SAN JULIAN NORTE

  VIGAN CITY, PHILIPPINES

SEPTEMBER 16,2021

Dear President Rodrigo Roa Duterte,

 

Good Day! I would like to thank you. As there have been numerous changes and advancements during your tenure. I want to congratulate you on cleaning up Boracay and Manila Bay. Thank you for taking steps to ensure the safety and maintain the Philippines’ natural beauty in a world where our environment is no longer recognized. I also respect how proactive you have been as president in realizing your goal of a better Philippines.

Furthermore, reading an article in which you disparaged catholic priests. Of which more than 80 percent of Filipinos are members, disappointed me. Because you are the country’s leader you are also its representation- a link between the people you lead and the government. How can you offend a faith that is practiced by more than half of the population?

In the article, you shared that the Catholic church mistreated you as a child, and I can only comprehend the agony this must have caused you. On be half of the Church Mr. President, I sincerely apologized and hope for your recovery to the trauma you experienced. Despite this Mr. President respect should still be shown to the Church and to our priests especially when you are interacting with them, because they serve as the instrument of Christ.

 

I also want to raise the problem of the people who don’t have works/jobs to work and attend to because of this pandemic, On behalf of the poor families all over our country please do give them the benefits they truly deserve Mr. President.

 

During this pandemic Mr. President everyone’s safety and health is at risk including our life, Hospitals in our community and in a lot of communities all over our country Mr. President is just too, how can I express the word? Well you know Mr. President one of our problem is when we go to hospitals for check ups and etc. Doctors already jump into conclusions that you are a covid positive even if you are not. Regarding this issue Mr. President I hope that you make an action regarding this Mr. President.

 

I hope that you will open your mind and your heart as you read this letter. I merely want to clear up any misunderstandings you or others may have. If you have any doubts about the Catholic Church’s teachings and their principles, please allow me/us to demonstrate the love and compassion that the faith is truly about.

 

Sincerely Yours,                      

  CRISTEL JEM P. PARADA
