Imperfect Yet Capable

   


     In keeping a whole country in check requires a strong-willed and brave leader, a leader who has the genuine capability to lead. A leader who is imperfect yet can manage to bring betterment, and a leader who doesn't allow destructive criticism to cross the line of his work. 

     President Duterte is controversial for his way of addressing national issues, he is being criticized for every actions he's made yet people don't realize the deeper meaning of it. He received backlash from ignorant people, people who doesn't even want to understand what his true intentions are.

     We hope that you still have the capacity to lead us despite the controversies about you. In these remaining time of yours as our president, we, your countrymen, still hope that you can make this country progress and heal. I'm positive that with the likes of you, we would be able to recover primarily from this deadly pandemic that caused the demise of thousands of our fellow countrymen. All of us depend on you and your government. We'll always pray for your long-lasting health and may the Lord bless you the skills and knowledge to come up with a plan to make our country, our land, great again as it once was.

It is an unseen enemy that presented us not only our vulnerabilities within our healthcare systems and governance, but also the way we handle such situation. It displayed the genuine essence of humanity in most people through cooperation and providing guidance and assitance to people who desperately need it, while others just revealed that they are not what they seemed and claimed to be. It has most taught us that our safety and well-being relies undeniably on our actions.      (REUTERS/Eloisa Lopez).

This activism led to what they are now.             Women make up one of the few minorities that are numerical majorities. They typically outnumber men when it comes to demographics in most communities. Despite that, the oppression and marginalization of women has taken place in many societies for some time now. This March marks the best time to bring that and related issues to the forefront.             March is Women’s History Month in a lot of countries including the US. In the Philippines, it is often referred to by the government as N...
