Letter to President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino


To President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III



                   Good day Sir, I am Julie Anne R. Pimentel, a student of 
Ilocos Sur National High School, wrote this letter to tell you Sir about my opinion and concern about some problems of our country.

                Corruption is our major problem in our country, which the citizen yelling for. And corruption is also believed to be caused by our government officials, that they are stealing or hiding the money that we earn by paying our taxes. So we are asking for your cooperation to show us all the SALNs of the government officials, that contain all the properties owned, businesses ,and moneys, so we can know the amount increases and decreases of those and for us to know where you get those money and properties.

                  And we also know that poverty is the problem of our citizens, one example is the over population of some places in our country. And in that place, they would have low amount of food supply, only few children can go to school because only  few have jobs for them to earn. Also when a place have more population than normal, there would be least place for them to build there houses, so they would build there houses at the river sides or under the bridges or other places just for them to have somewhere to build their houses. 
         
                     Now, that we are experiencing rainy season, we are also suffering from floods.  I know that the MMDA had been preparing to lessen the percentage of the height or occurrence of flood in the places by cleaning and removing the waste from canals and drainage to make the water to travel with no blockage. But, then again, why are we still suffering from floods? Well, we are still suffering from floods because of the people living at the river sides and under the bridges, and of course us too because of littering, throwing  waste, and plastic and other things to the surroundings and also in water. And when it rains, it causes blocking of the water drainage, then the water raises and it cause flood. And when it floods it also carries millions or maybe billions of germs and viruses that we get when we walk in the floods, that can also cause us to get illness.

                       So for the us, the citizens to have safer place to live in and stay, the government officials must show their SALNs so that it won't cause corruption, to poverty, to low education and employment status, to having house in dangerous places, and to many more. And also if the roller wants to have good followers, then the rollers must also be a good roller and a good example for all.

                           And again, good day to you.
