OPEN LETTER TO OUR DEAR CONGRESSMEN
To Our Dear Representatives,
First of all, permit us to remind you of your grave responsibilities before God 'and the Filipino people, incumbent on your office as part of the legislative body of the Philippine government. Before God, for all power is from Him. He is the universal creator and legislator. Those who exercise power exercise it in His name. You will one day have to render Him an account of your stewardship. Before the people, for they have placed their trust and confidence in you to help them live better and morally upright lives.
We are very aware of your effort to alleviate the present economic crisis in which Filipino people as a whole is suffering. But to sacrifice the moral values and the eternal welfare of car nation for the "presumed" future economic stability is an unacceptable imprudence which inevitably will put our nation in a far devastating predicament than we are suffering now. It would be a perversion of democracy. Wealth is not the principal cause of happiness. A nation who abandons basic moral laws and values runs downhill to national perdition. Precisely, the Supreme Law Giver has given us codes not only that we may effectively pursue our eternal happiness, but that even in this world we may have a taste of that happiness.
The humble work attached herewith which we would like you to study carefully, shows the sentiments of the conscientious and God-fearing Filipino people denouncing this malicious bill which is full of deception and fallacies. We, the Filipino citizen, in good conscience could never approve such bill. And if that bill would eventually become a law, it is most certain that you would have gravely violated the trust that the Filipino people have placed upon you. And in lieu of the benediction of God, you will heap God's maledictions, not only upon yourselves, but also, upon our poor nation. For God is not mocked!
The destiny of that bastard bill is in your hands... and so is the future of our nation.
We pray God that you may be enlightened and hinder the passing into law of this bill
and other bills of the same nature; and that you may be given fortitude to pursue effectively those that are really and truly necessary to the welfare, eternal and temporal, of the Filipino people.
Respectfully Yours,
Concerned Citizens
