From the Present's Future: A Letter to the President

August 25, 2025

Office of the President

Malacañang Palace

JP Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila


Mr. President: 

I am writing this letter to you to inform you about the well-being of the "Pag-asa ng Bayan", the students. 


I am writing this letter to reach out to you on the education system of our country. I believe, you are doing your best to improve it. I highly appreciate your effort. But, what remains the real problem of the education sector is the well-being of the students. 

Students these days are prone to mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc.. which affects their academic performance. I am fully aware of the steps you are doing regarding this issue. But, Mr. President it's not enough. Bigger actions are needed for these kind of problems. Especially now that it has been affecting millions of Filipino students. 

I am hoping that certain actions will be done and laws regarding students' well-being may be implemented. Hence, we hope for a bigger action.   

We highly appreciate the thought of adding more guidance counselors to schools, promoting inclusivity, and conducting seminars on students' mental health. Nevertheless, these are not enough. 

I think we should look on the main problem of the students inside the classroom. I have identified that one of the problems students are facing are loads of schoolwork. They need to do schoolwork even on weekends and holidays; that was supposed to be a time with their family, friends, and time for rest and leisure. 

I believe that students, just like our teachers, have their own lives and families too. If our teachers get tired, we, the students get tired too. We are both humans, and not robots who tirelessly work for hours and even days.  

Let's not just look on one side, let's look in everyone's perspective. 

This is for the future of our country. Para sa mga Pag-asa ng Bayan. 

Best regards, 

Kate Bernice R. Macaranas

Chapter 1: Her Persona

 My name is Kate Bernice and I was born in 2009 ~ (Taylor Swift 1989 reference)           As I have mentioned, I am Kate Bernice R. Macaranas, I was born on August 28, 2009, at Gabriela Silang General Hospital, to my parents Bernard and Anecia Macaranas.          Her Persona; my chosen title for my About Me blog is not just a randomly chosen word, but a very meaningful one. Her Persona, was actually extracted from my favorite KPOP group's albums: Love Yourself; Her and MAP OF THE SOUL: Persona. Therefore, this blog is about her; me, and the map of my soul—my persona.        You already had a little bit glimpse of me, from my introduction, my name, my birthday, my parents, and the school where I am currently enrolled, and probably you also had an idea from my intro on the artists that I stan. But now, let me introduce you to my persona.      I studied pre-elementary and elementary in ...

Para sa Kalikasan; Para sa Kinabukasan

  A small trash can have a big impact to the environment. Even the littlest wrappers of candy, tiny packets of biscuits, and many more can already contribute in damaging the environment. And just like how important a small trash is, our small actions to the environment, for the environment is also important. Even simply bringing home  your trashes or putting it in your pocket when there's no garbage cans in the surrounding can have a lasting—big impact to our environment.  As students, it is just right for us to learn the different ways of taking care of our environment. We are the 'future',  and the future depends on us.  We have the power to change what our world is today. We have the power, we hold the power towards an eco-friendly, safe, and sustainable environment.  What we do in the present, will surely  have a lasting impact on the future.  Think before you throw.
