Sir:

Greetings!

Good Day! I hope you're in a good mood. This letter is all about the economic recovery of our country. And it is for our own good.

Not a few countries emerged from poverty to progress because of the good virtues of their top government officials. They are not only competent administrators but also they are honest and they have been dedicated to national interests. On the other hand, many government officials of less developed countries are corrupt. (I'm not saying Filipinos are part of it)

However, the people have an equal responsibility in the economic recovery of their own country. We despise our own products. But we still have attitudes and values which are not favorable to our own economic growth. It has been said that a country is only as good as its people. Economic programs are useless if they are not properly implemented. And as far as the Philippines is concerned, there has always been a big difference between a plan and action. We are very good in formulating programs but we are very poor in implementing and managing them.

Thank You Sir!

Respectfully yours,

RICKA VITUS R. DUMALANTA
