I wish I still have a kid who can join this contest. Though my autistic son is 9 years old and now can write I am afraid that if he sends a letter to the President it will all be NICK JR logos and local/cable stations IDs. At any rate this is a noteworthy contest and I hope there will be more to come.

Pangulo ng Pilipinas
Mahal na Pangulong Aquino:
Maligayang Bati po! Ako po si Stephanie D. Obra, labing isang taong gulang, nasa ika-anim na baitang pangkat- Diamond (1) ng Hen Pio del Pilar Elementary Schol I, Lungsod ng Makati. Ang aking mga magulang ay sina Salvador F. Obra ,09228501133 at si Lorie Obra 09184736731.
Sana po mabigyan ako ng pagkakataon na maging bahagi ng DAANG MATUWID, dahil nais ko pong maibahagi sa mga kapwa ko kabataan ang mga kakayanan na kaya naming gampanan kahit kami ay bata pa lamang. Hangad po namin na bigyang pansin ninyo ang mga kabataang tulad ko na makilahok sa inyong platapormang “Daang Matuwid.” Kami pong mga kabataan ang inyong magiging buntot sa Daang Matuwid.
Hihikayatin ko po ang mga batang katulad ko na magkaroon ng takot sa Diyos upang maisakatuparan ng mahusay ang daang matuwid. Alam naman po nating lahat na walang imposible sa panginoon. Siya ang gagabay sa atin sa lahat ng mga gagawin natin sa buhay. Ang magkaroon ng katapatan sa paglilingkod sa bansa ang pangunahing sangkap upang matupad ang daang matuwid.
Bilang isang batang iskawt at isa sa mga lider ng aming paaralan,hihimukin ko po sila na magkaroon ng tiwala sa sarili dahil bilang isang batang lider, kaya na naming gumawa ng mga bagay na may kabuluhan tulad ng paglutas sa sariling suliranin, makilahok sa mga gawain sa pamayanan at sa bansa. Bilang batang lider, maari din kaming makibahagi sa mga pagpupulong sa pamayanan, makisali sa samahang pangkabataan kung saan ilalaan ang sarili na maging mabuting tagasunod o maging mabuting pinuno.
Hihikayatin ko din po ang mga kapwa ko kabataan na kahit kami ay mga bata lamang kailangan din naming maipahiwatig ang aming mga saloobin o nararamdaman ng may paggalang at bilang isang bata kailangan din naming makapaglayag sa mundong ibabaw. Dapat din naming makita at matutunan lalo’t higit maunawaan ang mga bagay na ginagawa namin at maipamahagi din sa ibang tao.
Sa ating pagsulong upang mapaigting ang kaalaman ng mga kabataan,nararapat lamang na bigyan niyo din kami ng puwang sa inyong mga hangarin sa bansa upang maipakita ang aming sariling kahusayan. Ang tuwid na pamamahala ay nangangahulugan din ng tuwid at walang bahid na pandaraya.
Lubos na gumagalang ,
Stephanie D. Obra
