Dear Sir/Madam,

We are 4th-year Civil Engineering Students from National University - Manila, currently working on our capstone project. We would like to request access to the geotechnical report of the Tubbataha Ranger Station, as it is near the location of our capstone project in Brgy. Nusa, Cagayancillo, Palawan. This information will be invaluable in helping us assess the soil bearing capacity, as the conditions in Tubbataha closely resemble those in Cagayancillo, where similar data is unavailable. 

We assure you that the data will be used strictly for educational purposes.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to your positive response. 

Best regards, 
Jessa Bungalso
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
