LETTER TO PRESIDENT



June 27, 2013
Vigan, Ilocos Sur

Hon. Benigno C. Aquino III
President
Republic of the Philippines

Dear Mr. President,
I would just like to take this moment to briefly discuss with you my dilemma with our new government, which many say, is the cure to our ailing country.
When you won the current presidential elections, I was disappointed that the person, who I really wanted to win, lost. But, of course, being the nationalistic person that I am, I stayed optimistic and told myself that you weren’t a bad choice anyway and can still make a huge difference in the country.
But here’s the thing, Mr. President, I have been hoping and praying for the rise of my beloved country since you won. But, until now, I cannot seem to feel nor see that the Philippines is indeed ascending, in a great way. You seem to be more preoccupied with cleaning and doing away with whatever former president, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo had done or has left the government in the past.
I am not questioning your capabilities or your plans for the country. I know you only mean well. All I’m saying is that the constant rise of primary products and the fall of the Philippine peso seems to contradict most of the things that you said you would change for the better.
Bottom line, Mr. President, I would like to see a more effective governance from you and the new government. I wish you would not be afraid to push the envelope once in a while. People would probably criticize you, but it’s for the country anyway. After all, you were elected not to always make people happy, but make a more economically sound country.

Sincerely yours,
Ailyn Melitante
