharing their opinions on social media and suspecting them as a terrorist just by causing a rally? Why can’t you notice yourself the other corrupt politicians?

I honestly admired your past projects and hopefully, I would 100 % percent support you someday. Take a rest for temporary to ease your mind so that you can reach the Filipinos’ expectation, after all, we are only human.

    Hello Russel! As a fellow Filipino I truly hope that someday you'll be able to finally support our president until his term. I hope our president won't regret any of his decisions he had made and will make.

    I’m glad that you respect our president as a human who gets tired and makes mistakes too. I hope that our president realizes what and who really needs his attention and help. And finally earn the support of many Filipinos.

    I really admire your letter for being direct to the point and being true to yourself. We are not perfect, we commit mistakes. I hope that our president will see to it who really needs his support and attention. Keep praying for him and for our country.

Effectivity of Education

 We are all in the middle of a pandemic. People are losing their lives, some fortunately recovered. Hard workers sacrificing their lives such as doctors, nurses, polices, teachers and other front liners. Poor ones suffering from poverty but still working just to provide their own family’s needs. Majority of schools all around the world are affected and forced to close due to this pandemic. Several months here in the Philippines, the Department of Education and other private schools decided to open and continue schooling. Is it really effective though?  We can say that the privileged ones; gifted in terms of wealth and intelligence, would be fine with this kind of education. Our school wondered whether they are going to implement online learning or just pray that the pandemic would go away. Since we are in a public school, they chose both online and printed modular learnings, both rich and poor ones are benefited. The problem is, how about the ones that are not gifted with inte...

Hey, Earthquake!

  At any time an earthquake might strike us without any warning. No single individual could stop an inevitable disaster. All we could do is to prevent and have a knowledge about preparedness and vigilance.   National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill by the government is always conducted every year. As I have noticed, only few people is taking the activity seriously. Is the "duck, cover and hold" enough for them to save their lives? How would they act in case an earthquake would hit them? I guess, have a chit-chat with a companion first rather than being vigilant.  It is really important to participate, even in a simple preparedness plan or at least have a knowledge on how to act and respond to disasters. I suggest to have a cooperation and not to be a burden, of course, excluding the ones with disabilities and illnesses.

The Usual

 Nothing has changed, actually. Is it necessary to change ourselves yearly? Or people are just used to changing and improving theirselves every New Year?   I always fail my New Year's Resolutions and I do not know if I am already contented with who I am as of the moment. For now, I only want to make my grades better than last year, hone my hobbies; especially in drawing, remove any unwanted traits that shows toxicity and have a good-looking appearance.  We were bombarded by disasters and a pandemic that lead us to lockdown, affecting us in all aspects last year, so wishing it would be gone soon is not a bother also. In spite of that happenings, we became close and fortunately unaffected by the virus so that is a new goal for this year, not to be affected by it.  And hopefully, I can past through this pressure and challenges this year, and reconcile with our happy lives back then, which has a low percentage, apparently.
