A Letter to the President

 

August 26, 2025

FERDINAND MARCOS JR.

President of the Republic of the Philippines

Malacanang Palace


Dear Mr. President:

    I am writing to respectfully express some concerns that many of us in the community have been facing in the recent months. These issues, while varied in nature, are deeply connected to the daily lives of ordinary citizens:

1. Rising Cost of Living - The prices of basic goods, from rice to vegetables, have continued to climb. Many families now struggle to stretch their budget until the next payday. This is especially difficult for minimum-wage earners, whose salaries have not kept pace with inflation.

2. Public Transportation Challenges - Commuters endure long lines, unpredictable schedules, and overcrowded vehicles on a daily basis. For many, getting to work or school has become an exhausting ordeal, especially in urban centers.

3. Climate-Related Disasters - The recent floods and extreme weather events have highlighted the urgent need for stronger disaster preparedness and climate-resilient infrastructure. Too many communities remain vulnerable, and recovery is slow for those affected.

    I understand that these are complex issues that cannot be solved overnight. However, I humbly appeal to your office to prioritize measures that will:

  • Control inflation through better agricultural support and fair market monitoring.
  • Improve the reliability and capacity of public transport systems.
  • Strengthen disaster readiness programs, especially in flood-prone areas.
    I believe that under your leadership, our nation can take meaningful steps toward making daily life more affordable, safe, and sustainable for all Filipinos.

    Thank you for your time, and may you continue to lead with integrity, compassion, and wisdom.

Respectfully yours,

Ella Paulino
Student of ISNHS

Best Describes Me

  "The Story of Us"                     Everyone has a story. Some people choose to tell theirs loudly, while others, like me, stay quiet  until they find the right moment to speak. This blog will be a small window into my world: not always perfect, not always loud, but always real. I may not be the most talkative in class, but through writing, I get to say things that I usually keep to myself.                   My name is Ella Mae M. Paulino, though my family calls me "Emae". I'm the youngest child in our family, which means I've always been a little more spoiled and a little more protected. People often say that I'm quiet, and maybe I am, but there's more to me than silence.               I grew up surrounded with life lessons, and while those changes made me more knowledgeable, they also taught me how to reflect, notice s...

THEMATIC OUTPUT

 A Journey Through Bantay, Ilocos Sur: Where History Meets Nature Nestled just beside the historic city of Vigan is the quiet yet captivating town of Bantay, Ilocos Sur Often overshadowed by its more famous neighbor, Bantay holds its own charm — a blend of deep-rooted history, natural beauty, and the warmth of its people. During my visit, I explored three of its most remarkable places: the Bantay Bell Tower, Caniaw Heritage and Nature Park, and Tagaytay Falls in Barangay Lingsat. Each destination offered a different experience, but together they revealed the heart and soul of this humble Ilocano town. My journey began at the Bantay Bell Tower, the most iconic landmark in the area. Perched on a small hill beside the St. Augustine Parish Church, the bell tower stands as a proud reminder of Bantay’s long and colorful past. Built in the late 1500s, it once served as a watchtower against invading forces, living up to the Ilocano word “bantay,” which means “to guard.” Climbing up the nar...
