Malacañang Palace
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte
President of the Philippines
Dear Mr. President,
Good day Mr. President. I hope you are always well and healthy. I am writing to you because I want to say my opinion about you. But before that I would like to thank you, as there have been many changes and progress during your administration. I am a student of a public school and I hope you understand me if I write something that you do not like and understand in this letter.
During the last election for electing the new president, some people said that you should not be elected because you are arrogant and do nothing for the development of our country. I was young back then so I didn't know about it. When you won as the new president, the number of people hating you increased. For me, they should not be hating you instead they should respect and idolize you.
Again Mr. President I want to thank you for what you did to make our country beautiful and for protecting it with all you can. As a Filipino citizen, I can see your sacrifices for our country and you have such a great influence over the people of our nation. I will pray for your safety.
Sincerely yours,
Eliza Tapiceria

Hi Eliza! You are right. Our president has done a lot of good things in our country. We should idolize and respect him. I hope the president can read your letter to him someday.
TumugonBurahinI appreciate that you are hoping for his safety and for him to have good health. Our president is doing his best to strengthen and develop the Philippines, and we should be thankful for that. I acknowledge that hating him cannot help our country, but we must criticize him whenever his decisions can negatively affect our country and us, Filipinos; hating is different from only critiquing.
TumugonBurahinI totally agree with you that he did many things for the betterment of our country. I appreciate you for being concerned about his health. Let's wish that he would do his best to lead our country.
TumugonBurahinHello Eliza! I’m glad that out of the thousands of Filipinos who doesn’t appreciate the efforts of our president, you are not one of them.I agree that we should be thankful of things he has done for the entire Philippines. I always pray that God give him the strength and will never lose his will to lead the whole Philippines. To realize what and who really needs his attention and help. And finally earn the support of many Filipinos.
TumugonBurahinI'm glad that you are one of the few Filipinos who appreciate and respect our president. We have the same stand, Eliza. Let's continue supporting our president because he need it, especially right now, many filipinos hate him because of his style of leadership.

TumugonBurahinBefore hating on our President, we should first identify the things he has done for the betterment of our country. I agree that we should not be hating on our President because he was able to successfully improve our country so we must support him. The things he did to improve our country can never be denied despite some of his mistakes.
