DEAR Editor,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on bringing out wonderful and interesting issues every week. But my main reason for writing is that I wonder why most letters I read on your letters to the editor page are about some cartoon show on GMA-7. I wonder, is this all you get from children these days?

I believe that children nowadays have strong opinions on issues surrounding them. I would like to read one of these weeks what a reader thinks about the things going on in Mindanao or about the Estrada presidency or about the poor. Aren't there any letters like that that you could print? I would just like to think that the children nowadays have more in mind than cartoons on GMA 7. Thank you for hearing me out.--MATTHEW ROSALES, 17, devlish@edsamail.com.ph

Dear Matthew,
Most of the letters we receive from our readers are about cartoons. We aren't even publishing everything we receive because some of the letters repeat questions already taken up or request things we can't grant. And when we do get letters tackling other matters, we do print them. Food for thought?--Editor
