    Manila, Philippines 1004

    September 15, 2020

    Her Excellency
    Hon. Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo
    Vice President of the
    Republic of the Philippines
    100 10th St, New Manila,
    Quezon City, Philippines 1112

    Dear Vice President Leni Robredo:

    My name is John Paul Aquino, an undergraduate student from De La Salle University-Manila and
    an advocate of the liberation of Filipino rice farmers from poverty. The marginalization of Filipino
    farmers has been around since the days of feudalism. However, the export-dependent and import-
    oriented policies of the government exacerbated their struggles. These, coupled with the rising
    prices of basic commodities made it harder for the local farmers to penetrate the preferences of
    consumers. This predicament of the Filipino farmer folk can be the potential source of national
    issues in the course of time. However, I believe that they deserve a brighter and more secure future.
    With these hopes and aspirations in mind, our group will launch information drives through the
    use of social media and partnerships with local government units and non-governmental
    organizations. The social media campaign will focus on the dissemination of awareness about the
    real struggles of Filipino farmers. On the other hand, the partnerships with LGUs and NGOs aim
    to connect them with a stable market. Furthermore, local farmers at the grassroots level can learn
    more about sustainable agricultural practices through seminars and training. In the long run, we
    plan to expand the campaign nationwide to help more disenfranchised farmers.

    For all these reasons, we would like to ask for your support. In order to potentiate the scope of the
    campaign and reach a wider audience, we would like to partner with the Office of Vice President’s
    Angat Buhay program. This can be carried out through the linkage of local farmers as the source
    of rice and other produce to be used on the other initiatives of Angat Buhay. Moreover, the social
    media accounts of the OVP can publish and share publicity materials concerning the campaign.
    Your assistance in this campaign would help the movement tremendously. I am looking forward
    to working together towards a better future for the Filipino farmers. Thank you and Godspeed!

    Respectfully yours,

    John Paul Aquino

    Student
