Likewise I want to thank all concerned parties for my life’s enjoyment attributed to the countless blessings of personal struggles, shared challenges, and individual spiritually I am experiencing in the CNMI.
With all of this excitement and other emotions due to the popular immigration federalization on Nov. 27, I remain calm as the morning sun as it rises from the east. I always hope that as soon as the sun sets in the west, every single day that has passed are all considered as God-given gifts for all people in the world to progress and to excel.
At the end of the day, we have all noticed that the CNMI has come to readily accept the steady renewal of nonresident employment contracts.
But we should not indulge in fault-finding which is always destructive. We have all the opportunities in the world to create the best in life and in maintaining and sharing the spirit of forgiveness.
Long live the temporal and divine blessings from heaven for all of the people in the CNMI regardless of the advantages and disadvantages that the federalization will offer after Nov. 28!
We are brothers and sisters regardless of race, income and religion.
Thank you once again my present and future domicile — the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands, especially the great Chamorro and Carolinian people who I have come to love and continue learning to love, as well as all of the U.S. mainlanders serving the government and the private sectors.
I’ve accepted to love every single nonresident and visitor from the Philippines, China, Bangladesh, Nepal, Korea, Japan, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and other countries.
We all need the gifts of repentance and forgiveness from heaven regardless of past misunderstandings.
After all we will all face and present our earthy accountability to our one and the same Divine Creator.
I personally hope and pray that Divine Providence will always be mindful of the spiritual welfare of all of the world’s citizens like you and me forever.
May the mercy and justice for the oppressed and the needy be granted by our Divine Providence in due time.
Long live the spirit of Godliness in the CNMI and the rest of the world!
