PROS. JESSE REY M. SILVOSA Office of the Provincial Prosecutor – Surigao del Norte Hall of Justice, Provincial Capitol Surigao City, Surigao del Norte 8400
Sir, I am writing to express my interest in the position of Associate Prosecution Attorney in the province of Surigao del Norte. I have always had a strong interest in both the law and public service. Based on my understanding of your office and on my conversations with other public servants, I am convinced that the position I am applying for will afford me with sufficient opportunity to practice my chosen profession, serve the public, and achieve a greater sense of purpose. I have gained significant experience in legal writing and research during my 6month stint as a legal assistant, working online with a US-based marketing firm. During the same period, I also worked as freelance writer and authored several legal articles regarding US intellectual property, real estate and tax laws, Canadian tort and personal injury laws, as well as Philippine labor law. Lastly, I’ve also had the privilege to teach and mold young minds by working as a political science professor in St. Paul University Surigao. I thrive on legal work that requires significant responsibility and ability, not only to the organization but also to the public. I was impressed by the fact that the prosecutors I’ve spoken to were not focused solely on obtaining the harshest punishment for the defendants that they prosecuted. Instead, they were more worried about achieving the ends of justice. Should I be fortunate enough to your office, I wholeheartedly intend to embody the same ideals and ethical principles. A career with the Department of Justice, specifically the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor, would be a natural outcome of my longstanding interest in public service and my academic concentration on criminal law, civil law, remedial law, and trial practice. Please refer to the attached Curriculum Vitae for more details on my background and what I have to offer. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely yours,
ATTY. JASON OLIVER C. SUN, J.D. Applicant
