Dear Madam,

Sa sampung porsyento pa pong idadagdag ninyo sa nagtataasan nangang presyo ng mga bilihin, maraming salamat po. Maraming salamat po sa pagkakataong ibinibigay ninyo sa akin upang makatulong sa bayan para makapagipon tayo at makabayad sa ating mga utang. Alam ko po kasing hindi pa sapat ang trenta porsyentong ina-awas sa sweldo ko at ang naunang 10% na pinapatong sa bilihin kaya naman pong laking tuwa ko nung malaman kong i-e-extend pa ang maari kong maitulong. Kasi naisip ko na hindi lahat ng tao ay nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na makatulong sa bayan. Katulad na lamang nung isang bilyonaryong beho na hindi ipinagbayad ng buwis. Kawawa naman sya - hindi sya pinagpala katulad naming inuumaga na madalas sa pagtratrabaho.

Simula po nang kayo ay naupo bilang pinuno ng ating bansa ay nakahiram na po kayo ng higit na salapi sa pinagsamang nahiram ng dalawang presidenteng sinundan nyo, ang swerte talaga namin at napakagaling nyong ekonomista. Pero ang higit na mas maswerte ay ang daang-daang nakatira sa payatas dahil simula nung tumuntong kayo sa posisyon ay mas may pinagpipilian na silang pagkain ngayon. Dati kasi, sardinas lang po ang lagi nilang kinakain sa araw-araw na ginawa ng dyos. Pero ngayon po ay hindi na paulit-ulit ang kinakain nila. Kung lunes ay patis ang ulam nila, sa martes naman po ay toyo at sa miyerkules ay asin.

Ang himbing siguro ng tulog ninyo sa gabi dahil alam ninyong ang dami nyong natutulungan.

I saw you on TV last week defending the passing of the extended-VAT. You stood there (or you might have been sitting down - i dont know how big a difference that would make anyhow), and you stared straight into the camera (as, no doubt, your consultants have trained you to do) and you told every Filipino who had nothing better to do than watch you that night how this EVAT will benefit us all in the long-run as it will be use for servicing our debt and improving the lives of every Filipino. You told us that it is the only way to do this. That making me part with more of my hard-earned money is the only way to do this.

Excuse me ma'am, and please correct me if I am wrong for I am but a lowly middle-class citizen with no economics degree to back me up, but wouldn't it be better if, instead of passing this EVAT, you go after the millionaires who refuse to pay their taxes. I'm sure you can talk to them easily since most of them are your friends. Maybe that's a better first step than this.

Or hey, how about taking a little from the pork barrel you reward your pet pigs. Or, at the very least, making sure that they spend it well, to the benefit of all citizens and not just the people in your favor. How's that for plan b.

Madame, I am pass wanting you out of office. For me, that option was taken off the table the day the congressmen you bought on sale threw your impeachment case out the window. And I do not want your resignation. Resignation is far too graceful an exit for a cheater stupid enough to get caught to take. So I will not march the streets of Edsa or carry a "Resign" sign in Mendiola. I will demand from you something far more difficult than your resignation. I want you to right what is wrong. You have always claimed to be upright and decent and moral, please rectify your errors now. I don't expect miracles from you madam president, just take concrete steps to lead us to the right direction. And I promise you, I will do what is necessary as a citizen to help you raise this country from the mire.

We were once great. We were once the envy of our neighbors. We were once the promise of Asia. Unfortunately, I never got to see that day but I hope I'll still be here when it comes back.

Salamat po.
