On July 23, 2018, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte delivers his 3rd State of the Nation Address(SONA) at Batasan Pambansa in Quezon City. According to thesummitexpress, the SONA 2018 was delayed for an hour because there was an issue who will be seated beside the president. And it properly started at 5:22
            In his speech, President Duterte quoted , "About 2 years ago, I solemnly took my oath as a worker of the national gov't. I was inspired to institute real changes for the greater good of the Filipino people." After he said those words, he said that his war against illegal drugs was far from over and will not stop or slow down in his campaign. He also said that illegal drugs wasted away lives and ruined relationships. He also put his attention to corruption and said that it must be stopped in order to improve his services. He also put his attention to the safety and the well-being of his countrymen and also the bright future of our country. He knows that we worry about our lives today but he is preparing the country for a future with no illegal drugs involved.
            To sum it all up, this year’s SONA is really special. It’s all about the future of our country, the safety of our countrymen, and his was against illegal drugs. We should trust in our president more because he is a one of a kind leader and we are blessed enough to have him as our president.

"June 12: A Day to Remember"

    Independence Day is a day where we celebrate the anniversary of our country’s freedom from the hands of other countries. It is important to celebrate this day because it’s a day that reminds us the day we were freed from colonization. And our country, the Philippines, is important for us to celebrate Philippine Independence Day. The reason is after many years of being slaved and colonized, we were finally free. Philippine Independence is celebrated to remind us that our country is an independent and free country. And it is not governed by other countries. The time our countrymen was being slaved and the time we were finally released from their hands. And that is the reason we celebrate Independence Day.

"A letter to the President"

July 9, 2018 PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE Malacanang Palace Compound J.P. Laurel Street, San Miguel Manila Philippines Dear Mr. President,                 Good day Mr. President! I’m a Grade 10 student from Ilocos Sur National High School and I would like to acknowledge the things you are doing in your “War against drugs” campaign.                 I believe that your campaign is having a great start to make our country a “drug-free” country because there are currently a lot of drug pushers in rehabilitation and the so called “drug lords” number is becoming less and less. Although a lot people disagree with your ways because they think it’s brutal and feel that their rights as a person is being violated. I think that this is a good way of lessening the number of drug users and even prevent some people from using drugs.        ...

Equallity for Everyone

They say that no man is an island and even if you're lonely sometimes, there will always be a person who will care for you. And men are made to be with women and women are made for men. And together they can do a lot of things like building a family and helping each other to survive. But in today’s time inequality is arising. It has a lot of negative effects to women and to the world. Women feel like they have no sense in the community and they do not feel important because of how men treat them. They treat them like slaves and they don’t appreciate their skills. And that changed the meaning of equality where everyone's right is equal and should be respected. Unity is being forgotten but we can bring it back again. In order to achieve equality, we made laws to respect and protect everyone’s right. Through that, equality can be slowly regained. But some countries don’t have these laws and don't consider women’s rights but we hope that they can make laws in order to achi...
