Dear Mr. President,
Good day po!
My name is Jazmine P. Cantorna, a proud Grade 10 student of Ilocos Sur National High School. I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation, concerns, and simple hopes as a young Filipino student who is dreaming of a brighter future for myself, my fellow youth, and our country.
First of all, thank you for all the efforts and programs you have implemented during your term. I truly appreciate how you prioritize development in the areas of education, agriculture, and digitalization. Your support for improved facilities, internet access in public schools, and more learning opportunities shows us students that we are not forgotten. Thank you also for pushing projects that support farmers and fisherfolk—many of us come from families who rely on farming, and these efforts help give them a more stable livelihood. We can see the roads being improved and more investments coming in, and as a student from the province, it makes me feel hopeful that development is reaching even us.
As someone who loves learning and dreams of becoming a flight attendant, or maybe even a psychologist or nurse one day, your support for quality education means so much. I want to serve this country in my own way someday, and that starts with having access to proper education, resources, and support.
However, I also want to respectfully share some of the concerns we face in our community. One of the biggest problems I see is poverty. Many students I know go to school without enough food, transportation money, or school supplies. Some of them even stop attending school because their families simply cannot afford it. I hope your administration can further strengthen scholarship programs, expand feeding initiatives, and support schools in remote areas, especially here in the provinces.
Another concern that I hope can be addressed is mental health awareness and services in schools. A lot of young people today struggle with stress, anxiety, and depression, but there is still a lack of guidance counselors and mental health support in many public schools. If we want students to succeed, we must also take care of their emotional and mental well-being.
I also hope there will be stronger action regarding climate change and environmental protection. As a student, I get scared seeing how floods, heat, and other disasters are becoming more common. I dream of a cleaner, greener Philippines, and I believe that through stricter policies, awareness programs, and proper waste management, we can protect our environment for the next generations.
I know that leading a country is never easy, and I admire the way you continue to face the challenges that come with your position. But I believe that by listening to the voices of ordinary citizens, especially the youth, we can build a better Philippines together. We, the young generation, are ready to learn, serve, and act—but we also need guidance and support from our leaders.
Thank you again, Mr. President, for your service to our country. Please continue to prioritize education, healthcare, the environment, and the basic needs of every Filipino. May God bless you with wisdom, strength, and compassion in all your decisions.
I may just be one student writing to you today, but I represent many others who are quietly hoping and praying for a better tomorrow.
With hope and respect,
Jazmine P. Cantorna
