The only public information given was to protect our pristine seas up north, preserving sea life, the flora and fauna on the three islands, no commercial fishing and everyone in the world will know that the Marianas Trench Monument is second next to the State of Hawaii.
Oh, don’t forget to throw in a couple of trinkets to make it appear more convincing.
You know, there was no mention of how much the CNMI government will receive in compensation. Our CNMI government is ready to belly-up as a result of our poor economy so why not ask plenty?
And how may I ask could our people go to see the wonders of the sea up north? Okay?
Now about not being allowed to recuperate there were published in the newspapers, approximately four full pages filled up with names of persons who wanted to see the monument established.
Hey, hey, my name was on the list but I do not remember signing my john doe on their petition they claimed they circulated.
And if there is another Gonzalo Santos then tickle me brown.
And to top this off, ai adai sa si TAN CANDELARIA was also listed!
People, Tan Candelaria is a FICTITOUS NAME I created to cheer you guys when I write to the editor. Canda is not a living person so you have to scratch her name off your list for me please?
Is this the same with what they call stealing identity? Now that I got this off my sunken chest I am crawling back into my hole to rest.
