Letter of His Excellency BENIGNO S. AQUINO III
President of the PhilippinesIn response to the Facebook note, “Mr. President, Something In You Has To Die”
Hello, Reyn. This is your President.
First of all, thank you for your note on Facebook. Such insights from concerned citizens are vital in a maturing democracy such as ours, where all avenues and technologies should be explored in order to raise the level of public discourse. However, thoughts expressed in such sites, which can sometimes be incendiary, spread easily without the necessary validation. This is why I felt the need to respond to your letter.
