KSPN reporter now CHC spokeswoman

Font size:

THE cash-strapped Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. has hired former KSPN reporter Jeannette Rocher to be its public relations officer.

Jeannette Rocher
Anthony Aguon, CHC board member, said CHC chief executive officer Juan N. Babauta announced the hiring during the board meeting last week.

CHC, Aguon said, needs to “relay our message most efficiently to the public.”

Rocher used to cover government agencies and community events for KSPN.

Now that they have a spokeswoman, Aguon said he hopes they can be more transparent to the people.

Aguon said the CEO had been bringing up with the board the need for someone who could help CHC reestablish better relationships with the public.

Then-CHC chief financial officer Esther Muna also believed that the hospital needed a public relations officer.

Before it became a public corporation, the Department of Public Health’s public information officer was Roxanne Diaz, now the corporation’s public health division director.

In a telephone interview last night, Rocher said there has been a lot of misinformation about issues facing the hospital.

She said hospital staffers themselves do not know what is  going on and this is why CHC needs somebody to take care of its internal communications as well.

Rocher did not disclose her salary but said her position is funded by a federal grant.

She said she will also help in the public awareness campaigns of  CHC’s Division of Public Health.

Ah, Juan Babauta. I see that you are trying to get a new band to play on deck while your ship sinks beneath the surface. Better PR is not what CHC needs. Decent leadership and a CEO who actually knows how to run a business are what is needed by CHC. You, sir, are neither.

Jeannette, those of us who know and care about you all encourage you to always insist that another female is in the room when you are asked into JNB's inner sanctum with him and his minions. And whatever you do, don't reply to his weekend phone calls to come into the office to "work". Recognize him for what he is. If you're smart, you'll simply walk away now before the damage is done.

JNB is continually embroiled in court/legal issues with his former wife whom he never divorced and his current wife, and now he has his eye on a new girl. Those who know Jeannette know her as a nice, decent person who has a sympathetic nature and gives people the benefit of the doubt. JNB is a master at exploiting those qualities. Many have witnessed recently in social and professional settings in which women were present and JNB simply can’t help himself. He has a similar and well-deserved reputation from his catting days in the alleys of Washington, DC (many of us witnessed that too!!). So go peddle your tripe about JNB being a devoted husband and Christian to the coconutheads who will buy it. It won't float here.

#30 FitialForever: Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahah a!!!! Want to see how badly he ruined Sonya's reputation? Do a Google search and look at the coverage she was giving him back in the day. He made her a laughing stock on Saipan, ruined her name and reputation, and she eventually had to leave the island just to begin to reclaim some of her basic dignity. Don’t think she ever got her journalistic integrity back.

Quoting mehearemsay:
Run........... Jeannette run as fast as you can.

FLEE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!Quoting Island Patriot:
Juan N. Babauta has a thing for news reporters. Wonder what happened with the last news reporter he worked with.

Nekai is at it again. It will not be the first nor last.
Why did Tina not advise her about his known accomplishments??
