Babies nowadays are easily getting sick.Do you think breastfeeding has something to do with it? And why is it so important to give it to the babies?
         We are now living in a modern world. New products have been created by our own inventors. One example of it is the milk. Groceries are full of commercial milks in different brands.

Virtually all mothers can breastfeed, provided they have accurate information, and the support of their family, the health care system and society at large.
Colostrum, the yellowish, sticky breast milk produced at the end of pregnancy, is recommended as the perfect food for the newborn, and feeding should be initiated within the first hour after birth.

Dear Mr. President,
             Before anything else, I just want to greet you a pleasant day. It's indeed a pleasurewriting a letter to a person like you knowing that you have the highest position in the government here in the Philippines. Many people are planning to write a letter for you but they can't find the right time to do so. And when our teacher told us to write a letter, i didn't hesitate to do it because it will be the right time to tell you about my insights or let's say our insights about your present administration. Being a president is a very hard job but in almost a year of ruling our country, I can say you did your best but it wasn't enough to face all the problems and challenges our country is still facing right now.
              Our country is in amidst of many problems like corruption, poverty and others. Filipino's are expecting much from you for this coming year around. Most of us depends on you, on how you solve and face the problems our country is facing right now. And on how you can change and touch the lives of many people. Always think that in every action you'll make can affect many lives. I hope that the first thing you'll consider is on the betterment of your men or the people around you. We're hoping much from you, hoping you'll handle all the problems in our country very well.
