LAMORENA V Government of Guam DIRECTOR 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.

  • Troy Torres - Citizen of Guam
    Troy Torres - Citizen of Guam Responding to media request for reply to Ray Tenorio For immediate release, September 18, 2018 (Yigo, Guam) The fact that Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him by the Attorney General makes me question whether he is actually mentally competent and fit to hold his current position as lieutenant governor of Guam. At this point I’m not sure if we, as a community, should invoke 10 GCA § 82202 or 3 GCA § 1121. I was not in Tumon nor anywhere near the Block Party on the night that Ray Tenorio was drunk, repeatedly grabbing a police officer’s gun and pointing a loaded weapon at law enforcement officers. I was not there when he committed reckless conduct. I was not there when he first lied about it publicly and blamed the officer. I was not there when he then changed his story and apologized over and over and over for his actions. I was, however, at the Dededo precinct several days later where I proudly filed a police report based on his actions as is my right as a citizen of this island. So if Ray Tenorio is blaming me for the criminal charges filed against him then he is wrong. That is his own fault. If he is blaming me for making sure his reckless and shocking actions did not get swept under the rug well, then, guilty as charged. I filed that report to make sure the corruption of this Administration did not continue to permeate through the darkness and that it would be brought to light.

  • Govenor Calvo's 2011 State of the Island Address
    The 2011 State of the Island Address March 13, 2011 By Governor Eddie Baza Calvo Good morning, my fellow Guamanians, Christine and I, Notch and Ray have reserved a seat here in the front. It is dedicated to the unborn, those who came before us, and our sons and daughters off at war. Consul General Kimura, we also dedicate this place to those who perished from the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan. Before I begin, may I just reflect upon our blessings from above? Three nights ago, the most concentrated waves from a tsunami passed just miles north of the Marianas. I was conducting a Cabinet meeting when a note was passed to me that a massive earthquake rocked Japan, and a Tsunami Watch was in effect for Guam. My senior staff and I left immediately to Civil Defense to command the island’s emergency operations, when the event was upgraded to a Tsunami Warning. I considered my duty as governor. I considered the trust you placed in me to keep you safe. It was, by far, the most concerning experience I have had as a leader. I had to consider the possibility that a tsunami may harm Guamanians. The government’s brave first responders acted swiftly to protect you. The mayors and vice mayors, always the leaders on the front lines of our community, were with you. They accommodated every special need and answered your concerns, without regard for their own safety. By God’s Grace, our island was spared. But our brothers and sisters in Japan were not so fortunate.
