Honorable Benigno Simeon Aquino III 

President of the Republic of the Philippines 

Sir: 

        "Action speaks louder than words." True enough. Greetings Mr. President! I'm so glad to have an opportunity like this. There’s so many words that I want to squiggle in this post sir. First, I would like to introduce myself, I am Phaula Louisse Catura of Vigan City.

          First of all, I bet you know what’s happening in our country today, right sir? For me, it’s not like yesterday. Yesterday that used to have curfew hours and a strict country but can above others. And today is like a whole new world, full of corruption and crimes. How can you prevent these kinds of things sir? Being the President of the Philippines is indeed a hard job, but you ran for that position sir and we gave you are trust to rule our country, as you’ve said “Kayo ang boss ko”. But where is now that promise of yours sir? Where is now your action? Will it be only stick to the words again? Another issue sir is the well-known Napoles Case. So what can you say about this sir? I think it's almost 1 year for that case and up until now, it is not yet done. So many extra scenes. Another one  is the VIP treatment of some of the senators in jail. Why is that so sir? I think it’s unfair for the other people who are non-government. After all we all live in the same world, so why give VIP treatments to them? Where’s the word “fair” to that sir? Gone. 

          But on the other hand sir, thank you for the things you’ve done for the Philippines. We are waiting for your action sir. To make Philippines shine again and rise among the others. Once again, mabuhay Mr. President! And together we will rise again! 

Sincerely yours,

Phaula Louisse Catura
