Dear President Duterte,
We are writing as concerned students, future leaders, and global citizen to encourage you to support the provision of enough fund to sustain the educational needs of young learners like us who are adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We applaud your efforts to increase the allocated budget for the provision of quality education to all Filipino learners.
The unprdicted existence of the COVID-19 pandemic has totally and abruptly change the educational landscape in our country. The classroom we used to spend our learning hours has been diverted into a home confinement where learning in the new normal set-up is being observed. Indeed, we miss the moments of learning with our classmates and listening directly to our teachers’ instructions in the classroom. We don’t experience now carrying our backpacks full of learning materials. This is somewhat disappointing most especially that we are on the adjustment period of learning amidst the pandemic. We are now having our modular learning and we find it very difficult to study considering the limited materials we have. We feel the necessity of having gadgets and accessibility to internet as important learning resources. For this, we stand against the many challenges brought by the pandemic by having a good faith in the government under your leadership to provide us the materials we need to continue our studies. We are looking forward for the allocation of reasonable budget to sustain our education needs as we are hoping that our young dreams will still be possibly realized.
We never lose our hope in the goodness of our government to address the needs of the young learners like us. We firmly believe that our voice be heard as we cry out for your support to our needs as young learners and future leaders of our land.
Respectfully Yours,
