Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Mike Phillips is brilliant....I'd like to say that he's making too much money to want to become a judge, but in reality, he does a lot of his work pro bono. He's passionate about things about Guam, about Chamorros, about land issues and about war reparations(and though we don't see eye to eye on them because I'd like to forget things about the war) he wants to fight for reparations. Yesterday, he was not happy about how his aunt went back on her word. KUAM's website reported that:" The Democratic Party of Guam chairman says it goes against the very principles of his party, and isn't holding back when it comes to how he feels about legislation introduced by Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo. Attorney Mike Phillips claims Bordallo has betrayed the people of Guam in its quest for war reparations" in the issue over the new and hurried buy-me-votes Loyalty Recognition Act........
Supposedly, she promised that she would do everything she could to get reparations for those that suffered including their survivors......"war reparations should be for all survivors. Phillips claimed the real reason the legislation was introduced so quickly and a public hearing scheduled just a few days later is to prevent those who are against the legislation from testifying. Phillips contends the Congresswoman and supporters of the bill are misleading the people of Guam." Well, it wasn't and, he's upset. Sabrina Matanane
quotes Phillips saying further that: "

Phillips says Bordallo should at least have introduced the legislation without the cut off date. He stated, "And it's just a shame that you won't even ask." Phillips also responds to claims that the language of the legislation was drafted by the DOI, saying Bordallo is acting like Pontius Pilate."
(Pontius Pilate has been enshrined forever in the cowards’ Hall of Shame. Though he knew the charges against Jesus Christ were void of substance, because of his spineless politicism, he delivered the Son of God over to the rebellious Jews for crucifixion (see Mt. 27:15-26; Mk. 15:6-15; Lk. 23:13-25; Jn. 18-In case you didn't know how this name fit in the description!)
Matanane further quotes Phillips as saying: "Phillips says Bordallo has gone back on her word, saying, "What she's done is held a number of meetings where she's pledge to us personally that she would not introduce such a bill in fact she said that at the first window of opportunity she would correct that injustice. And in fact what she's done is introduced that very bill."
BJ Cruz, Mark Forbes and Tony Unpingco will be for it the pushing of whatever it is......whatever passes will get them votes.... Mike Phillips isn't running for any elected office. He'll sit back and remember the promise made and broken by Congresswoman and I'll wonder if he'll ever take her at her word again......
If there's something I know about Mike Phillips.....it's that his word counts for something....there are few people on the island that I can say this about. (I just wish I knew what biblical names he has for some of the other government heads.....Judas, et cetera.)
