PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE
Malacañang Palace Compound
J. P. Laurel Street, San Miguel
Manila
Philippines

Dear President Duterte,

I am astonished on how good you are in handling our country, the Philippines. Our country may not be the best, but you are making our country a better one, a better country where we can live to the fullest, where can we able to fulfill our dreams, and everyone- especially the poor, they will be able to express themselves without fear and find their rightful place in society. You put the criminals into the jail, you put illegal drug addicts into the jail. Without your great leadership our country will not be good as what we have now. But the problem is your project that was implemented last June 30, 2016, "The Oplan Tokhang" or " The war on illegal drugs". We all know that through this project, there will be no drug addicts anymore, the crimes such as rape, holdaping and other crimes will be lessen, but we have this concern about this project that you had implemented. Because of that there are so many innocent lives, wrecked homes and destroy dreams. Mr. President we are in full support of your desire to abolish this drug problem. Like you, we want those immoral persons and groups that possibly enter our country to be found, arrested and brought to jail.

Sincerely yours,
Mary Grace Pablico
