THE TARGET of serious criminal investigation in Washington, DC, Guam congressional delegate Mike San Nicolas has avoided coming back to Guam, since a $1,000-a-ticket fundraiser in January. Now, a recent paid ad circulating on Facebook suggests, Guam’s congressman may going through an identity crisis - again. “Gurl...is that you??”

Using misleading and flat out deceptive paid advertising on Facebook, and supported by manufactured false news stories on a popular social media gossip page, San Nicolas continues to dodge island media and his congressional opponents former UOG president Robert Underwood and Republican senator Wil Castro.

The scandalous first-term congressman from Talofofo, who is under very serious criminal investigation for numerous things, including soliciting, accepting, and falsely reporting illegal campaign donations from foreign nationals, filing false reports, trying to impede a congressional investigation, among other charges, cites in his Facebook ad, a quote of the House Majoirty Leader, Steny Hoyer, without actually using his name. Maybe Mike thinks he’s an old white guy, from Maryland now....who knows.

Either way, San Nicolas is clearly, delusional - or thinks Guam voters are stupid. Or both.

Or perhaps, with all that sleeping on the job, Mike has big dreams of being Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. After all, she is the one who is negotiating with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. There is no committee work nor any  votes left where he can vote. Final passage of any negotiated bill will not include delegates voting.

No - the drowsy liar is merely using coronavirus as an excuse to avoid coming home to face the people, to answer questions and to debate Robert Underwood.

The House - where San Nicolas sits - released its own second stimulus proposal, the Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act...almost 80 days ago.  The second stimulus proposal from Senate Republicans is called the Help, Economic Assistance, Liability Protection and Schools (HEALS) Act. They are expected to try to get that worked out before Congress adjourns for a month-long recess on Aug. 7.

To see the truth, all we have to do is look to the north - to our neighbors in the CNMI. Their congressman, Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, who had done a lot more and for a lot less, and has no scandals or criminal investigations to haunt him, has returned to Saipan to face voters there in his re-election bid.

“Kilili” - who was unable to count on support from absent delegate on crucial bills and amendments - filed for re-election with his family by his side today.

“This election takes place when the Marianas is in the middle of a deep crisis. We are all trying to keep safe from the coronavirus and struggling to rebuild and reopen our economy,” the CNMI congressman told his island’s media.

“I have worked harder than ever over the last two years: Making sure the people of the Marianas had every possible form of aid from the federal government to recover from typhoons Mangkhut and Yutu,” Kilili said, not mentioning that this hard work was ignored by San Nicolas who missed this, and other votes that would have helped CNMI and Guam, in numerous critical ways.

Our lucky neighbors to the north’s congressman pointed out the tremendous success of his efforts to ensure, “More money than the Marianas has ever seen before. Money to help our hospital respond to the coronavirus. Money to rebuild our water systems, our power grid, our schools. Cash in people’s pockets.”

Meanwhile, Guam’s delegate can only ensure voters here one thing: That he will continue to outspend Kilili, to do far less. That’s how he earned the rank of the 2nd most absent person in congress.

Took the long route home for this...

Ahhh...

Discovering The Bountiful Harvest of Sablan

They say the best travel experience are those that go unplanned. It’s been ages since I last traveled outside Baguio City (yes not even La Trinidad) and I have been trying to seize the opportunity to travel and discover outside of Baguio. So one day it was decided that we are going to Sablan. Why Sablan? For me as a kid growing up in Baguio, Sablan is the municipality before you exit the area of…
