Good Day !!!!!
Hello mam. Im Aldrich Joseph Navarro, a student of AB Political Science In Laguna College Of Business and Arts at Calamba City. Im a working student at KFC Tanauan. I'm planning to apply to take LAE ( law aptitude examination ) at UP College Of Law. Im a graduating student this coming school year but because I'm a self supporting, I maybe or really cannot afford to continue my ambition to study in a law school because of financial needs. Imagine, 1000 pesos per unit, a sem composes 17 units plus misc fees, the total value maybe more or less 22,000 pesos per sem. Im only erning 5000 pesos per month. I really cannot afford to pursue my dreams. But Im hoping that there are persons who willing to sponsor a student to continue his study.
As a lawyer you maybe understand what I feel. I wrote because I what to ask in your respectful office if you are offering scholarships for a law student like me. I believed that because of your achievements, you wanted to share it to others by means of helping people like me. I am willing to do everything for you just to yes. I am also willing to follow for your requirements for a scholar. Just tell me if you want me to go to your office and I will for you to know me better. I will wait for your reply mam. I hope I am not disturbing you in your work because I know that you are pretty busy. Please reply me to the ff.

Hello Ma'am, I am Robert Alfie Peña. I just want to greet you because you know, I idolize you so much. I read your biography in the internet, and I was amazed by how your life has been, very colorful. I also want t tell you, "you are comparable to the greatest men and women of our time," only that some people cheated light which guides everyone. Thank you for being an inspiration to the youth and to me.

Thank you for visiting our site. I am very sorry if the comments came in late.
For ambiet: I am sorry but the office cannot give out scholarships to indigent students, even the most deserving ones. But still, follow your dreams and apply for the LAE. There are a lot of scholarships available for law students, and you can apply for the STFAP--the Socialized Tuition Fee Assistance Program--once you get in UP. The Senator also did not come from a well-off family, but she still pushed through with her studies through hard work and diligence. We believe that you can achieve your goals like the Senator did. Good luck and we wish all the best to you.
For alfie, thank you for your kind words to our Senator. She really appreciates it when she hears from her constituents, especially the youth. It is the support from people like you that inspires the Senator to serve the country.
Please tell your friends about Senator Santiago's blog, and keep posting your comments, suggestions, and opinions.
Thank you.

The Honorable Miriam Defensor Santiago
Senator
Republic of the Philippines
Dear Madame Senator;
Greetings! First of all, I would like to commend you for all that you have done for our country. I have always looked up to your bravery, honesty and devotion to the people of the Philippines. I remember vividly when you gave the inspirational message during our graduation from our Physical Therapy Program back in 1997. Since then, I have strived to follow my dreams. Unfortunately, lack of good opportunities from the Philippines made us migrate to the United States.
Just recently, our lives were placed on a stand still when my husband received a letter from the Federation of the State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT). According to this letter, effective May 16, 2007 they will not be releasing scores for all Filipino Physical Therapists who took the PT licensing exam who graduated from the Philippines pending an investigation of cheating from a review center in Manila. While I acknowledge their concern and continued effort to uphold the integrity of the physical therapy profession, I feel that this is not just unlawful, but also a discriminatory act against Filipinos. Our family was caught in the middle of this mess although we have not been in the Philippines in the past 2 years. My husband and I have graduated back in 1997, long before these review centers came into existence. My husband does not hold a local license in the Philippines and has not decided to take the US licensing exam until last year. However, just because he is a Filipino and a graduate from the Philippines, his scores are on hold just like the rest.
You have always been known as a warrior senator, very respectable and intelligent lawyer. I am writing today to appeal for your help to verify the legality of FSBPT’s actions and to help facilitate the immediate investigation of this matter. Please log on to www.donsausa.com for a complete background of the dilemma that Filipino Therapists are now facing. We are respectfully requesting for your intervention on the matter since the lives of thousands of Filipino immigrants are at stake. FSBPT claims that they consulted the Philippine government before they executed this decision. However, they did not indicate which agency in the Philippines they contacted. If this is true, I feel that Filipinos has been done a disservice by their own Philippine government by allowing FSBPT to look down upon all Filipinos and to punish all of us pending the result of their investigation. I believe that as a lawyer, you will agree with me when I say that “everyone is innocent until proven guilty.”
I have chosen to seek your help since I know that you have always been a pro active Filipino. You have a way to command attention and always have a resolution for almost everything that is laid upon your hands. My husband and I, together with the Filipino Therapist community will be eternally grateful for your help and attention to this matter.
Respectfully yours,
babyko
Dear Madam Senator.
May the Greatest God guard and bless you always.
Madam i would like you to know that i appreciate what your doin in the senate. You are truely a remarkable and wonderful person. Your position in the senate is highly commendable because you are truely representing the Filipino people. I know its difficult to guard the integrity of the senate specially if some of your collegues were more after with their political ambitions, Hungry for publicity and not for the welfare of the Filipino as a whole. I am sorry for the hardships you are experiencing in depending the integrity of the senate, I know its hard to guard and protect it.
Madam may i suggest, can we ammend our constitution in the selection of our Senate officials? why can't do our selection of senate officials by region. I know there were some politicians like you, that thier prime objectives is to serve the people. They were not only given a chance to prove their worthiness because of their inadequacy to campaign nationaly, aside from that they were not well verse to play the media, becasue their concentration is really to serve the people. We don't need a charter change, what we need is to the develop a system in selecting our senate officials. Since our constitution prime objectives is to serve, protect and represent the people, why we cannot do it in the senate? to represent the people. The current senate officials even to include the incoming senator, majority of them comes from Luzon. Mindanao again was not properly represented, Can we not make the selection of our Senators oinstead of selecting them nationally, can we not make it by regions? So that all corners, race, colors of our country and people were properly represented in the senate? Aside from that, so that those politicians in the provinces with good motives in serving the people will be given a chance to prove their worthiness like you. and most of all, so that the senate will go back to its real integrity and not to become a chamber of circus and carnivals. Do you think its now time to make the senate to becomeof community of leaders with proper intellect whose primary aim is to serve the people? we have 12 regions in the old regional groupings of provinces in our country before. NCR, CAR, and ARMM if to be separated and group them as regions, then we have 15 regions all in all. If we were going to select 2 senators each regions, we have 30 senators to be elected. If 15 of them will be elected in the Presidential elections and the other in the midterm elections, I think this is pretty good, because all the regions of our country will be definitely represented, and even our muslim brothers will be given a chance to prove their worthiness. What do you think madam?
