Dear Mr. President,
I am hoping that you are experiencing a nice day as you read my letter sir . I am Genelle sir , a 15 years old girl . I am a student at ILOCOS SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL . And I am writing you today to share my thoughts about "Poverty in the Philippines" sir .
I became interested to this issue because I know that Poverty is one of the problems that our country is suffering .
One answer why a country is experiencing poverty is lack of social mobility . Another factor is religion: the dominant Catholic church encourages husbands and wives to have large families (more children than they can afford to feed and educate) and forbids the use of birth control. People in the lower classes are often mired in poverty as a result of no access to family planning. In rural areas, many families lack electricity and their children attend schools where there are over-crowded classrooms, old books and no computers. Students who lack educational opportunities will not acquire the skills needed to move up in society or find a good job after graduating (assuming they graduate). And, in a country with poorly educated people, democracy will not work well: frauds and charlatans and corrupt leaders will be able to keep people from being able to improve their situation, while those who are wealthy will find ways to navigate the system and gain whatever benefits they can from it.
What response could we expect sir ? I know it's not that easy to make an action but we really need too .
Well , I wanna congratulate you sir , for all the success that you have achieve . And I know that you are giving all your best to do your responsibilities and duties . Thank You Sir
.
Sincerely,
Marie Genelle Ronquillo
