Dear President,
I am a 4th year student of Ilocos Sur National High School. I am writing this to inform you about "black Sand Mining" here in Ilocos Sur specially at our municipality Caoayan. And to ask you to do everything in your power to ensure that the "Black Sand Mining" will be gone. Are you willing to help us in stopping the black sand mining? And remove all those local officials who are protecting the operation in the black sand mining?
It's hard to just say "Stop Black Sand Mining!" because they are protected by the local officials. I wrote this letter to you because I know you have all the power and you can stop the operation of the black sand mining. Ordinary individual can't stop these because we are not in the position. What I mean is that we can't fight those operators and protectors of the black sand mining. But if your the one who will stop the continuing operation of the black sand mining I know and believe you can stop this.
The island Puro is in great danger because of the black sand mining. If there would still be no action I'm afraid this island will sink one day. It is protected by local officials so we can't just stop it. We need your help in this problem Mr. President we need your powers as the president of this country. If you really care for our country you must start fixing operations like this.
Thank you and we hope that you will act on this.
Respectfully Yours,
Frances Marie Alcayaga
IV-Maxwell
