Dear President Aquino,

          Special greetings for you sir!
          First of all, I would like to thank you for your efforts and sacrifices in trying to make our country more progressive. I commend your efforts in fighting for our rights for our territories/properties like the very controversial Scarborough Shoal and Spratlys Island. I salute you for that sir.
          It's been already two years since you were elected as president of the Philippine Republic. I can see that there are some improvements in our country because of the government programs and services being implemented. For example, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program and the K+12 Education Curriculum which has already started this school year. The objectives of these projects are nice, but still, we can not hide the fact that we are not yet ready for the K+12 education Curriculum.
          It is very evident that we don't have enough classrooms, teachers, books and other school materials. we still need thousands of classrooms, teachers and millions of books. I know that you are trying your best to lessen the number of unemployed Filipinos but we need to set our priorities.
          I am very sorry sir, I have no intentions to hurt your feelings but I need to express what I feel. Poverty is very evident in every corner and because of this, there are many crimes everywhere. The government spent millions of peso for the very controversial impeachment trial of CJ Corona. Instead of spending that for the impeachment trial, you should have gave it to the poor Filipino families and for sure, the case of poverty would have lessen and crimes as well.
          You have lots of projects sir but i think they are not being implemented well. I know that you are trying your best but I think that is not yet enough. we should try harder for our country to be progressive. your advocacy is "Sama-sama nating tahakin ang tuwid na landas." My question is, "Are we really treading the right path?"
          Once again sir, Good day!

Respectfully yours,
April Joy M. Pichay
