LORD Camacho is a CON Artist!!!

CFelix from Guam -

The incumbent governor (soon to be a lame duck come Nov. 10), has advertised a double-spread-full-page solicitation of construction projects for contractors to be bid on. Contractors are required to attach 15% (cashier's check) deposit. The hidden motivation of this strategy from the CC Team is to accumulate much-needed fundings NOT for the local government to use honestly BUT for the Camacho-Cruz Team to use desperately in INDIRECT FORMS OF VOTE BUYING :) Aside from the Section 30 fundings which the incumbent can manipulatively influence in usage, the deposits made by all contactors can be juggled in the COLA and I-T-Refund payments. That is good for the people to receive these long-awaited dues to them BUT with trivial sacrifice in conning these poor contractors with their deposits for suppose~d and questionabel construction projects. Questionable in a way that 2006 fundings for these projects are all but used up--tada, nothing, kapoof ;) Contractors who lost in their bids are in no way be able to get reimburse for the deposits they made (not until 3mos to a year or so.) The point again here is that incumbent could have enticed the contracting public when there are still fundings on such projects; also, the governor could have done this earlier in order for the losing bidders to get their money back in the same year. Camacho himself says that the government is broke :( Do you see the evil motive - I hope so ;)

No trackbacks.

Perhaps it surprises many why this column’s interest has shifted to the politics in Guam. There is reason for this: A gubernatorial candidate has a history of being anti-Filipino. The coming Nov. 7 polls would therefore be crucial to ethnic Filipinos there, since candidate Robert Underwood has at one time, compared Filipinos and other non-Chamorro Guamanians to his dog.

Guam is a trust territory of the US located near the Northern Marianas islands. Of the island’s 168, 564 population, 47 percent are ethnic Guamanians or Chamorros, 25 percent Filipinos, 18 percent Asian, and 10 percent Caucasians.

This racist has, in the past, been spewing nasty remarks against Filipinos. His style of wanting to preserve Guamanian ethnic and cultural heritage is to lash out at Filipinos, blaming them for Guam’s fading heritage. He ignores the fact that Filipinos have long established their cultural, commercial and historical ties with Guam even before the Americans came. For that matter one could hardly distinguish a Filipino from a native Chamorro, except for the occasional signs of indigenous traits. Underwood himself acknowledged there is at least one Filipino progenitor in each and every Chamorro family.

If this backwater nationalist is resentful of what has happened to the island, he should direct his tirades against the state that colonized and continues to occupy Guam without the benefit of allowing it to join the union. It is the US, and not the Filipinos, that holds the future political, economic, social and cultural status of the island.

In contrast to the white mainlanders who came to grab the island and make use of its strategic value, the Filipinos came to permanently settle and do business with the intention of contributing to its prosperity. Underwood fails to see this since he is engrossed in his xenophobic fear that Filipinos and Orientals as not contributing to the formulation of the island’s non-economic institutions, an obvious contradiction to his hackneyed nationalism. If there is one culture that could eradicate the Chamorro culture, it is the culture of its present colonizer. The Filipinos could not stop that trend as they themselves are being influenced by the American culture.

Now that Underwood is running against incumbent Gov. Felix Camacho, he finds it most congenial to suddenly identify himself with the Filipino community. He who claims to be a full-blooded Chamorro but sports a white man’s name managed to get himself a Presidential Merit Award from Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

In his desperation to win, he has also hired Filipino movie stars to endorse his candidacy, but this will fail. He has already united the Filipino community against him by singling the Filipinos out and calling them a menace to the Chamorro heritage. If the Filipinos in Guam long considered themselves Guamanians, it was his rubble-rousing racism that rekindled their spirit of being a Filipino.
