A president is the head of state and head of government in a republic. The specific powers and responsibilities of an president vary from country to country, depending on the form of internationally. The president is directly elected by the people and serves a single six-years term. They have significant executive powers, including the power to appoint cabinet members, command the armed forces and veto legislation.
Given that President Bongbong Marcos Jr.'s SONA has just concluded, let's remember that he promised to do everything to enforce the laws, a common disaster in the Philippines, intense flooding whenever there's storm we're facing, in this case he promised that every regions in this country must have look forward for the project "Flood Control." Many people judged him immediately and did not believe what he said, because they felt he would not be able to fulfill his promises. In this regard, he was not given a chance to truly show that he could deliver.
As a citizen who yearn for the promises made by a national leader to be fulfilled, we also have the freedom to see for the processes involved in achieving those promises, whether they are actually being fulfilled or simply vanishing like bubbles. We repeatedly where these promises are needed. And as a student who is being told that do not have the right to speak, from this statement I'm not agreeing with it, we are allowed to speak up because we also benefit from this.
I simply want clearer explanations regarding the events happening around you, Mr. President, whether you are still aware or you are just letting your fellow citizens suffer. Are you just letting us suffer? Yes, we are students, but we also have the right to say our opinions because this was also for the freedom of the Filipinos to know the truth.
Sincerely yours,
Rannie A. Aquino
