A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR 

Hafa Adai! I am pleased to present to you the “2008 Guam Statistical Yearbook.” This yearbook 

presents current and historical trends statistics on the social, economic and the environmental 

structure of Guam’s economy. 

Sound information forecasting and understanding the strength and direction of Guam’s economy 

depend heavily on economic and demographic statistics. As Guam’s economy continues to grow, 

coupled with the anticipated military buildup and the influx of citizens from the Freely 

Associated States, it is evident construction and infrastructure development will escalate. 

Additionally, demands for health care, education, and social services will increase. The Guam 

Statistical Yearbook serves as a very important instrument in providing useful information needed 

to support economic diversification and prosperity for our people. This report prepares our 

government, business and civic leaders with the components needed to efficiently develop direct 

and long term goals to deal with our island’s needs and boost investment opportunities to local 

and potential businesses. 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the many Government of Guam agencies, 

businesses, and countless others for their contribution in making available critical information for 

public use. I would also like to express my gratitude to the staff and management of the Bureau 

of Statistics and Plans for their dedication and hard work in making this publication possible. 

Dangkulo Na Si Yu’os Ma’ase’,

GUAM ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 

Summary 

The outlook for Fiscal Year 2009 is a continuation of the growth path established over the last 

five consecutive years as measured by gross sales receipts. The expansion in FY 2003 through 

FY 2005 was largely due to the recovery of tourism from the depressed levels following the 

events of September 11, 2001 and SARS which severely impacted tourist arrivals as well as 

reconstruction efforts following the 2002 Typhoon Pongsona. The impetus for the growth in 

Fiscal Years 2006 – 2009 is being driven primarily by increasing construction activity levels and 

steady visitor arrivals with increasing hotel expenditures. 

The total dollar amount of the combined construction permitted by the Department of Public 

Works and contracted by the federal government has risen from $159 million in FY 2004 to $428 

million in FY 2007. The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act passed by the House of 

Representatives and the Senate is expected to be signed into law by the President. It authorizes a 

total of $290.7 million in construction expenditures for military installations on Guam --- an 

increase of nearly $100 million from last year. Total construction projects scheduled for 

commencement in 2008 exceed $500 million. Construction industry employment growth has not 

kept pace with the increase in contracts in the last two years, perhaps indicating a growing 

backlog of projects. Continued increases in construction and possible acceleration in the growth 

of construction related employment and revenues are likely. The September 2007 Current 

Employment Report shows a 35 percent increase in construction employment in the latest one 

year period. This indicates increased construction activities underway. 

19

Construction activities are primarily driven by a number of Department of Defense projects 

designed to strengthen Guam’s defense infrastructure, as well as Government of Guam capital 

improvements in infrastructure and private housing projects. Limited construction in hotels, 

apartments, and commercial buildings is occurring due to substantial existing vacant capacity. 

Hotel construction is characterized by major renovation and modest expansion to upgrade 

facilities, some under new ownership or management, to cater to current trends and demands in 

the visitor industry, such as enhanced wedding and spa facilities. 

While the percentage increase in construction 

has been dramatic, the percentage change in 

the total employment is less dramatic as 

construction represents less than 10 percent of 

total employment on Guam. Total 

employment on Guam increased a more 

restrained 2.7 percent over the latest one year 

period and average hourly earnings of private 

sector non-supervisory workers increased 3 

percent. 

The visitor sector has remained essentially 

static for the last several years in terms of 

arrivals, and no dramatic change in the trend 

has been forecast. The revenue picture in this 

sector is better, however. Hotel occupancy tax collections have risen 5.6 percent in the latest 

year and 32.6 percent over the latest five year period. The rise in occupancy taxes represents 

higher expenditures in hotels due to a combination of factors including inflation and rising prices 

passed on in higher room rates, stronger demand and upgraded facilities. The higher average 

room rates are explained, in part, by better accommodations rather than just rate increases for 

existing services. 

The pace of economic growth is expected to remain fairly steady in FY 2009 and will to some 

extent be affected by the scheduling and timing of the completion of various construction 

projects. 

In making year-to-year economic and revenue comparisons, it is important to consider 

extraordinary items which occurred in FY 2007 and FY 2008 which can be considered one-time 

events. These include: 

» FY 2007 closed with extraordinary receipt of $21 million in additional Section 30 

reimbursement 

» Tax Amnesty Program realized an additional $9 million in FY 2007 

» FY 2008 is being buoyed with the disbursement of $18 million in bond-funded 

tax refunds and $14 million in bond funded Cost of Living Allowance (COLA) 

payments --- neither of these expansionary stimuli are anticipated for FY 2009 

20

» Increases in fees, etc. boosted FY 2007 revenues and increased percentage yearto-year 

change --- continuation of the fees would not result in future year-to-year 

percentage increases 

» FY 2008 kicked off with a boost to employment with two sizeable employers, 

Home Depot and Ruby Tuesday opening their doors in the first quarter 

The construction growth trend of the 1990’s is 

different from the current ones in one key 

aspect. The development of the 1990’s created 

construction jobs and following construction, 

substantial resident job creation occurred with 

the opening of each hotel, golf course, 

restaurant and the related services 

establishments associated with tourism. The 

construction projects of the 1990’s were 

primarily the creation of business 

establishments and the resultant creation of 

permanent jobs for resident. The construction 

of today is primarily but not exclusively 

associated with improvement in capital assets, 

housing and upgrading of existing infrastructure and business facilities. Completion of these 

projects will generate a more limited number of jobs to operate the improved facilities and 

infrastructure. 

Improved infrastructure, both defense and civilian infrastructure, are important in the long-term 

to support economic expansion but does not generate substantial number of jobs immediately as 

do new major business openings such as hotels and retail stores. Additionally, a substantial 

component of the increased employment in the construction labor force is comprised of foreign 

workers reducing the positive impact on local employment and expenditure of income from the 

expansion in this industry. Therefore, large construction projects occurring in the near future 

will not generate the large and permanent employment and associated payroll revenue growth as 

in the 1990’s. 

Moderate economic expansion is expected to continue, but not a boom, prior to the anticipated 

construction in 2010 to accommodate relocation of the Marines from Okinawa. As always, there 

are risks associated with a sometimes volatile tourist industry and the economy in general, 

including fuel price escalation, health issues, typhoons and unanticipated international political, 

economic and security issues, which could impact the positive outlook for the years ahead. 

Some of the uncertainties in the Economic Outlook for FY 2008 include court decisions on the 

Cost of Living, Earned Income Tax Credit and bond litigation in the U.S. Supreme Court have 

been resolved; other remain unresolved, including closure of the Ordot dump and opening a new 

sanitary landfill as well as addressing the growing Government of Guam deficits and 

21

expectations for improved services and employee compensation adjustments. How and when 

these issues are addressed may have additional economic impacts as well.

school, each member of the ninth grade cohort is identified as either a) a graduate; b) still in school; c) a transfer; d) a dropout; or e) a withdrawal due to 

to illness or death. A four year cohort graduation rate may then be calculated by dividing the number of cohort graduates after four years of high school by 

the total 9th grade cohort less the number of transfers and the number of students that withdrew during the four years due to illness or death.

The Uniform Crime Report Program counts one offense for each female victim of a forcible rape, attempted 

forcible rape, or assault with intent to rape, regardless of age. 

Forible Rape: The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Assaults and attempts to 

commit rape by force or threat of force are also included. However statutory rape (without force) are excluded. 

Program classifies as Part II offenses all other crimes of sexual nature and, as such, collects only arrest statistics 

concerning them.

1/ Estimates for detailed occupations do not sum to the totals because the totals include occupations not shown separately. 

Estimates do not include self-employed workers. 

2/ Annual wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; 

for those occupations where there is not an hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported 

survey data 

3/ The relative standard error (RSE) is a measure of the reliability of a survey statistic. The smaller the relative standard error, 

the more precise the estimate. 

4/ Wages for some occupations that do not generally work year-round, full time, are reported either as hourly wages or annual salaries depending on how they are typically paid. 

8/ Estimates not released.

_A _ 

Age_Sex Structure 

Average 

The age-sex structure is the composition of a population as determined 

by the number or proportion of males and females in each age category. 

The age_sex structure of a population is the cumulative result of past 

trends in fertility, mortality, and migration. Information on age_sex 

composition is essential for the description and analysis of many other 

types of demographic data. See also Population Pyramid. 

The average is the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate or total of 

a particular variable in the statistical universe by the number of units in 

that universe. 

_ B _ 

Bankruptcy 

Birth 

Birth Rate 

A legal procedure for dealing with debt problems of individuals and 

businesses. These procedures are covered under Title 11 of the United 

States Code (Bankruptcy Code). Bankruptcy laws help people who can 

no longer pay their creditors get a fresh start by liquidating their assets to 

pay their debts, or be creating a repayment plan. Bankruptcy laws also 

protect troubled businesses and provide for orderly distributions to 

business creditors through reorganization or liquidation. 

A birth (live birth) is the complete expulsion or extraction from is mother 

of a product of human conception, irrespective of the duration of the 

pregnancy, which, after such expulsion or extraction, breathes or shows 

any other evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the 

umbilical cord or definite movement of the voluntary muscles, whether 

or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached. 

The birth rate is the number of live births per 1,000 population in a given 

year. It should not be confused with the growth rate. See also Growth 

Rate. 

_ C _ 

Census 

Census Designated Place 

A census is the canvassing of a given area, resulting in an enumeration of 

the entire population and often the compilation of other demographic, 

social, and economic information pertaining to that population at a 

specific time. See also Survey. 

Census designated places (CDP) are delineated for each decennial census 

to provide census data for concentrations of population, housing, and 

commercial structures that are identifiable by name but are not within an 

incorporated place. CDP boundaries usually are defined in cooperation 

with state, local, and tribal officials. CDP boundaries may change from 

one decennial census to the next with changes in the settlement pattern; a 

CDP with the same name as in an earlier census does not necessarily 

have the same boundary. All places in Guam are CDPs.

Childbearing Years 

Civilian 


Cohort 

Consumer Price Index 

Crude Birth Rate 

Crude Death Rate 

Crude Divorce Rate 

Childbearing years is the reproductive age span of women, assumed for 

statistical purposes to be 15_44 or 15_49 years of age. 

A civilian is a person who is not in the armed forces, including 

dependent members of the armed forces. 

The civilian labor force is all persons 16 years and older employed for 

pay or profit plus those who are unemployed but seeking work. See also 

Employed, Unemployed, and Not in Labor Force. 

A group of people sharing a common temporal demographic experience 

who are observed through time. For example, the birth cohort of 1900 is 

the people born in that year. 

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the rate at which the prices of 

consumer goods and services are changing over time. In practice, most 

CPIs are calculated as weighted averages of the percentage price changes 

for a specified set, or ‘‘basket’’, of consumer products, the weights 

reflecting their relative importance in household consumption in some 

period. A monthly or quarterly price index compiled and published by an 

official statistical agency that measures changes in the prices of 

consumption goods and services acquired or used by households.

See Divorce Rate. 

_ D _ 

Death 

Death Rate 

Defined Benefit Plan 

Defined Contribution Plan 

Death is the permanent loss of all evidence of life after a live birth has 

occurred. 

The death rate is the number of deaths per 1,000 population in a given 

year. 

The Defined Benefit Plan provides for retirement, disability, and 

survivor benefits to members of the plan prior to October 1,1995 (all 

government employees are required to participate in the Defined 

Contribution Plan after October 1, 1995). Under the Defined Benefit 

Plan, retirement benefits are based on age and/or years of credited 

service and an average of the three (3) highest annual salaries received 

by a member during the years of credited service, or six thousand 

($6,000), whichever is greater. 

Created by Public Law 23-42:3, this plan provides an individual account 

retirement system for any person who is employed by the Government of 

Guam. This plan is a single-employer pension and is the only plan for all 

new employees whose employment commences on or after October 1, 

1995. 

372

Density 

Dependency Ratio 

Disability Status 

Population density and housing unit density are computed by dividing 

the total population or number of housing units within a geographic 

entity by the land area of that entity measured in square kilometers or 

square miles. Density is expressed as both ‘‘people (or housing units) per 

square kilometer’’ and ‘‘people (or housing units) per square mile’’ of 

land area. 

The ratio of the economically dependent part of the population to the 

productive part; arbitrarily defined as the ratio of the elderly (ages 65 and 

older) plus the young (under age 15) to the population in the working 

ages (ages 15_64). 

Disability status was derived from answers to two Census questionnaire 

items. The first asked about the existence of the following long_lasting 

conditions: (a) blindness, deafness, or a severe vision or hearing 

impairment (sensory disability) and (b) a condition that substantially 

limits one or more basic physical activities, such as walking, climbing 

stairs, reaching, lifting, or carrying (physical disability) for the 

population 5 years old and over. 

Disability status was also determined by asking if the individual had a 

physical, mental, or emotional condition lasting 6 months or more that 

made it difficult to perform activities in four categories: (a) learning, 

remembering, or concentrating (mental disability); (b) dressing, bathing, 

or getting around inside the home (self_care disability); (c) going outside 

the home alone to shop or visit a doctor’s office (going outside the home 

disability); and (d) working at a job or business (employment disability). 

Individuals were classified as having a disability if any of the following 

three conditions were true: (1) they were 5 years old and over and had a 

response of ‘‘yes’’ to a sensory, physical, mental or self_care disability; 

(2) they were 16 years old and over and had a response of ‘‘yes’’ to 

going outside the home disability; or (3) they were 16 to 64 years old and 

had a response of ‘‘yes’’ to employment disability. 

Divorce 

Divorce Rate 

A divorce is the legal termination of a marriage. 

The divorce rate is the number of divorces per 1,000 population in a 

given year. 

_ E _ 

Educational Attainment 

Election District 

The classification of people according to the level of education attained 

(the highest level of school completed or the highest degree received). 

An election district is the official term for what is commonly called a 

“village”; there are the nineteen (19) election districts or villages on 


373

Employed 

Ethnic Origin 

Ethnicity 

All civilians 16 years old and over were classified as employed if they 

were ‘‘at work’’ or ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ during the reference 

week, including temporarily absent. See also Unemployed and Not in 

Labor Force. 

Ethnic origin refers to an individual’s origin or descent, ‘‘roots,’’ 

heritage, or place where the individual or his/her parents or ancestors 

were born. Respondents reported their ethnic group regardless of the 

number of generations removed from their place or origin. Responses to 

the ethnic origin or race question reflected the groups with which 

respondents identified and not necessarily the degree of attachment or 

association the individual had with the particular group(s). See also Race. 

The cultural practices, language, cuisine, and traditions — not biological 

or physical differences — used to distinguish groups of people. 

_ F _ 

Family 

A family includes a householder and one or more other people living in 

the same household who are related to the householder by birth, 

marriage, or adoption. All people in a household who are related to the 

householder are regarded as members of his or her family. A family 

household may contain people not related to the householder, but those 

people are not included as part of the householder’s family in census 

tabulations. Thus, the number of family households is equal to the 

number of families, but family households may include more members 

than do families. A household can contain only one family for purposes 

of census tabulations. Not all households contain families since a 

household may be comprised of a group of unrelated people or of one 

person living alone. 

Family Income In compiling statistics on family income, the incomes of all members 15 

years old and over related to the householder are summed and treated as 

a single amount. 

Fertility 

Fetal Death 

The data on fertility (also referred to as ‘‘children ever born’’) were 

derived from the answers to the Census question which asked women 15 

years old and over—regardless of their marital status—how many babies 

they have ever had. Stillbirths, stepchildren, and adopted children were 

excluded from the number of children ever born. Data are most 

frequently presented in terms of the aggregate number of children ever 

born to women in specified population groups and in terms of the rate 

per 1,000 women. 

A fetal death is a death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction 

from its mother of a product of human conception, irrespective of the 

duration of the pregnancy; the death is indicated the fact that after such 

expulsion or extraction the fetus does not breathe or show any other 

evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical 

cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles.

Freely Associated States 

The Freely Associated States (FAS) consists of the Federated States of 

Micronesia (FSM), Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and the 

Republic of Palau. Formerly a part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific 

Islands (TTPI), they became independent nations in free association with 

the United States. 

_ G _ 

General Fertility Rate The general fertility rate (GFR) is the number of live births per 1,000 

women ages 15_44 or 15_49 years in a given year. 

Gross Domestic Product 

Gross Reproduction Rate 

Group Quarters 

The gross domestic product (GDP) is the total market value of all the 

goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. 

The gross reproductive rate (GRR) is the average number of daughters 

that would be born alive to a woman (or group of women) during her 

lifetime if she passed through her childbearing years conforming to the 

age_specific fertility rates of a given year. See also Net Reproduction 

Rate and Total Fertility Rate. 

Group quarters is used to describe places in which people reside that are 

not considered “housing units,” such as prisons, long-term care hospitals, 

military barracks, and dormitories. The group quarters population 

includes all people not living in households. Two general categories of 

people in group quarters are recognized: 

(1) the institutionalized population which includes people under 

formally authorized, supervised care or custody in institutions at 

the time of enumeration. Such people are classified as ‘‘patients 

or inmates’’ of an institution regardless of the availability of 

nursing or medical care, the length of stay, or the number of 

people in the institution. Generally, the institutionalized 

population is restricted to the institutional buildings and grounds 

(or must have passes or escorts to leave) and thus have limited 

interaction with the surrounding community. Also, they are 

generally under the care of trained staff who have responsibility 

for their safekeeping and supervision, and 

(2) the noninstitutionalized population which includes people who 

live in group quarters other than institutions. It also includes staff 

residing in military and nonmilitary group quarters on 

institutional grounds who provide formally authorized, 

supervised care or custody for the institutionalized population. 

Growth Rate 

The growth rate is a general expression of the number of people added to 

(or subtracted from) a population in a year due to natural increase and net 

migration expressed as a percentage of the population at the beginning of 

the time period.

HTSUSA 

According to the Stewart B. McKinney Act, 42 U.S.C. § 11301, et seq. 

(1994), a person is considered homeless who "lacks a fixed, regular, and 

adequate night_time residence and; and... has a primary night time 

residency that is: (A) a supervised publicly or privately operated shelter 

designed to provide temporary living accommodations... (B) an 

institution that provides a temporary residence for individuals intended to 

be institutionalized, or (C) a public or private place not designed for, or 

ordinarily used as, a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings." 

42 U.S.C. § 11302(a) The term "'homeless individual' does not include 

any individual imprisoned or otherwise detained pursuant to an Act of 

Congress or a state law." 42 U.S.C. § 11302(c). 

A household includes all of the people who occupy a housing unit. 

(People not living in households are classified as living in group 

quarters.) Separate living quarters are those in which the occupants live 

separately from any other people in the building and that have direct 

access from the outside of the building or through a common hall. The 

occupants may be a single family, one person living alone, two or more 

families living together, or any other group of related or unrelated people 

who share living quarters. 

Household income is the sum of all incomes of all members 15 years old 

and over of a household which are treated as a single amount. 

A housing unit is a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a group of 

rooms, or a single room occupied (or if vacant, intended for occupancy) 

as separate living quarters. See also Tenure. 

Acronym for Harmonized Tariff Schedule for the United States 

Annotated. The HTSUSA provides the applicable tariff rates and 

statistical categories for all merchandise imported into the United States. 

It is based on the international Harmonized System, the global system of 

nomenclature that is used to describe most world trade in goods.

Industry 

Income is the wages or revenue accruing from labor, business enterprise, 

or investments. See also Household Income, Family Income, Individual 

Income, Mean Income, Median Income, and Per Capital Income. 

Income for individuals is obtained by summing the total income for each 

person. 

Immigration is the process of entering one country from another to take 

up permanent or semi-permanent residence. 

Industry relates to the kind of business conducted by a person’s 

employing organization described by its economic product or activity.

Infant Death 

Infant Mortality Rate 

An infant death is a death occurring to an individual of less than one year 

of age 

The infant mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants under one 

year of age per 1,000 live births in a given year. 

_ L _ 

Labor Force 

Life Expectancy 

The labor force is all persons employed for pay or profit plus those who 

are unemployed but seeking work. See also Employed, Unemployed, and 

Not in Labor Force. 

Life expectancy is the average number of additional years a person could 

expect to live if current mortality trends were to continue for the rest of 

that person's life. It is most commonly cited as life expectancy at birth.

Median 

Median Age 

A marriage is a social institution involving legal or religious sanction 

whereby a man and a woman are joined together for the purpose of 

founding a family unit (traditional). 

A maternal death is a death wherein the physician has designated a 

maternal condition as the underlying cause of death. 

This measure represents an arithmetic average of a set of values. It is 

derived by dividing the sum (or aggregate) of a group of numerical items 

by the total number of items in that group. 

The mathematical average age of all the members of a population. 

Mean income is the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate income 

of a particular statistical universe by the number of units in that universe. 

Thus, mean household income is obtained by dividing total household 

income by the total number of households. 

The median divides a distribution into two equal parts: one_half of the 

cases falling below the median income and one_half above the median. 

This measure represents the middle value (if n is odd) or the average of 

the two middle values (if n is even) in an ordered list of n data values. 

The median divides the total frequency distribution into two equal parts: 

one_half of the cases falling below the median and one_half above the 

median. 

The age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups; that 

is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older.

Median Income 

Migration 

Minor Civil Division 

Mortality 

The median divides the income distribution into two equal parts: 

one_half of the cases falling below the median income and one_half 

above the median. For households and families, the median income is 

based on the distribution of the total number of households and families 

including those with no income. 

The movement of people across a specified boundary for the purpose of 

establishing a new or semi-permanent residence. Divided into 

international migration (migration between countries) and internal 

migration (migration within a country). 

Minor Civil Divisions (MCD) are the primary governmental or 

administrative divisions of a first_order subdivision. On Guam, they are 

Guam’s election districts (villages). The MCDs in Guam are geographic 

subdivisions of the first_order subdivision(s) and are not governmental 

units. 

Mortality is a general term for deaths as a component of population 

change. 

_ N _ 

Natality 

Natural Increase (Decrease) 

Neonatal Death 

Natality is a general term for births as a component of population 

change. 

The surplus (or deficit) of births over deaths in a population in a given 

time period. 

A neonatal death is death occurring to an individual of less than 28 days 

of age. 

Neonatal Mortality Rate The neonatal mortality rate is the number of deaths of infants under 28 

days of age in a given year per 1,000 live births in that year. 

Net Migration 

Net Migration Rate 

Net Reproduction Rate 

The net effect of immigration and emigration on an area's population in a 

given time period, expressed as an increase or decrease. 

The net effect of immigration and emigration on an area's population, 

expressed as an increase or decrease per 1,000 population of the area in a 

given year. 

The net reproduction rate (NRR) is the average number of daughters that 

would be born to a woman (or a group of women) if she passed through 

her lifetime conforming to the age_specific fertility and mortality rates of 

a given year. This rate is similar to the gross reproduction rate but takes 

into account that some women will die before completing their 

childbearing years. An NRR of one means that each generation of 

mothers is having exactly enough daughters to replace itself in the 

population. See also Total Fertility Rate. 

378

Not in Labor Force 

Nuptiality 

All people 16 years old and over who are not classified as members of 

the labor force. This category consists mainly of students, individuals 

taking care of home or family, retired workers, seasonal workers 

enumerated in an off_season who were not looking for work, 

institutionalized people (all institutionalized people are placed in this 

category regardless of any work activities they may have done in the 

reference week), and people doing only incidental unpaid family work 

(fewer than 15 hours during the reference week). See also Employed and 

Unemployed. 

Nuptiality is the general term for the frequency, characteristics, and 

dissolution of marriages in a population.

Place 

Population 

Population Estimate 

Population Density 

Population Projection 

The per capita income is the amount obtained by dividing the aggregate 

income of all individuals, including those without incomes, by the total 

number of individuals. 

This measure is calculated by taking the number of items in a group 

possessing a characteristic of interest and dividing by the total number of 

items in that group, and then multiplying by 100. 

A permanent resident is any person not a citizen of the United States who 

is residing in the U.S. under legally recognized and lawfully recorded 

permanent residence as an immigrant (also known as "Permanent 

Resident Alien", "Lawful Permanent Resident," "Resident Alien Permit 

Holder," and "Green Card Holder"). See also Temporary Resident. 

Places, for the reporting of decennial census data for the Pacific Island 

Areas, include census designated places (CDP) and incorporated places. 

The total population of a country may comprise either all usual residents 

of the country (de jure population) or all persons present in the country 

(de facto population) at the time of the census. For purposes of 

international comparisons, the de facto definition is recommended. 

Population estimates are approximations of current or past population of 

an area at a given time, or its distribution or composition in absence of 

complete enumeration. 

The population density is the population per unit of land area; for 

example, people per square mile or people per square kilometer of arable 

land. 

Population projections are the computations of future changes in 

population numbers, given certain assumptions about future trends in the 

rates of fertility, mortality, and migration. Demographers often issue low, 

medium, and high projections of the same population, based on different 

assumptions of how these rates will change in the future. 

380

Population Pyramid 

Poverty 

A bar chart, arranged vertically, that shows the distribution of a 

population by age and sex. By convention, the younger ages are at the 

bottom, with males on the left and females on the right. 

Poverty is an economic and social condition for an individual, family, or 

household whose level of living in terms of food, housing, clothing, 

medical needs, and so on are determined to be below the community 

standard. 

Following the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) Statistical 

Policy Directive 14 (1978), the Census Bureau uses a set of money 

income thresholds designed in the 1960s that vary by family size and 

composition to determine who is poor. If a family's total income is less 

than that family's threshold, then that family, and every individual in it, is 

considered poor. The poverty thresholds do not vary geographically, but 

they are updated annually for inflation using the Consumer Price Index 

(CPI_U). The official poverty definition counts money income before 

taxes and does not include capital gains and noncash benefits (such as 

public housing, medicaid, and food stamps). Poverty is not defined for 

people in military barracks or institutional group quarters or for unrelated 

individuals under age 15 (such as foster children). They are excluded 

from the poverty universe — that is, they are considered neither as 

“poor” nor as “nonpoor.” 

Poverty Status 

For the 2000 Census, the poverty status of families and unrelated 

individuals in 1999 was determined using 48 thresholds (income cutoffs) 

arranged in a two dimensional matrix. The matrix consists of family size 

(from 1 person to 9 or more people) cross_classified by presence and 

number of family members under 18 years old (from no children present 

to 8 or more children present). Unrelated individuals and 2_person 

families were further differentiated by the age of the reference person 

(RP) (under 65 years old and 65 years old and over). 

To determine a person’s poverty status, one compares the person’s total 

family income with the poverty threshold appropriate for that person’s 

family size and composition. If the total income of that person’s family is 

less than the threshold appropriate for that family, then the person is 

considered poor, together with every member of his or her family. If a 

person is not living with anyone related by birth, marriage, or adoption, 

then the person’s own income is compared with his or her poverty 

threshold. 

381

_ Q _ 

Quartile 

Quintile 

Quartile is a measure that divides a distribution into four equal parts. The 

first quartile (or lower quartile) is the value that defines the upper limit of 

the lowest one_quarter of the cases. The second quartile is the median. 

The third quartile (or upper quartile) is defined as the upper limit of the 

lowest three quarters of cases in the distribution. Quartiles are presented 

for certain financial characteristics, such as housing value and contract 

rent. The distribution used to compute quartiles is the same as that used 

to compute medians for that variable. 

Quintile is a measure that divides a distribution into five equal parts on 

the basis of the ranked total incomes. Hence, the lowest quintile is the 

bottom 20 percent of the population or households; the highest quintile is 

the highest 20 percent on the same basis. 

_ R _ 

Race 

Rate 

Rate of Natural Increase 

(or Decrease) 

Ratio 

Rural 

The racial classification used by the Census Bureau adheres to the 

October 30, 1997, Federal Register Notice entitled ‘‘Revisions to the 

Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity’’ 

issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). These 

standards govern the categorization of race in census data products. The 

OMB identified five minimum race categories (White, Black or African 

American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native 

Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander). In addition to the five race groups, 

the OMB also states that respondents should be offered the option of 

selecting one or more races. See also Ethnic Origin. 

A rate is a measure of occurrences in a given period of time divided by 

the possible number of occurrences during that period. Rates are 

sometimes presented as percentages. 

The rate of natural increase (or decrease) measures the population 

increase (or decrease) in a given year due to a surplus (or deficit) of 

births over deaths, expressed as a percentage of the base population. 

A ratio is a measure of the relative size of one number to a second 

number expressed as the quotient of the first number divided by the 

second. For example, the sex ratio is calculated by dividing the total 

number of males by the total number of females, and then multiplying by 

100. 

See Urban and Rural. 

_ S _ 

Sex Ratio 

The sex ratio is a measure derived by dividing the total number of males 

by the total number of females, and then multiplying by 100. 

382

Survey 

A survey is a canvass of selected persons or households in a population 

usually used to infer demographic characteristics or trends for a larger 

segment or all of the population. See also Census. 

_ T _ 

Temporary Resident 

Tenure 

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) 

A temporary resident is a nonimmigrant alien who seeks temporary entry 

to the United States for a specific purpose. The alien must have a 

permanent residence abroad (for most classes of admission) and qualify 

for the nonimmigrant classification sought. The nonimmigrant 

classifications include: foreign government officials, visitors for business 

and for pleasure, aliens in transit through the United States, treaty traders 

and investors, students, international representatives, temporary workers 

and trainees, representatives of foreign information media, exchange 

visitors, fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens, intracompany transferees, NATO 

officials, religious workers, and some others. Most nonimmigrants can be 

accompanied or joined by spouses and unmarried minor (or dependent) 

children. See also Permanent Resident. 

Tenure represents the condition or nature by which occupancy of a 

housing unit is held. All occupied housing units are classified as either 

owner occupied or renter occupied. A housing unit is owner occupied if 

the owner or co_owner lives in the unit even if it is mortgaged or not 

fully paid for. All occupied housing units that are not owner occupied, 

whether they are rented for cash rent or occupied without payment of 

cash rent, are classified as renter occupied. 

The total fertility rate is the average number of children that would be 

born alive to a woman (or group of women) during her lifetime if she 

were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the 

age_specific fertility rates of a given year. This rate is sometimes stated 

as the number of children women are having today. See also Gross 

Reproduction Rate and Net Reproduction Rate. 

_ U _ 

Unemployed 

All civilians 16 years old and over were classified as unemployed if they 

were neither ‘‘at work’’ nor ‘‘with a job but not at work’’ during the 

reference week, were looking for work during the last 4 weeks, and were 

available to start a job. Also included as unemployed were civilians 16 

years old and over who: did not work at all during the reference week, 

were on temporary layoff from a job, had been informed that they would 

be recalled to work within the next 6 months or had been given a date to 

return to work, and were available to return to work during the reference 

week, except for temporary illness. See also Employed and Not in Labor 

Force. 

Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Uniform crime reporting is a collective effort on the part of city, county, 

state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies to present a 

nationwide view of crime. Agencies throughout the country participating 

in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program provide summarized 

383

eports on eight Part I offenses known to law enforcement and reports on 

persons arrested. They also provide information about law enforcement 

officers killed and assaulted and on hate crime. 

The UCR Program divides offenses into two groups—Part I and Part II. 

The Program collects data on all Part I offenses that become known to 

law enforcement whether or not they involve arrests. These crime totals 

are essential to measuring the level and scope of crimes occurring across 

the country. Part II offenses are all crime classifications other than those 

defined as Part I. The UCR Program collects arrest data for both Part I 

and Part II offenses. See also Part I Offenses and Part II Offenses. 

Urban and Rural 

The U.S. Census Bureau classifies as urban all territory, population, and 

housing units located within urbanized areas (UAs) and urban clusters 

(UCs). It delineates UA and UC boundaries to encompass densely settled 

territory, which generally consists of: 

• A cluster of one or more block groups or census blocks each of 

which has a population density of at least 1,000 people per 

square mile at the time, and 

• Surrounding block groups and census blocks each of which has a 

population density of at least 500 people per square mile at the 

time, and 

• Less densely settled blocks that form enclaves or indentations, or 

are used to connect discontiguous areas with qualifying 

densities. 

Rural consists of all territory, population, and housing units located 

outside of UAs and UCs. Geographic entities such as first_order 

subdivisions, minor civil divisions, and places often contain both urban 

and rural territory, population, and housing units. 

The urban and rural classification applies to the 50 states, the District of 

Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana 

Islands, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. 

There are UCs in all the Pacific Island Areas, but only the Northern 

Mariana Islands has a UA (Saipan). 

Urban Cluster (UC) 

Urbanized Area (UA) 

An urban cluster (UC) consists of densely settled territory that has at 

least 2,500 people but fewer than 50,000 people, except in Guam. By 

agreement with the Government of Guam, the U.S. Census Bureau 

recognizes Hagåtña as a UC rather than an urbanized area. 

An urbanized area (UA) consists of densely settled territory that contains 

50,000 or more people, except in Guam (see below). The U.S. Census 

Bureau delineates UAs to provide a better separation of urban and rural 

territory, population, and housing in the vicinity of large places. 

384

_ V _ 

Veterans Status 

Vital Statistics 

For Census data products, a civilian veteran is a person 18 years old and 

over who, at the time of the enumeration, had served on active duty in 

the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard in the 

past (even for a short time), but was not then on active duty, or who had 

served in the Merchant Marine during World War II. People who had 

served in the National Guard or Military Reserves were classified as 

veterans only if they had ever been called or ordered to active duty, not 

counting the 4 to 6 months for initial training or yearly summer camps. 

All other civilians 18 years old and over were classified as nonveterans. 

Vital statistics is the collection of Demographic data on births, deaths, 

fetal deaths, marriages, divorces, and related events usually compiled 

through a registration system or other administrative record system.

STATE OF THE ISLAND ADDRESS 

By The Honorable Felix P. Camacho 

Governor of Guam 

February 16, 2009 

Before I begin, I wish to share with you a story that illustrates the power of perspective. 

Nearly 39 years ago, our country faced a choice: return to the moon proving that democracy 

could lead in every facet of innovation, or stay bound to earth and demonstrate that we could not. 

Failure to go to the moon back then meant the possibility of death, the loss of billions of dollars 

to a dream, and a crisis in American confidence. It would mean that although we planned for 

every eventuality, some circumstances would always be beyond our control. 

As Apollo 13 slipped beyond the bounds of earth, the world watched in anxiety as one problem 

led to another. NASA’s director stated, “This could be the worst disaster NASA has ever faced.” 

Then, a tested voice belonging to a flight director Gene Kranz responded, “With all due respect, 

sir, I believe this is going to be our finest hour.” 

We, too, have numerous challenges to overcome. Yet, despite the heavy burden we bear, I 

believe Guam’s finest hour lies ahead. 

Speaker Won Pat; Justice Carbullido; Lieutenant Governor Cruz; former governors; members of 

the Consular Corps; Senators; Attorney General Limtiaco; Public Auditor Brooks; Chief Justice 

Torres; Archbishop Apuron and members of the clergy; Pastor Roy Burke; Justices and Judges; 

Mayors and Vice-Mayors; members of the elected boards and commissions; members of the 

military; Major General; Good Admiral French; General for AAFB; my wife, First Lady Joann 

Camacho; and my mother, former First Lady Lourdes Camacho. 

Honored guests and my fellow Guamanians. 

Before we ass the state of our island, I want to thank our men and women in the armed forces 

who continue to courageously defend our freedom. May our actions be worthy of their service. 

Time and time again our people have been tested. We have withstood the rise and fall of 

financial markets, endured natural disasters and felt the atrocities of war. Now, we face a global 

economic crisis. 

Yet, through these trying times, we recognize one abiding truth: we are resilient. Though we 

have been challenged, the People of Guam have and will continue to overcome adversity. 

Though we are tested, we are not broken. 

We are confident in the promise of our future; we recognize and acknowledge that our 

challenges must not be met with confidence alone.

Last year, our nation’s vulnerable economy gave way to a financial crisis not seen since the 

Great Depression. In the United States, we have witnessed the collapse of the real estate market 

and long-standing financial institutions. Globally, we have witnessed climate change, an oil 

crisis, and the war on terror. 

Though we are thousands of miles away, Guam’s economy remains largely influenced by forces 

beyond our control, be we cannot let fear paralyze our ability to act. The ongoing march of 

history tells us that with every challenge, there is the opportunity for greatness. 

As the years pass, we will be judged on how we have contributed to building a society worthy of 

our children and grandchildren. We must rise above politics and do what some think is 

impossible. This is the administration that brings resolution to many long-standing issues. 

Today, I will share our vision for a new era on Guam, the goals we must achieve to get there, and 

the successes we have had to date. The difficult issues of the past have landed on our shoulders 

of myself and elected leaders and we are called upon to deal with them now. As leaders, we all 

share the responsibility of closing the Ordot Dump and opening a new landfill. 

The decisions we make now will affect the health and safety of our people. Without the luxury 

of time, we must be clear, focused, and decisive. President John F. Kennedy said, “There are 

risks and costs to a program of action, but they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of 

comfortable inaction.” 

Just three days ago, the Federal District Court ordered the Government of Guam to pay one 

million dollars a week to our federal receiver. This obligation will jeopardize essential 

government services. 

My most recent attempt to resolve this matter has been my transmittal of Bill #51, which outlines 

several options for direct or alternative financing. Members of the Guam Legislature, I implore 

you, pass Bill 51. May God bless you with courage and wisdom. With proper authorization, as 

Governor of Guam, I will bring closure to this issue. 

I have also submitted my proposed Fiscal Year 2010 budget to the Legislature, reflecting a 2% 

increase in revenues from the previous year. This conservative budget demonstrates that our 

priorities continue to be the education of our youth, the health of our citizens, and the safety of 

all. 

Projected revenues are expected to reach $533 million. These funds will be used to continue 

vital government services, address urgent financial matters and reduce our deficit. 

We remain optimistic about our long term economic outlook. While we must continue our work 

toward a more efficient and effective government, we must do all we can to achieve increased 

revenues by addressing the real issue. The Department of Revenue and Taxation will pursue 

those who escape assessment, under report, or fail to file tax returns: preventing the loss of

millions of dollars a year. Strict enforcement of our existing tax code, combined with aggressive 

collection of outstanding taxes, will result in increased revenues. 

In the midst of challenges, we continue to invest in a robust infrastructure. 

Over the past year, the Guam Waterworks Authority spent $1 million to improve the Hagatna 

Wastewater Pump Station and Ugum Treatment Plant. Work has also begun on the Talofofo 

Wastewater Treatment Plant. 

They have completed sewer outfalls for the Hagatna and Nothern Plants, improving our island’s 

wastewater system. GWA also spent $1.5 million to reduce our dependence on Navy water, 

providing Agat and Santa Rita residents with more reliable services. 

In the past six months, the Department of Public Works has undertaken $60 million worth of 

construction projects. It is their goal to issue out over $20 million worth of construction projects 

every three months for the remaining time of this administration. 

To help our island prepare for the Guam Buildup, DPW has secured $3.8 million for an 

Environmental Impact Study from the Department of Defense; they have secured $56 million in 

construction projects; and continue to aim for $1.5 billion for future projects. 

Through partnerships with private management contractors, the Guam Power Authority is 

working to alleviate the burden of higher fuel costs. GPA has saved ratepayers $124 million over 

the past 5 years. To date, our base load generation capacity has increased to more than 98%: a 

marked improvement from the days of rolling power outages. 

Though the Authority has become more efficient, we are still one-hundred percent dependent on 

fossil fuels for energy generation. Late last year the price of crude oil, as we all know, peaked at 

$147 per barrel, while our people were paying more than $4 per gallon at the pump. The high 

cost of fuel has affected private businesses, government agencies, and households. No one has 

been spared. 

This is why GPA’s efforts to pursue alternative energy are so important. We fully support the 

use of alternative energy and are determined to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels. We live on 

an island with abundant sunlight, steady winds, and flowing tides, and now we should take 

advantage of our natural blessings. 

It has been determined that nearly 30 megawatts of potential wind energy may be harnessed on 

Guam to help offset our island’s dependence on fossil fuels. 

This year, GPA will issue a request for proposal to companies specializing in geothermal, solar 

and wind energy. 

GPA continues to execute plans that prepare our island for economic growth. In the last year 

they made numerous infrastructure improvements, including the connection of three major 

substations in Harmon, Tumon and Tamuning with Underground Transmission Lines. This

allows repairs to take place during typhoon recovery, quickly restoring electrical service to 

commercial and residential customers. 

As we develop our infrastructure and hasten our ability to recover, our skills and the skill of our 

work force will determine our success. 

In 2004, the first Workforce Investment Act apprenticeship pilot program was initiated with the 

Guam Shipyard and the Guam Power Authority. To date, $1.4 million has been successfully 

invested in hard working people who are now able to compete for higher paying jobs. I am happy 

to inform you that our apprenticeship training has expanded and currently includes partnerships 

with the Guam Hotel and Restaurant Association, the Guam Contractors Association and the 

Guam Trades Academy. 

More than 1,800 vocational students from the Guam Public School System have successfully 

participated in the Passports-to-Careers program and as of last year, nearly 12,000 on-line 

applications were received by our One-Stop Career Center. 

To meet the needs of our growing workforce, the 2010 budget calls for a 5% increase in funds to 

the Department of Labor. This administration will continue to support programs that will help 

meet the demands of the future. The jobs of tomorrow require that we educate our children 

today. 

To that end we have built and opened new schools such as the Liguan Elementary, Astumbo 

Middle and Okkodo High School. I look forward to the completion of the Adacao Elementary 

School in the coming months. 

We are taking steps to establish an interim campus for the more than 2,000 John F. Kennedy 

high school students. We are currently in the review, selection, and negotiation process; and we 

expect to issue a contract within the next 30 days. Our immediate goal is to relocate JFK 

students to an interim location by next school year. This temporary campus will give us time to 

complete a new and permanent JFK High School. Recently, Speaker Won Pat introduced Bill 

52, which would allow more time for the proper and most cost effective approach to build the 

new JFK. I fully support this measure and I ask her colleagues to do the same. 

Last year, I sought a change in the school board composition for GPSS and the passage of 

charger school legislation. Now, my appointees to the Guam Education Policy Board, Mr. 

Giovanni Sgambelluri and Dr. Lee Meadows, join the elected members in their mission to serve 

our students. 

In addition, I applaud the Guam Legislature for passing the Charter School legislation which I 

signed into law in January of this year. This measure increases parent choice, places learning 

ahead of bureaucracy and puts teachers back in charge of their classrooms. 

With more than 30,000 public school students and 42% of the general fund resources dedicated 

to education, I join the entire island of Guam in asking for greater accountability and good 

leadership at our GPSS.

Yet, education is more than a K through 12 process, and Guam’s institutions of higher learning 

have made great strides. 

The Guam Community College will soon open a new Allied Health Center which will support 

our efforts to meet our island’s health care needs by equipping students in the Licensed Practical 

Nursing and Medical Assisting programs. 

Through their resourcefulness, GCC has also secured nearly half a million dollars in grants to 

purchase equipment for the Construction Trades department and $2.4 million for a new Learning 

Resource Center. 

Just next door, (Governor acknowledges presence of Dr. Robert Underwood, UOG President) the 

University of Guam’s spring enrollment increased 8.5% from the previous year, further 

solidifying the university’s reputation as the educational hub of Micronesia. In addition to 

increasing certification opportunities, UOG launched a new graduate program in Clinical 

Psychology. 

Our pride in our educational institutions must be matched by our strong financial commitment. 

That is why my 2010 budget gives education more than $237 million and I ask for your full 

support. 

As we invest in our children and their education, we remain dedicated to a healthcare system that 

is worthy of their promise. I want to thank Lieutenant Governor Michael Cruz for his leadership 

in this critical area of service to our community. 

The health needs of our island are great and the demands for adequate care are high. Through 

the efforts of this administration, Guam was recently designated a Medically Underserved Area 

and was re-designated a Health Professional Shortage Area, opening the door for more medical 

practitioners to serve on Guam. These designations give us the edge we need to compete in a 

world that aggressively recruits healthcare experts. 

We are committed to increasing confidence in the Guam Memorial Hospital. Over the past four 

years, our island’s only public hospital was directed more than $29 million of Compact Impact 

funds toward pharmaceuticals, capital improvement projects, and equipment. We continue to 

improve the recruitment and retention of critically needed healthcare professionals. In addition, 

GMH has received a clean audit of their financial statements. 

I commend the many dedicated men and women who approach their jobs with passion and 

purpose. From doctors to nurses; from maintenance workers to administrators; I say thank you 

on behalf of the people of Guam. 

A little over a week ago, we declared a mental health state of emergency and moved to secure 

scarce government resources toward building mental health services to meet the needs of its 

consumers.

Our Island’s Mental Health system is faced with many challenges and I am committed to 

overcoming them. We are taking aggressive steps to comply with the permanent injunction 

requirements. During the past 8 months, they have recruited employees and they have filled 

essential positions. They have hired psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses and social workers and 

are aggressively searching for additional qualified individuals to meet important mandates. 

At the Department of Public Health and Social Services, we have made great strides and saw the 

expansion and renovation of the community health center in Inarajan, improving services to 

southern residents. The Division of Senior Citizens was recognized nationally for its completion 

and successful implementation of the Guam Medicare Assistance Program, ensuring that our 

man’åmko receive the assistance they seek. Environmental Health received funding from the 

Prescription Drug Monitoring grant which helps deter the illegal distribution of pharmaceutical 

controlled substances on our island. 

In addition to improving health services for our people, we remain dedicated to their safety. 

Through the combined efforts of the Guam Police Department and the Judiciary, in the words of 

Chief Justice Robert J. Torres as he said, “A new era of promise and possibility has begun.” 

With the opening of a new state of the art crime lab worth $5.9 million, evidence will be 

thoroughly analyzed in ways never before possible on our island. This will expedite the 

prosecution and conviction of criminals and exonerate those who are unjustly accused. 

As we keep our island safe, we must also realize that prevention is the key. The Department of 

Youth Affairs has been addressing the social issues and potentially harmful behaviors facing our 

island’s youth. 

In the past year, DYA completed the new Lågu Youth Resource Center with the help of an 

$800,000 grant. Last year also marked the completion of a new treatment and rehabilitation unit 

to help our youth struggling with addictions. 

Having new facilities, new programs, and new equipment means nothing without the dedicated 

heroes who tirelessly work to serve our community. To the men and women of the Guam Police 

Department, Guam Fire Department, Department of Corrections, Customs and Quarantine 

Agency, our Sea Port and Airport Police, and all other uniformed officers who protect and serve 

our island, again on behalf of our people, I say thank you for your hard work. 

Giving our public safety officers the tools they need requires a strong economy supported by 

secure and reliable ports of entry. 

The A.B. Won Pat Guam International Airport is a proud example of what it takes to position our 

island for future growth and opportunities. Our airport has embarked on a new era of 

transformation. With 12,000 feet of expanded runways and taxiway projects underway, the 

airport will be prepared to receive long flight from Asia to the U.S. mainland via Guam. 

Through public-private partnerships with various firms they have developed their air cargo 

distribution facilities. Guam will have approximately 200,000 square feet of cargo facilities

efore the end of 2009 made possible by DHL, PacAir, Triple B Forwarders, CTSI and MSA 

Logistics-bringing our regional distribution center initiative full circle. Altogether, our airport 

has nearly $150 million worth of completed and on-going projects that ensure its ability to meet 

the current and future demands of our transportation industry. 

The Port Authority of Guam, our Sea Port, is a lifeline to our entire community. 95% of goods 

that our residents, businesses, and military depend on arrive through our seaport. It is an 

important and often overlooked service provider. 

The Port has embarked on a new era of modernization and will soon fulfill its potential as a 

world-class seaport. I am proud to announce that we have met a significant goal in preparing our 

island for the future. Through public-private partnerships, 3 gantry cranes, completely 

refurbished at a cost of $15 million, have arrived and will be fully operational this April. The 

onset of the Guam Buildup will require significant throughput of shipping containers and bulk 

cargo and, now, our port has the capacity to handle the increase level of activity. 

The seaport’s master plan was approved by the PAG Board of Directors and received conditional 

approval from the Legislature. It calls for nearly $200 million to be used for port infrastructure 

modernization and improvements. 

Last October, the Maritime Administration, or MARAD, was designated as the lead federal 

agency for the “Port of Guam Improvement Enterprise Program.” MARAD is working with port 

officials on the issuance of a contract for a modernization management team. 

Additionally, the port is seeking designation as a U.S. Strategic Port. This designation is 

assigned to seaports that the Department of Defense intends to utilize for the quick overseas 

movement of equipment and personnel for military exercises. This allows our port to receive 

higher priority when applying for federal funding. 

We are confident that in the years to come, this administration will identify and secure the port’s 

needed funding. With the leadership of those at the Port, and I commend them, we are charting a 

new course of growth and modernization to become a world-class seaport for Guam and all of 

Micronesia. 

Our real estate landscape has been affected by the volatility of the global economy, yet new 

houses and housing subdivisions continue to be built and we anticipate the arrival of new 

military personnel will help strengthen our island’s housing market. A moratorium on building 

permits in Central Guam will be lifted in April, allowing the creation and expansion of more 

businesses and developments. 

We will pursue the long awaited senior housing project in Tumon; we will see the next phase of 

affordable housing projects take form; and we are seeing dramatic changes to the landscape in 

Upper Tumon, Pago Bay, and Talofofo. These projects make the dream of home ownership a 

reality.

Last month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security approved an updated Guam-CNMI Visa 

Waiver Program. Under new program regulations, visa-free entry will now be allowed to nonimmigrant 

visitors from locations such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, and Singapore. Those 

in our tourism industry can now expand and focus their marketing strategies to places previously 

untouched. With the federal government’s official recognition that more locations are of 

economic value to Guam, we have met a significant requirement needed to pursue these new 

markets. 

However, we join our neighbors in the CNMI in calling for a 180 day extension in the transition 

to this updated visa waiver program. In delaying the June 1 st implementation, Homeland 

Security will give our governments, and themselves, the needed time to make certain that all 

federal requirements are met. 

Due to their close proximity, the Guam Visitors Bureau plans to direct more funding towards 

promoting our island to the Chinese and Hong Kong markets. We recognize the economic 

potential and viability that both these destinations present for us and intend to capitalize on this 

opportunity. 

Over the past year, we dealt with a decline in visitor arrivals to Guam, causing stakeholders of 

the tourism industry to develop innovative solutions to address the problem. 

The Guam Visitors Bureau has created the “I Am Guam” branding campaign, which highlights 

various aspects of our island. It uses culture, language and people to cultivate a consistent and 

positive image of Guam. With “I Am Guam” we will promote our island as a viable travel 

destination to visitors worldwide. 

I, along with many others, also remain committed to seeing the completion of the Guam Museum 

which will showcase our island’s rich culture and heritage. 

We will continue to take the necessary steps towards effectively promoting this coveted gem of 

the Pacific, our island of Guam. 

After talking with key officials from both the Federal Government and Japanese Government, I 

can assure you, the Guam Buildup will happen. Nearly three years ago, I created the Civilian 

Military Taskforce by Executive order. Its mandates were very clear: plan for the Guam 

Buildup; do it for Guam’s benefit, and most importantly, do it right. 

Without the luxury of time, the CMTF was determined to rely on many perspectives. From its 

inception, many voices lent their expertise to the task of making this Guam’s Buildup, not just 

the military’s. 

Experts, planners, private partners, federal counterparts, and community stakeholders are 

working to prepare us for this opportunity, giving us the tools we need to meet the challenges 

that we face. 

In the past year, 11 sub-committees, working with the best data we could obtain, submitted our 

2010 budgetary needs to the Federal Government.

My administration is aggressively pursuing these needs, making absolutely clear that though the 

Guam Buildup is the result of bilateral agreement between two countries, mainly the U.S. and the 

people of Japan. The People of Guam will not bear the cost of these decisions without being part 

of the process. The work of the CMTF has always been inclusive, and as such, has reserved 5 

seats for our legislators. 

The CMTF works not only to sustain our quality of life, but to improve it. My vision is that their 

work will allow those who have left Guam to return home to the sustainable and fulfilling jobs 

that they deserve. We must continue, and I emphasize that we must, continue to nurture and 

develop enduring and mutually beneficial relationships with our military partners. 

Vision is a peoples’ hope for a preferred future. As leaders we are expected to have a vision of 

where we must go and how we will get there. Our island is faced with opportunities that our 

leaders of the past could not have imagined. These opportunities will provide our people with 

what they deserve: accessible healthcare, higher paying jobs, better education, and a better 

quality of life. 

We must act decisively to maximize and leverage our resources and position our island for the 

promise of prosperity that is before use. 

Last year, I declared this to be a “season of transformation,” and before we see the fruits of such 

promise, we must be diligent enough to lay the foundation. We must have enough foresight to 

ensure sustainability. We must acknowledge that success will require us to work together. 

It is my mission as your Governor to ensure the road map for our future is secured. We have 

developed a 2030 transportation plan; a port improvement master plan; submitted our 2010 

buildup funding requirements to the federal government; and developed a natural resource 

strategy. 

But our work is not yet over. We are currently working on a northern and central land use plan, 

housing studies, and compensatory mitigation policies. We are also updating our GPA and 

GWA master plans. 

All of our work today is paving the way for the future. In my last State of the Island Address I 

said that this is a time of development and opportunity. It is my vision that as the next leader of 

this island steps forth, and that is less than two years from now we will have a new governor, 

plans will have been laid; opportunities for financing will have been explored and secured; and 

our island will continue to move forward to the promise of our future. 

My dear people. I urge you to remember that our heritage tells us that we can navigate any sea 

and master any challenge. It is our spirit of ingenuity and innovation that gives rise to our ability 

to surpass our obstacles. 

Our island is known for its sense of family, immediate or extended, neighbor or acquaintance. 

When we are presented with a threat, we defend one another as if we were brother or sister. Our 

youth become our sons and daughters and this is who we are.

Now is the time to unite; to help one another; for industry to reach out to industry; and for village 

to reach out to village. When a family struggles, they come together and work as one. This is 

what we all must do. We all have good intentions. This is the strength of our community. 

Today we reaffirm our commitment to do what we have promised; renewing our will to work as 

hard as our people expect; remembering that hope still lives because we have been blessed with 

the opportunity to help not only ourselves but others. 

I will not spend the next two years counting down the last days of my administration or allow 

any member of my cabinet to do so. Complacency has absolutely no place in this administration. 

We will finish strong. 

In words wiser than I can summon on my own, I refer to Galatians 6:9 that says “Let us not 

become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” 

We are a people of abiding faith, sincere loyalty and profound hard work. I truly believe that we 

can accomplish what is difficult, achieve what is great, and overcome all obstacles. Every time 

we think we have measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look back and are reminded 

that our capacity may well be limitless. Nothing is impossible. 

To the naysayers and critics, I say to you in the words of Gene Kranz, “With all due respect, I 

believe this is going to be our finest hour.” 

As your Governor, my commitment to you is summed up by Philippians 3:13-14 which say… 

“By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I have got my eye on the goal, where 

God is beckoning us onward. I am off and running and I am not turning back.” 

On behalf of the Lt. Governor Michael Cruz, the servants and good people and myself, God bless 

you, God Bless Guam and God Bless America. Si Yu’us Ma’ase.

2008 STATE OF THE ISLAND ADDRESS 

By the Honorable Governor Felix P. Camacho 

April 14, 2008 

During my Inaugural Address last year, I spoke of our destiny – to move forward with unity and 

purpose during this time of unprecedented opportunity. My dear people of Guam, as I stand 

before you tonight, I am pleased to report that the leadership of your island has moved forward in 

this journey and we are transitioning into our Season of Transformation. 

Clear direction and vision 

Hafa Adai, Buenas Noches and good evening fellow citizens. It is an honor and privilege to 

present to you the state of our island today and, more importantly, the journey we must take 

moving forward. Tonight I will speak to you about the clear direction and vision we must have, 

the opportunities before us, the foundations we will lay and the inheritance we will leave for 

future generations. 

Good evening Speaker Won Pat, Chief Justice Torres, Lieutenant Governor Cruz; former 

governors; members of the Consular Corps; Senators; Attorney General Limtiaco; Public 

Auditor Brooks; Archbishop Apuron and members of the clergy; Justice and Judges; Mayors; 

members of the elected boards and commissions; members of the military; my wife, First Lady 

Joann Camacho; my mother, former First Lady Lourdes Camacho; distinguished guests; my 

fellow citizens… 

Honoring our troops 

In this great tradition of sharing the state of our island, let me first personally thank the men and 

women from Guam serving overseas in foreign lands. History will tell that this generation of 

brave soldiers have made tremendous sacrifices so that our world is safer. Some have even paid 

the ultimate sacrifice defending this great nation that today asks us to stand at the forefront of 

America's future and the security of the world. We thank Guam's sons and daughters for 

protecting our freedom. 

Trust and confidence 

This is my sixth address, and I am humbled by the trust and confidence you – the people – have 

placed in me, Lt. Governor Cruz and my cabinet to finish the good work started in 2003. As 

servant leaders, we have taken our charge to do all we can in the time allotted to lay a solid 

foundation upon which this community will build the new Guam. From the physical destruction 

of typhoon Pongsona, to an ailing economy, financial shortfalls, and the most humble of 

circumstances, this community pulled out of that dark time and five years later, we are presented 

with opportunities never before imagined. 

Season of hope 

As I stated in my inaugural address in 2007, “The goals we set together and the countless hours 

of hard work we all put in have brought positive changes that many thought could not be 

achieved. But with unyielding faith and trust in God, with perseverance, hard work and 

dedication to duty – we entered our season of hope.”

Guam Buildup 

In a few short years, this island as we know it, will be transformed by the work we do today. The 

Guam Buildup, as I like to call it, has generated much excitement and confidence in the future. 

The accompanying investments, construction and population growth will present tremendous 

opportunity for new and better jobs, higher wages and an improved quality of life for the citizens 

of Guam. We have only one opportunity to get it right. In this upcoming period of significant 

growth, we must not squander this precious opportunity. Our stewardship of the resources 

entrusted to us will determine the inheritance we leave future generations. 

We must be prepared to make sacrifices today and take bold action with a strong sense of 

purpose. With sheer determination we must stay the course no matter how difficult the 

challenges or adversities we face. 

A true partnership 

This will be a marathon, not a sprint …. one that we must all take together. In order for us to 

realize our full potential, we need to be equal and relevant stakeholders in this mission so we can 

determine the course we take. That is why I am calling for greater transparency by the 

Department of Defense in the process occurring in Guam. We must have a true partnership that 

will result in upgraded infrastructure, new schools, improved healthcare and increased public 

safety and social services for all of our people. 

Shared responsibility 

Guam's position is clear. This buildup must be a collaborative effort that benefits both our 

civilian and military communities. But the military's sense of urgency cannot place an undue 

burden on the people of Guam. The cost of this tremendous change and the financial 

requirements to meet their aggressive timelines should not be shouldered by our people alone, 

but must be a shared responsibility. The need for billions in infrastructure and social 

improvements demands the resources to get it done. That is why we are bringing our case to all 

levels of the federal government, from the President's Interagency Group on Insular Areas to the 

Federal Regional Council. Our engagement with the nation's leaders has led to real results. 

U.S. Senate oversight hearing for Guam 

Soon, I will be leaving island to testify before the United States Senate on the Guam Buildup. 

Congresswoman Bordallo and I are prepared to make the case that Guam needs federal support 

for the billions in improvements for our people. Our aggressive federal agenda is matched only 

by local efforts to provide the highest quality of life for our people. 

Guam Master Plan 

We must continue to enhance our capacity as a regional leader and hub of transportation and 

commerce in the Western Pacific and Asian region. It is for this reason that I established the 

Civilian/Military Task Force… to coordinate this government's efforts and to develop the Guam 

Master Plan. Already, master planning for our infrastructure and utility agencies is ongoing. The 

Guam Master Plan will guide the construction and renovation of roads, utilities, bridges, the sea 

port, the airport, new schools, medical facilities and public safety offices through an integrated 

effort, starting with the Fiscal Year 2010 federal budget. Infrastructure development has been

piecemeal for far too long. This must be a holistic, coordinated approach toward developing our 

goal of superior infrastructure that meets the demands of our community today and into the 

future. We must ensure that growth and development is measured, balanced and responsible. 

Seaport expansion 

Our mission at the seaport is the same. Our community, the military, international investors and 

the U.S. government all recognize how critical the seaport's successful modernization is to the 

15-billion-dollars in military expansion projects and the untold sum of private enterprise goods 

that will flow through its docks. That is why enormous efforts are ongoing to immediately fund 

needed capital improvement projects. The Port Authority of Guam has nearly completed its 

master plan calling for up to 193-million-dollars in infrastructure and facility improvements that 

will modernize our seaport to better-serve our island. When this buildup reaches its height… I 

envision a seaport that will be the catalyst of growth and prosperity. 

Buildup occurring right now 

Although the Marines will not be here until 2012, the buildup of our island is occurring right 

now. Total defense contracts amounted to more than 136-million-dollars last year, on top of local 

construction activity. Road improvements in every village were made over the past five years. 

Soon, more than 140-million-dollars in highway construction, new roads, sidewalks, bike paths 

and bridges will begin. The Airport has secured more than 150-million-dollars in federal funding 

to expand its runways and facilities, allowing trans-Pacific flights and greater opportunities for 

travel to and from different points throughout the globe. A direct result of these efforts is the 

growth of the air cargo market, which is creating new partnerships, jobs, opportunities and 

increased economic activity. 

Record-breaking real estate transactions 

Already, the real estate market has seen a rebound and is expected to continue in an upward 

trend. Last year, nearly 700-million-dollars in record-breaking real estate transactions occurred. 

Millions of dollars were spent on hotel purchases and renovations by new owners confident in 

Guam's bright future. We welcomed new restaurants. Retail outlets have opened and more will 

be built. Housing subdivisions, new homes and condominiums are being built. We've seen 

several golf courses sold to new investors who are upgrading these resorts, and the trend will 

continue in this phenomenal rebound in the real estate sector. 

Return of ancestral lands 

As growth continues, we are ensuring the people of Guam benefit from the land that is rightfully 

theirs. That is why my Administration continues to return federal excess lands to the families of 

original landowners, creating new opportunities for those who have waited years for the return of 

their lands. 

Building dreams 

As leaders, we have a duty to address the impact economic growth is having on affordable 

housing. New programs through USDA's Rural Development office, in partnership with the 

Guam Housing Corporation, are making mortgages possible for those who otherwise would not 

be able to achieve the Dream of homeownership.

Roque and Beverly Babauta 

Tonight I've invited the Babauta family as my guests to the State of the Island Address. Roque 

and Beverly Babauta and their children were the first family to buy a home under the Leveraged 

Loan Program we call Building Dreams. Their dream came true when they purchased their first 

home in Barrigada… and tonight they are with us. Mr. and Mrs. Babauta, please stand and be 

recognized. Ladies and gentlemen, we are succeeding in making homeownership a reality for the 

people of Guam. 

National Flood Insurance Program 

Even as we make homeownership possible for you, we're working to make the development of 

your homes and businesses less costly and more efficient. Just last week, FEMA reinstated our 

community into the National Flood Insurance Program, after 16 years of exclusion. This is a 

tremendous achievement for our people and our businesses. It reduces the cost of development 

for many in our community. And as we bring the American Dream of owning a home closer to 

you, we look forward to a strong economy that welcomes unprecedented investments to our 

shores. 

It is this devotion to the livelihood of our people that drives our passion to improve your quality 

of life and address the challenges you face. 

Alternative energy 

One of the most pressing issues affecting our people today is the high cost of fuel and electricity. 

This has a direct effect on our lives as transportation costs have increased on all imported goods. 

While we cannot control the global rise in the price of oil, we are working on making electricity 

bills less expensive. Power generation from liquid natural gas will be possible in four years. We 

secured 1-million-dollars in Interior Department CIP grants for a pilot wind turbine project last 

year. In the future, our efforts to use natural gas, wind, solar and ocean will mean cheaper 

electricity for the people of Guam. But that's not all. 

We also are seeking assistance from the U.S. Department of Energy to provide Guam the 

necessary resources to lessen our dependence on fossil fuels. We look forward to this and private 

sector partnerships to develop alternative and renewable energy, so that as the price of fuel goes 

up, we will reduce its use with cleaner, more affordable sources. 

Expanding tourism 

As we address the issues that affect your quality of life, we are working to expand our economic 

base, providing you with greater opportunities. And it all starts with the driving force of our 

economy… tourism. 

Lt. Governor Cruz and I will continue to energize this industry, which welcomes one-point-two 

million visitors to Guam every year. Thanks to increased economic relationships with Beijing, 

Guam is poised to compete for the world's fastest-growing tourism market. 

The China market 

Our efforts with China already brought the first charter flight earlier this year. I am establishing a

Guam China Development Council, focusing on tourism opportunities, economic development 

and cultural and education exchanges. And, working with Congresswoman Bordallo and 

members of the Senate Energy Committee, we will continue to pursue a Visa-Waiver program 

for Guam's most-promising market ….. China. 

People of Guam… our greatest asset 

The greatest asset of our evolving economy is our people. Over the past five years, we've seen 

the private sector workforce grow from 39,520 jobs at the end of 2002 to 45,320 jobs at the end 

of last year. That is an increase of 5,800 workers or a 14 percent increase in employment! 

Investing in our workforce 

We've trained many residents and placed them into gainful employment. New apprenticeship 

programs with GPA, GWA and the Guam Shipyard have opened opportunities to many more. 

The Guam Trades Academy and Guam Community College are teaching skills to help our 

people meet their full potential. And last week, the U.S. Senate approved legislation, which will 

resolve a major challenge to the workforce needed for the Guam Buildup once the President 

signs it into law. We now are one step closer in our efforts to lift the cap on foreign workers, who 

are needed to construct the military and private sector facilities over the next few years. But 

sustainable development requires that the people of Guam – not foreign workers or temporary 

hires – are ready and enlisted into the careers of tomorrow that the Guam Buildup will bring. 

Our future generation 

We have a duty to turn opportunities into lasting prosperity for the generation that will inherit 

these unprecedented times. And that duty starts in the classroom, where today's students are 

preparing to become tomorrow's workforce. They will guide this new economy. And Guam's 

ability to sustain prosperity beyond the next decade will be determined by the commitment we 

give today toward their education and training. 

Planting the seeds 

Education is a sowing and reaping process. It is like a seed. It is a gradual process. It takes place 

like the growth of a plant or tree. A seed is planted; given some time, nourishment, care and 

sunlight. A huge tree bears fruit. This same principle applies to our children. The ideas that are 

sown in them will grow over the years and produce fruit, manifesting in every aspect of life – 

personal, social, political and economic. 

Lack of accountability 

We all know how important it is for our children to receive the best education that we can 

provide them. However, we can no longer afford to pour millions of dollars into GPSS without 

the necessary accountability for those funds, and tangible results in our children's education. 

GPSS -$2.8 billion since 1993 

Since 1993, GPSS has spent more than 2-point-8 billion-dollars … an average of 200-milliondollars 

each year! Yet, test scores are still low. Facilities are not maintained. Supplies are 

lacking. Vendors are not paid. And many high school graduates do not have the necessary skills 

to qualify and compete for gainful employment. Much has been given to GPSS with little to 

show for it. The system in place is simply not working. What we have today is the result of many

laws passed over the years to try to fix GPSS. Current law gives GPSS free reign over all the 

financial resources without any checks or balances… without any way for us to make certain that 

money is spent where it is most needed. 

Paradigm shift 

Billions in local and federal dollars have been spent. Good money has been thrown at a bad 

situation with everyone believing that if MORE MONEY was appropriated, the problems will be 

solved. Yet, it's only gotten worse. It is time for an institutional paradigm shift in the Guam 

Public School System. I am calling for: 

Education… A call for action 

- A change in the school board composition so that some members are elected while 

others are appointed… because continuity is critical to the stability of our school 

system. 

- Restoration of Executive Branch authority over GPSS to ensure checks and balances 

in budgeting, procurement and personnel matters. 

- Reinstatement of the Governor's authority to appoint the Superintendent. 

- Outsourcing of services where necessary. 

- And, the creation of charter schools within the GPSS system. 

Charter schools 

I have had discussions with Speaker Won Pat about her idea to implement charter schools. There 

are many jurisdictions where this concept has worked and, surely, some where it has not. Let us 

take the best practices that have been applied elsewhere and tailor them to Guam. Let us be bold 

in our thinking and courageous in our action. I applaud Speaker Won Pat for taking this initiative 

that has my full support. 

Making a difference 

While our community has cried out for something to be done, some people have already made a 

difference. Tonight I want to recognize the parents and guardians of the schoolchildren of Guam. 

I've invited two of them as my special guests. 

George and Sheila Salas 

Sheila Salas works at Juan M. Guerrero Elementary School. Her husband George was president 

of the island-wide Parent Teacher Association Congress. Nearly three years ago as my initiative 

to build four new schools was stalled, Mr. and Mrs. Salas gathered parents together, marched to 

the former Attorney General's office and demanded he sign the lease agreement to build new 

schools. Because of their collective will and influence, that contract was signed and construction 

started just months later. George and Sheila, please stand and be recognized! 

New schools 

By the beginning of the next school year, we will have three new schools ready for our children. 

I want to thank Speaker Won Pat for her commitment to call session on April 21 to address my 

proposal that will finance the equipment needed at these new schools. Senators, I ask for your 

support.

We will build more schools and continue advocating for more resources to find its way into the 

classrooms and not in the bureaucracy of the Guam Public School System. Our military partners 

at Andersen Air Force Base and U.S. DOE are currently negotiating a land exchange for the 

proposed Marbo site for another high school. General Owens, we appreciate your full 

commitment to this initiative. 

Preparing the next generation 

Lt. Governor Cruz and I share the same goals as parents and teachers across Guam. We want to 

prepare the next generation for the opportunities of tomorrow. We want our schoolchildren to 

have the best careers… to raise families in good homes… to live in a better Guam with safer 

neighborhoods and better access to healthcare. 

Our healthcare advocate 

Seventeen months ago, in the midst of rising healthcare costs and climbing rates of disease, you 

elected a doctor to serve along my side. Lt. Governor Cruz has been the greatest advocate of 

preventive and affordable healthcare ever since. 

Hospital accreditation 

We all know the challenges facing our island's only civilian hospital, but we continue to make 

steady progress. Since 2004, we have given the hospital more than 22-million dollars in Compact 

Impact funding. Our administration took a hospital that had numerous challenges to its survival 

and we are now closer than ever to receiving Joint Commission Accreditation. 

Hospital expansion 

And today we are working to identify different funding opportunities with our federal partners to 

move forward with our hospital expansion projects to meet the growing demands of our island. 

As we carry on our efforts to expand the facility and improve services, this Administration is 

placing an emphasis on preventive health care. 

Preventive healthcare 

The challenges we face are not hindering our work to secure a healthier future for our children. 

We are refocusing our island's attention on disease prevention to reduce the occurrence of 

diabetes, cancer, heart disease and other illnesses that are affecting the ones we love… because 

we must prepare our families for a healthier and safer future. 

Safer streets 

We have committed additional resources to your security through the years. We've hired more 

law enforcement officers. We've given them better equipment. We rebuilt Barrigada's fire station 

and built police precincts in Tumon and Dededo. Construction of the regional forensic crime lab 

is underway and the Emergency Operations Center will open this year. 

TOPOFF 4 

Our law enforcement officers and first responders excelled in TOPOFF 4, the nation's premier 

test of readiness to terrorism. I want to recognize those involved in T4 and all of our uniformed 

officers who put their lives on the line every day.

Honoring Sergeant Frankie Smith 

Several months ago one of them paid the ultimate sacrifice. Sergeant Frankie Smith belongs to a 

hall of heroes who gave their lives protecting ours. He and the hundreds of professionals 

patrolling our streets, rehabilitating criminals, marshaling the courts, providing emergency aid 

and defending our country deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. 

Our collective commitment 

Along with these men and women, government employees join thousands of our people in the 

private sector making a difference in this time we have been given. I am grateful for the work 

you do each day and for our collective commitment to walk this journey together and build the 

foundations we need. 

Government finances 

We've come far and broken through many barriers to move our island forward. But we need the 

support of this Legislature to build the financial base that will establish greater opportunities for 

our people. 

$500 million deficit 

Decades of government debt upon debt, and mandates without funding, threaten the good work 

we are doing for the future. We are faced with a half-billion dollar deficit. The government's 

finances jeopardize the potential of our island to grow at a time when we are preparing for this 

historic buildup. 

My fellow citizens of Guam, time and again you have heard me speak of the urgency in 

addressing the GovGuam deficit. I spoke of the negative effect it is having on the lives of our 

people and our government's ability to provide even the most basic critical services to this 

community. 

Fiscal responsibility 

Last year, we needed to take out a loan to pay teachers… and as a result … the government was 

placed on CreditWatch. Because the market recognized my administration's commitment to fix 

our financial problems, the CreditWatch was lifted. But the current state of our fiscal affairs and 

the lack of a solid financial plan to navigate our way through these times is beginning to hurt 

GPA, GWA and the Sea Port's ability to finance much-needed upgrades. 

Fiscal Recovery and Deficit Elimination Plan 

I proposed a Fiscal Recovery and Deficit Elimination Plan, which would have balanced the 

budget, eliminated the deficit and begin to create reserves by the year 2014. My plan was not 

acted on and the situation continues to worsen. And just last month, the federal district court 

placed the government of Guam in receivership for the Ordot Dump. 

A call for collaboration 

The current trend is a clear warning… inaction on the deficit will only hurt our people more. The 

domino effect of the deficit is escalating the problem so that it will eventually touch every aspect 

of our people's lives. Today, as we prepare for the tremendous opportunities that the Guam 

Buildup will bring, it is critical that all the leaders of Guam work collaboratively in developing a

sound fiscal plan to see us through. We must recognize the realities of the times and act 

accordingly. We must strategize, plan and execute to be over and on top of the circumstances and 

not under the circumstances. We must be in control of our destiny. 

Time of transition 

The time is now to restructure the debt of this government. Fear of change has paralyzed this 

island and the government of Guam for decades. The old ways are past us and are no longer 

effective. We must face the challenges that stand in the way of the promise this new season 

brings. We must prepare our island in this time of transition toward great things to come. 

Together, with cooperation, collaboration and resolve we will prosper. 

Our journey is far from over 

My fellow citizens, I want to thank you for inviting me into your homes this evening to share the 

state of our island. Although we have come a long way together, our journey is far from over. 

What we do now will determine the prosperity we all seek. It all starts in this time of transition 

…. When we raise the level of expectancy and pursue a higher standard of excellence for this 

place we all call home. 

We must guard against poverty, take some risks, sacrifice and begin to invest for the future. We 

must stand ready to inspire action and equip our people with the skill and capacity to succeed. 

Bold steps 

The time of prosperity and abundance is coming. We must be steadfast in our commitment to 

make a difference. Anything less will fall short of the mark. We must assert our collective will, 

take bold steps and implement progressive initiatives to build the new Guam … transformed and 

fulfilling its potential. 

Embracing opportunities 

The people of Guam have never shied away from challenges and we will continue that proud 

tradition. We will embrace the opportunities before us and turn them into lasting prosperity for 

all generations to come. 

We will do this together. 

We will do this United. 

I believe that this is our calling and our mandate as a people. 

I believe in all of you … the people of Guam. 

And I believe that we will be guided by God's Grace and Wisdom. 

Thank you. God Bless You. And God Bless Guam.
