Dear Sir:
I’m a sophomore management student at the Ateneo de Manila University. I’m an ordinary citizen of the Philippines and I wish to share a first hand reflection or shall I say reminder to the people in the system governing ordinary citizens — like me.
In this time of national crisis, leadership is a very crucial aspect of society. In view of this, I wish to contribute an original poem entitled, “Leader’s Oath.” May this serve as a simple reminder to the leaders already in the system and to the individuals aspiring to be leaders of the system.
Just in case my poem is not worthy of publication, please do return it to me immediately. I have enclosed a self stamped, self-addressed envelope. Thank You and More Power!
Sincerely Yours,
(Signed)
Rom Cumagun






hindi ko alam kung ako lang ba yung may pakiramdam na ganito. hindi ko alam kung ayaw ko ba makisama sa mga nangyayaring ito. di ko alam ang gagawin ko, bakit ba kasi ganito? hindi kita maintindihan, alam ko magmumukhang bastos ako. ano na ba’ng napag-aralan ko? gumawa ng account…
You made some really good points there. I looked on the web for additional information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this website.

Hi Frank, thank you for cross-reading ideas of this website to others. My goal is to be relevant to a wide range of readers globally, though my main readers would be fellow Filipinos.
