Dear Mr. President,

 First of all, I would like to commend you for your great effort in leading our beloved country, the Philippines. Thank you also for not giving up on us, that despite the tons of criticisms that you are receiving from your detractors, you remain firm and focus on what you need to do.

 Mr. President, please allow me to get straight to the main reason why I wrote you this letter. A few years ago, the International Court of Justice acknowledged us as the rightful owner of some of the disputed islands at the West Philippine Sea. I think this is so far our biggest achievement against China with regards to territorial issues, but up to this moment, this giant country has no plan of respecting the verdict of the court. Mr. President, I know that a lot of people are pressing you to make a firm stand with regards to this matter, but please don’t be pressured. China is such an enormous and powerful country to combat with. We cannot afford to go to war with them. May I suggest then that you should go on a bilateral talk with the government officials of China to discuss thoroughly this thing? It does not matter if it will take you several times to meet and come up with a favorable decision for as long as the life of every Filipino people won’t be compromised. Always go for what is best for your people, Mr. President…let’s peacefully settle this matter.

 Thank you so much, Mr. President, for giving some of your precious time reading my letter and May the good Lord continue to bless you with good health and sound mind and spirit as you continue to lead the more than a hundred million Filipinos.


Respectfully yours,

Julie Mae De Leon

Bigueños’ Celebrated Christmas amidst the Pandemic

Bigueños’ Celebrated Christmas amidst the Pandemic  Christmas is surely one of the most anticipated and celebrated holidays not only in the Philippines but all over the world. People, especially Catholics spend time preparing for the birth of the Messiah, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Here in Vigan City, despite the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, we have our fair share to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year.  Just like the previous years, the Bigueños started the preparation of Christmas on the 1st day of September. Local radio stations begin to play Christmas songs to remind the locals that the birth of Jesus is fast approaching. Each household starts to put up their Christmas tree and decorates their houses with Christmas ornaments and sparkling lights. Everywhere you go is decorated with either red or green, which are the most common Christmas colors. Thank God, because, before the exact day of this most special day, the Covid-19 restrictions were a bit loose. The Big...

Mr. President, Please Hold Your Horses!

 Being the head of more than a hundred million Filipinos is a very demanding and stressful job. I know that when you decided to take on the task, you were already ready to face the hardships of being the president of our republic. However, just recently I could see you from the news being angry to some of your critics.  Mr. President, I know that you are doing your best to serve your people. If there are some who are not satisfied with the way you govern our country, just let them be. Always remember that not a single politician like you is liked by everybody. You should try to relax and continue work harder for the common good of your people.  Always remember, Mr. President that you can never please everybody. So, hold on your horses and never get mad. Take good care of yourself. This country and its people still need you.

Mothers: Angels in Disguise

Mothers:Angels in Disguise     If there is that one greatest responsibility that a woman could have in this world,that would be motherhood. A chance to bear a child or children to become future of this physical world.     It is therefore right to give them honor and appreciation for their unconditional love and sacrifices for their children and their families. Let's let them know that we also care for them. Mother's day celebration during the month of May is only for the purpose of a unified worldwide appreciation for all the mothers all over the world, but appreciating a mother should be done every day. When they cook for our food, we should always thank them. When they clean our house or do the laundry, let's appreciate them. Our simple gesture of appreciation would definitely lessen their burden form doing house choirs, and even their stress from work if they are working moms.     Our mothers are blessing from God. We should love and care for them a...
