This is not a regular scene from the lobby of the Guma Hustisia House of Justice in Susupe. This was the scene today during the Congressional Hearing with Reps. Christian Dior, Bored-hallow, and Fatun-gaga (who could remember the names anyway). Anyway, going back to the Chamber, I guess, the Saipan Chamber of Commerce finally came around to let Alex Sablan to speak on its president's behalf.
Questions:
1. Did they let Alex Sablan speak up because he is more eloquent and articulate?
2. Did they let Alex Sablan speak up because his business would not be directly affected by such boycott threat?
3. Did they let Alex Sablan speak up because he is more telegenic?
You tell me.
Btw, Juanpan (Chamber president) was inside the court room for the hearing. He was present.
When you get stuck along Beach Road, better take the Middle Road. This is a website for those who choose to tread Saipan's off the beaten path. * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * + * +

I would guess all three.
lol. Aint that hillarious clinton at its best!
for certain it's one and three...
…but at least the king of bread made a wise choice by putting the poster boy at the table. that’s more than other organizations can say. for instance, now i can sit back and wonder when:
-you’re going to write about the wonderfully articulate gregorio cruz?
-or when you’ll touch on the testimony of mister "i can't speak in complete sentences unless it's written by my legal counsel," oscar babauta?
-and possibly wait until you talk more about how seƱor dekada just wanted to send money to his family?
all in all it was a good exercise in democracy at the supreme court but truthfully it seemed to be an empty exercise, which mrs. christensen explicitly said it wasn’t at the end of the session.
not trying to sound like a ‘nam vet or anything but if you weren’t there you wouldn’t understand.
it can't be a "good excercise in democracy" and "an empty excercise" at the same time. democracy played absolutely no role in this hearing...more like a monarchy that will force its bureaucracy on us, ensuring we're restyled into a social and political dependency...
is that willy cochran enough for you? ;)
mmmmm...this fiji bitter is delish
lol. Aint that hillarious clinton at its best!
Why wouldn't Alex's businesses be affected by a boycott? All it would take is for people to have strong convictions, instead of simply picking out an easy target. Just don't buy anything that is touched by Saipan Shipping. Oh. Wait. That's everything. Not so easy to put your money where your mouth is, is it?
All three of the above.
I pick #4 Juanpan don't know what hes saying. He babbles. Did you see his comments about the alien workers staying here bringing all their families in, while saying at the same time that all will be leaving?
yup. i was supposed to post something about it. my take on that is that if that happens, bringing the families here in the CNMI would contain the contract workers money being remitted back home to the cnmi, thus more purchasing power will take place. Hence, business will flourish. i believe that everything is interrelated, in the big chain of life.
The dye is cast! There's little or nothing we can do about it.
But it was a beautiful sight to see Greg and Boni sitting side by side. Imagine if these groups would accomodate each other, it would be a potent force for change, self serving politicians will be out of job and oppurtunist businesses will be ban.
Fairness for all will prevail and we will live happily ever after.
True, but:
-neither one of them has a job
-both of them lead sham organizations
