A letter from Dec 17, 2025

To Future Me, Hi I'm Krishley, I am writing from Sta. Elena and truly believe that our municipality has the potential to become a global city in the future because Our municipality is strategically located. It serves as a gateway for trade, tourism, and mobility, connecting nearby towns and regions. This accessibility allows goods, services, and people to move efficiently—an essential characteristic of any global city. The people in our community is rich in culture, traditions, and skills. Many residents are adaptable, hardworking, and open to innovation. These human qualities are critical in a global city, where collaboration, creativity, and cultural exchange drive progress. Sta. Elena shows strong potential for economic growth. Schools, training programs, and local leadership initiatives are helping develop globally competitive citizens. I believe that someday Sta. Elena have the potential transformation and becomes possible. If we continue to nurture innovation, protect our environment, and embrace global perspectives while honoring local identity, our municipality can rise to global relevance. This letter reminds me that becoming a global city does not happen overnight. It begins with belief, responsibility, and collective action. Our municipality has what it takes—it only needs commitment and direction. Sincerely, Your Past Self LICARDO, KRISHLEY R.
