From the mouth of babes
Scarlet Snow answers some very important questions
1. WHO DO YOU THINK ARE GOOD LEADERS AND WHY DO YOU CHOOSE THEM?
Daddy, mommy, and God. I choose God because not just because He is powerful and He can do anything, but also because he is our good Father in heaven and he always wants what is best for us. That’s why He should be followed all the time. Daddy naman because he’s my daddy, and Mommy because she is my mommy. They’re very good in leading me and I really like following them.
2. IF YOU WERE THE LEADER OF THE PHILIPPINES, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO AND WHY?
I would make the people stop putting bad things into the ocean that hurt that sharks and the turtles and the fishes. I want the sea animals to be safe so that we peoples will be safe too. Like when the fisherman catch fish they won’t catch dead fish and sell it in the market.
3. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY TO THE OTHER KIDS WHO LOOK UP TO YOU?
This is a hard one. First I want to say “thank you,” and also I want to tell them to always love the Philippines and take care of the Philippines. I know we’re still small but we can show we love our country by, for example, always putting trash in the trash can. Oh, and also I want to tell them to always, always obey their parents and pray for them like they pray for us.
4. LASTLY, WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE MOST LIKE—YOUR MOM OR YOUR DAD? WHY?
Both. Why? Because if I say Daddy, Mommy will get hurt and if say Mommy, Daddy will get hurt.
I’m like Daddy because we have them same eyebrows and same forehead. I’m also like Daddy because I love Jesus and I like talking to Him. Mommy naman I’m like her because we both love to bake and we are both chatty.
I know we’re still small but we can show we love our country by, for example, always putting trash in the trash can. Oh, and also I want to tell them to always, always obey their parents and pray for them like they pray for us
