Through you I have witnessed the persistence and endurance of my ancestors who never failed in constructing a latte. I gima` taotao mo`na the house of the ancient people. Hågu i acho` latte-ku. You are my latte stone. The latte stone (acho` latte) was once the foundation of Chamoru homes in the Mariana Islands. It was carved out of limestone or basalt and varied in size, measuring between three and sixteen feet in height. It contained two parts, the tasa (a cup-like shape, the top portion of the latte) and the haligi (the bottom pillar) and were organized into two rows, with three to seven latte stones per row. Today, several latte stones still stand, and there are also many remnants of them throughout the Marianas. Though Chamorus no longer use latte stones as the foundations of their homes, the latte symbolize the strength of the Chamorus and their culture as well as their resiliency in times of change.

    FRANK LEON GUERRERO/DEMOCRAT QUESTIONNAIRE The deadline to submit written answers is September 30th, 2020 Legislative Candidate Interview Vying For Election To The 36th Guam Legislature A. Real Estate Industry Related 1. The Governor’s office has upgraded the classification of the real estate industry as an essential service during COVID-19 “Condition of Readiness” operating restrictions. However, the Government of Guam agencies that are part and parcel of the real estate industry remain either closed or inactive. (The real estate industry encompasses private sector real estate activities as well as Government of Guam agencies that are involved in the processing of real estate transactions including taxation, recordation, land management interaction, construction and land use permitting, building inspections, building occupancy, and document recordation.). Will you support the preparation and passage of legislation to classify the whole of the real estate industry encompassing both the private sector and related Government of Guam agencies as TRUE ESSENTIAL SERVICES? While I am aware of their being a distinction between “essential services” and “true essential services”. This crisis has forced the awareness of being able to operate the government by implementing a complete digital transformation of distinction government. In many communities across the country obtaining a mortgage and buying a home are processed entirely online. If elected I will work closely with the Association on legislation that will address these concerns. Real Estate is a critical part of our locally grown economy. 2. The Guam Land Use Commission (GLUC) application processing system has been rendered inactive by GovGuam COVID restrictions since March 2020 with no apparent urgency to restore the system to full operation.
