President Duterte Helps Out Filipino 6th Grader In California With His School Report
President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday, October 28, took time
to oblige a 6th grader’s request for a greeting and shot a short video message
with a simple “hello” to the boy’s teacher and classmates.
In a handwritten letter dated October 25, 11-year-old Andre
Gabriel Custodio Esteban, who resides in Fresno, California, USA and student of
the Fresno Adventist Academy, asked the Philippine leader for a video clip for
a school report.
On October 28, Special Assistant to the President
Christopher “Bong” Go posted a 48-second clip showing the President saying
“Hello,” to Mrs. Ricchiuti, Andre’s teacher, and giving the Pinoy child a
heartwarming advice.
“Good day, I would like to say hello to Mrs. Ricchiuti, and
the students in Fresno Adventist Academy, in California, USA, especially to you
Andre,” President Duterte said in the video.
“Andre, I received your letter request and I am most happy
to oblige. I am sure that you will do a great report about our beloved country,
the Philippines,” he added. “Continue being a good son and study well, and may
God bless you and your family and all of us in this planet Earth.”
Andre, in his letter, explained that he would be presenting
a Nationality Report on the Philippines on November 15.
“I am a proud Filipino and I really like you as our
president and I wish to meet you someday,” he wrote.
“I know that you are
very busy because you are a very hard-working president… but can I ask you a
special favor? Can you please send me a short video clip of you saying hello to
my teacher, Mrs. Ricchiuti, my classmates, and I? Maraming maraming salamat po!”
