Good day. We are students from Mapua University, Science and Technology (GED104-STS)
course from section B-2. The course we are taking strives to help the students develop their
brains to have critical thinking. The course we are taking also gives us an idea on how we can
help the community with the help of science and technology. Here in the Philippines, roads are
somewhat a problem. As one of our groupmates, Joseph Brian Pablo, is a resident and sees the
road problem in Barangay San Francisco Bulakan Bulacan, we would like to raise this concern
about this situation; thus we feel compelled to write this letter to express our desire to suggest a
resolution.
Roads do have many problems in them. It could be that the road needs widening, needs to be
repaired, or it could be that the road was not well taken care of. One of them is having tight
spaces in them. It has come to our attention that most of the cars are parked on the road, and it
made the road tight. Another problem that our member saw was that the road was rough. It isn’t
anyone’s fault. It just may be that the road was used too much. Given that the road is an
important part when it comes to us when we want to go somewhere, it would be delightful to
have it in good shape.
With these problems said, our group would like to suggest the following. First are the cars
parked on the road that tighten the road. It would be a good solution to have them park
somewhere else. One of our members also said that it is hard to drive when cars are parked on
the road. This solution could ease the traffic on the road. To be specific, if it is possible, to have
motor vehicles have their own parking space or garage. Next is the issue of rough roads. It has
also come to our attention that the roads are rough, and a good solution that might solve the
problem is upgrading to asphalt. It would require monetary value, but it could be better since it is
cheaper than concrete.
The suggestions shown here also have their pros and cons. Having every owner of the motor
vehicle have their own garage would require space for them. But it would be for the greater
good of the community since they are parking in a public area which cars or people pass
through. It could be troublesome work for the owners, but it should be given that they have their
own parking space before owning a motor vehicle. Having them have their own parking space
not only gives way for other people but will also be a solution that will not require road widening
that will take the space of the sidewalk. When it comes to upgrading to asphalt as the material
used on the road, there are many benefits. With the exception of surges in petroleum prices,
when the costs of the two forms of pavement are equivalent, asphalt is less expensive to install.
Asphalt surfaces are easier to fix; the majority of counties, townships and smaller localities will
have the necessary equipment. In order to have access to the utilities under the road, it is
simpler, quicker, and less expensive to remove and replace the asphalt. For automobiles,
asphalt offers higher traction and skid resistance.

1. Paragraph 1 (Introduction) – Give your salutations and pleasantries. Introduce also who you are
(students of Mapua University) and explain the nature of the course and subject you’re taking. Be sure
to indicate that one of your groupmates is a constituent of the mayor/governor.
2. Paragraph 2 (Your gap/s) – Provide an introduction about the gap or opportunity you have Noted. Be
constructive in identifying the gaps and be respectful of their initiatives. Avoid tones that incite finger-
pointing for faults or blaming.
3. Paragraph 3 (Your proposal) – Start by giving suggestions to the gaps you have identified. Each gap
you have identified in paragraph 2 must be matched with a constructive solution in paragraph 3. Be
constructive in proposing solutions. Focus on things that the government unit can take actions on
(implementation, better enforcement) rather than solutions that would require them to spend funds. If
the latter is inevitable, provide opportunities for partnerships with agencies that could give them access
to resources.
4. Paragraph 4 (Importance) – Discuss the benefit of hearing your proposals. This segment should
answer the question: “If the agency will follow our suggestions, what will be the impact to the public?”
Discuss the benefits from micro (small communities) to macro (the city/municipality/province) or the
country in general.
5. Paragraph 5 (Conclusion and Closing Salutations) – To close the correspondence, be sure to give your
contact details and encourage the office to communicate with your group if they have questions or
concerns. Put your closing remarks and be sure that all your groupmates will sign the letter. The
member of the group who is a constituent of the mayor/governor must be the first in the list of
signatory.
6. Annex: References – Include an attachment of references or links related to your proposed solutions
that the local official can check. It can be article copies, links to articles Send your petition to your local
