Appeal to the President: Distribute wealth equally

Dear Mr. President,

I am writing you as a practicing Catholic Christian with true love for our God, our country, and our fellow Filipinos, and with a serious concern for the progress, development, and furtherance of better opportunities here, now and in the future for the poor and marginalized. I know that you wish to lead the country, its government, and people to greater, continuous heights in our industries, businesses, economy, agriculture, energy, transportation, environment, health, education, public service, and other essentials of good, virtuous governance. We trust in you to provide us with the best goals, objectives, purposes, and direction to drive us toward sure success in all endeavors.

I now urge you as our committed leader who was elected with a huge mandate by the Filipinos to serve our people well and with firm intent throughout your six-year term.

We desire to specify to you that the wealth of our country must be equally distributed across all groups, sectors, and levels of our society to ensure that growth trickles down to all. Let us strive hard to eliminate, eradicate, and get rid of corruption, graft, malversation, wrongdoing, dishonesty, falsification, fraudulence, misconduct, criminality, lawbreaking, bribery, extortion, profiteering, and other forms of unscrupulous acts.

With your well-established experiences in various fields, we are certain that the best will benefit each and every Filipino.
