Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I heard Romeo Carlos for the first time last Friday. He didn't yell in my ears which I thought was cool. He didn't try to convince me to think the way he did...I thought that was cool too. He seemed to know about local politics, mostly democrat-oriented, but that was also cool. I thought, cool, I could listen to the guy must especially since he didn't insult or argue with the callers. Yesterday, he sat in for the afternoon show host who was away on assignment. He had democrat guests, I don't know if Ron McNinch was supposed to be a referee but thought he could have invited a republican to 'balance' the discussion, but hey, that's not my show...nor my call. He did, however, ask the questions why the senators why they thought the former governor should be re-elected. I had company and wasn't able to hear the rest of the show.
This morning, I heard my favorite caller, Flora call Ray Gibson's show to publicly apologize to Mr. Carlos because she called to say something to him. This morning, I also heard Mr. Carlos mention Marissa Eusebio's name for doing a story on him and not getting the facts straight, as well as some other stuff that seems to be going on on the K57 webpage that's really a petty place where petty people write petty things.
I hated to hear Mr. Carlos being reduced to a person using his time on K57 to get even with all those people who may have said or reported untruths about him. If they were untrue, his goodness will prove the naysayers. But to try to whitewash your character and try to right every wrong anyone's said about you on the radio will just bring you down to the level of the people that have told the lies about you. Mr. Carlos you need to rise above the naysayers. You need to take the high road. I think you have a lot of good ideas and you're perfect for getting your thoughts across to the listeners. I think you can make a difference to those who listen. I think you are the kind of talk show host who can stimulate the thoughts of the listener. Don't waste your time by those people who didn't appreciate or see your greatness, mentioning them only causes us to think that you have come to K57 with flaws. I'd like to think that you don't. To think that you are bothered by a rookie reporter is crazy and not worth a moment's thought, certaintly not worth mentioning on the air.
May I suggest a few women who make things happen on Guam that deserve your praise? Lillian Posadas at GMH, Jennifer Rosario at GMH, Doctor Annie Bordallo, Dr. Ellen Bez, Dr. Rosie Villagomez-Palisson, Sister Cabrini Taitano,(President of the Sisters of Mercy) Dr. Jitka Lom, Dr. Anita San Nicolas of Take Care Eye Care, Cerila Rapadas of Catholic Social Service(the counter part of the Salvation Army)these are just a few of the quiet army of women who don't make the news on a daily basis but touch lives and make a difference. I wish I had the space to name them all because there are more women out there than just the Rlenes and the people that do things that make the news. But...I agree 100% with you on Jayne Flores! She shoots from the heart and hits on target every time.
Welcome to the uncharted territory of talk radio, Romeo!
