Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I've not seen the results of any of Gerry Perez' SATs, perhaps he's a Menzie's member but you can be sure, he's no flatliner and thinks out of the box. He's quite responsible for the success of DFS having been its general manager(president the politically correct title?) for years. He thinks on several wave levels while the normal person struggles to think on one.........I think that he'll find ways to include other Asian neighbors in promotions and that he'll spend monies there and not spend or keep all the 'eggs' in one precarious basket.
IMHO, it's only because the rise in the Japanese YEN that our tourist numbers have been on the increase....that and the tragic tsunami in south Asia. GVB has done little to perk up the island as far as beautification....if you don't believe me....get in the car and drive to the nearest public restroom and check it out for yourself.....imagine a tourist going into one of those 'closets'....Mr. Lamorena and the likes of him thinks that GVB means touting tourism somewhere other than Guam.......I'd like to think that maybe Mr. Perez will think that tourism begins within the home, that the welcome comes from within....we place the welcome mat just outside our doors. Our children are trained to welcome our guests...my neighbor's little boy thinks it's 'cool' to wave at tourists on the red trolleys...when they wave back at him, his parents end up waving back...I think that's where it starts...then there's the cab fares. Do you know that those cabbies charge a whole $20.00 to get from the airport to St. Anthony's Church? And that was before the gas was increased to $2.62!
I'm thinking, with Gerry Perez at the helm, the gov's sister as deputy and the gov's daughter as PIO(I think?), we have to do better, yes?
