September 24, 2022 Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. President, Republic of the Philippines Malacañang Palace, Manila Dear Mr. President,      Good day sir! I am a simple student studying at Ilocos Sur National High School, living the normality of life. First of all, I would like to congratulate you for being the new President of our country. I am really happy with your victory. My whole family really had high hopes for they really supported you.       I urged this opportunity to write to you to share my thoughts about this new and upcoming leadership of yours.

So, who am I really?      Hi! I am Abie Shane Terenj R. Gapate, most of the people who are close to me calls me ‘Abie’. Yet at home they call me ‘Shanang’. My hobbies differentiate on what mood I am in. Sometimes I really enjoy reading books, watching different movies and dramas, I often sleep, or to just basically be alone enjoying the calmness of me accompanying myself. I tend to be bright and talkative yet my family distinguish me as a crybaby, over some pathetic things. I am a softhearted one, independent, jolly and kind. With those good sides, I also have this attitude of being too short tempered and too impulsive at times. Secretly a very judgemental person. A very shy yet an ambitious girl. Very insecure ...
