TESTIMONY
IN THE PRESERVATION OF CHAMORRO MODERN HISTORY: 1950 - 1970 A.D.:The
historic Governor Manuel F.L. Guererro Administration Building(DOA),
Hagatna by Senator Hope Alvarez Hope Cristobal -OPI(R)
Senator Rory J. Respicio, Chairman
Committee on Rules, Federal, Foreign & Micronesian Affairs, Human
& Natural Resources, Election Reform and Capitol District Mina’ Trentai Tres Na Liheslaturan Guahan 2015 (First) Regular Session
March 4, 2015 Reference: Bill No. 32-33 (COR)
Hafa adai, Senot Presidente Rory Respicio, Senator Tina Muna-Barnes yan Speaker Judith WonPat:
Thank you for this opportunity to present testimony on Bill
32-22(COR)—the demolition of the Gov. Manuel F.L. Guerrero Building in
Hagatna also known as the Dept. of Administration Bldg. To those of us
who frequented the building in the days of the Department of Education
and the Department of Administration for one reason or another. For the
record, my name is Hope Alvarez Cristobal. I am from Tamuning Village
and I am here in opposition to Bill 32-33 (COR) that will destroy a Guam
historic property.
Over the years, I have been concerned at the
rate and the destruction of evidences of our existence and history as a
people—one that is non-self-governing today and a people whose homeland
is a territory of another country. We are a people who have yet to write
our history as a people about what makes us distinct as a people in our
homeland. To do this is to continue to place respect in the tangible
evidence of our Chamorro identity and history. This bill proposed
destruction of the historically significant Manuel F.L. Guererro
Administration Building is a discriminate and reckless act that I feel
is anti-Chamorro history and cultural heritage.
For many years, I
worked to protect burial sites of our people; many of whom lived in the
second largest Chamorro settlement in the 17th century, in Tumon, not
far from where I live today. My experiences regarding the preservation
of those burial sites usually began when there was a failure to inform
the public through the DPW permitting process at that time. Eventually,
the Guam Historic Preservation Review Board would make public
announcement that (a burial site or) an important historic property is
being considered by the Historic Review Board and public comment is
invited. It was through this process that people like myself
participated in articulating the purposes and procedures for their
preservation.
My other experiences relate to the historic
properties that were slated for destruction as collateral damage in the
building of hotels at Mata’pang Beach, at Gokna where the Nikko Hotel
now stands, at the former Fujita Hotel and at Tumhom proper where the
Hyatt Hotel now stands. I learned about the desecrations and destruction
through the publicly announced Meeting Agenda of the Board. This was
how it was. This review process existed for public comment and input on
impacts to these important historic properties. And if our concern seems
to be ignored, it was essential to get the word out by informing and
exposing to the media any anomalies that is preventing the preservation
and respect to the historic burial grounds. If it appears that there may
be collusion, we went to the Court and got an injunction to prevent the
project from destroying the burial grounds of our ancestors. It is this
kind of commitment to the preservation of our heritage that we espouse
to even today – to insure that the evidence of our identity is respected
and not destroyed.
Another experience was the historic Rosario
House built in the 1800s, right here in the Hagatna Historic District.
After discovering through our network of historic preservationist that
the building is slotted for demolition, I filed a complaint to the SHPO
at that time and the complaint procedurally placed the Rosario House in
their Meeting Agenda for board discussion and public comment. I was able
to study and visit the structure and presented to the board my
opposition to its destruction and recommend its preservation because of
its historic significance. In this way, I and others who were able to
provide definite information about the structure, participated and were
able to help in preserving it. The process worked and today the building
finally will be restored by Government of Guam funds.
Yet
another historic property issue was the proposal to MAIL out the over
300 human remains of our ancestors excavated at Gokna, in mailboxes—to
be sent off-island for study. The Historic Review Board placed this
issue in its Meeting Agenda and that was what alerted me that the Board
with members with technical knowledge in the field of architecture,
history, planning, archaeology and education was able to discuss and
vote to deny the request to mail our ancestors remains after comments
were allowed to be heard.
As an activist, a former University of
Guam history professor, I am deeply concerned with the erasing of our
Chamorro historic properties, the erasing of place names and the erasing
of evidences of our history as a people of Guam. This is a colonial
practice that needs to be abated. Our historic properties hold meaning
to our people and it is through these meanings and connections that we
construct the legitimacy to create and build community. We must cherish
and preserve them for the memories and history that lift us up and for
the edification of our people – with this caring attitude embodied
already in our historic preservation laws – our yet to be written
historic narrative will not be empty of substance associated with our
heritage – in this case – the Governor Manuel F. L. Guererro
Administration building.
Here we are, 15 years into the 21st
century, and rather than studying its historicity, our people are faced
with a Bill to demolish a property that has been named by law to honor
Governor Manuel F.L. Guererro and has been listed in Guam’s inventory of
historic properties but had not gone through the well-established
process formally listing them after detailed studies of its eligibility
to the Guam and National Register of Historic Places.
Why was
this historic property never placed on the Guam Historic Preservation
Review (GHPRB) Agenda for proper historic preservation review due to
impending proposal to destroy it? Did the members of the Board not want
to discuss this? Is it a foregone conclusion of theirs that no public
comment is needed because the Chairman had already publicly and
unilaterally stated his personal preference (for demolition) as to how
this historic property will be impacted by the planned restoration of
the Spanish Palasyo? Why are they treating this historic property
differently? I believe that this individual may have prematurely made a
decision undermining the historic review process, rather than allowing
the Board members and SHPO staff to provide their expert opinions—the
reason for their being selected to be on that Board in the first place
and rather than, allowing public comment. And this is alarming because
this action(proposed destruction without review) forces the public to
ask the Department of Interior’s National Park Service Western Regional
Office – whether the action violates federal guidelines in the treatment
of historic properties – which may endanger the yearly Historic
Preservation Fund grant due to possible non-compliance.
I find it
also peculiar that the historic preservation process of nominating
sites to the Guam and National Register of Historic Places is
mysteriously being bypassed by this proposed legislation. This proposed
legislation may be eliminating the normal historic preservation review
of Guam’s historic property (and other historic properties)the Governor
Manuel F.L. Guererro Building I have participated in past meetings. My
dear colleagues, if I do not convince you to kill this bill. Do the
right thing and honor our heritage by preserving this building otherwise
you may have usurped the existing process for historic properties in
Guam (critical technical review) and eliminates public review and
scrutiny.
I want to reiterate again my concern about the manner
by which this historic property is being handled by the Guam Historic
Preservation Review Board. The Legislature in its infinite wisdom must
not allow the selective application of only some attributes of the
landscape as important and erase the structural representation of an
important historical period—of our early political development because,
this Legislature will then have to take responsibility for the deafening
silences of what is not made significant or important in our
development as a people; something yet to be written about the emergent
experiences of a non-self-governing people that would otherwise be
showcased and pronounced by preserving the Manuel F.L. Guerrero
building.
Why would anyone want to diminish or erase this significant period in our history and its tangible reminder? Why?
This is a scenario that appears to reveal possible dishonesty.
If demolition is approved, GEDA and/governor’s office will now take
over the project, who will manage the bldg proper/grounds of Plaza de
Espana, it’s not in the bill?? What are you trying to hide with this
Bill? That you are turning over the Palasyo to the Governor’s
Office?...that’s what appears behind the words here?
This bill
makes it look like there is collusion to destroy this historic structure
at all cost. Please investigate if there is attempt to corrupt the
historic preservation process. Here you have quick office spaces
available, maybe even an exhibit facility, …looks funny to me. This bldg
is historical; can be rehabilitated. Where is Guam’s real estate
planner? We can even have Legislative Repository, a required place for a
certified archival depository for the Legislative Branch, similar to
congressional records of the U.S. Congress. Hafa? Think of the options
and opportunities for alternative uses.
My dear senators, look
around, open your eyes. You can see how little has remained over time
from the ravages of colonial occupation of a once sovereign people, a
war not of our doing, clearing and grading for urbanization that changed
our physical landscape as well as our cultural landscape, the near
total destruction of Hagatna, the desecrations and destruction of our
ancestors’ sacred burial grounds. The question that we should be asking
ourselves, What do we have left that can significantly contribute to our
identity as an emerging people? Or, that could contribute to our
national pride as a people? Or, that could enhance and enlighten the
history of our people? Is the historicity of the Gov. Manuel F. L.
Guerrero building and all the activities that make it significant
historically, is it worth preserving? I say, YES! The building is not
EMPTY nor is it dead space! Know your history! And preserve our
historical sites and allow the keeping of our historical integrity. Do
not be a part of erasing that history within and through the final plans
that will only take up the significance of the Palasyo. Make a stand
for a decolonized history, for a better future for our people through
the depiction of our struggles as emergent people—a people yearning to
restore our sovereignty.
Imagine a tour guide discussing the
history of our people. That narrative will go something like, “And here
is the building in which:
a) The first appointed Chamorro Governor’s Office was housed. b) The first elected Chamorro Governor’s Office was located. c) The first Political Status Commission was signed into law. d) The post-war local civilian government was implemented.
e) The ideas of emerging from a colonial past were formulated…where the
first Chamorro Land Trust Commission was signed into law. f) In fact, the Guam Historic Preservation Act was signed in to law in that building in PL 12-126.
g) This is the place that Chamorros, after WWII, took positions as
Governors, Lt. Governors, Directors, Surveyors, Accountants, Treasurers,
Civil Service Managers, Budget Directors, Education Directors, Chief of
Staffs, Secretaries, Public Servants – refuge and training ground to
serve our people and learn the business of administering and governing
ourselves.
And, these are just a listing of significant historic events.
I recall, at the time I became Ms. Guam Universe in 1967, 2 years
before Governor Carlos Camacho’s term ended. Chilang Bamba, Tita Souder,
Tina Perez, Margaret Jones (bless her soul, she is still here with us
today), how these strong women of their time, made it a rule that,
before anyone leaves off-island to represent our “country”, that, we pay
our respects to Guam’s highest official so that he can impart his
wisdom and blessings for the sake of our dignity as a people. I recall
also at the time, how Governor Camacho requested that our group pay
respects to the Air Force general, General Crumm—and, off we went to do
just that. I was 21 years old and I thought I was in my prime; but, my
dear senators, my prime, our prime, your prime comes when we, you, can
respond in a way as to enhance and promote our people, our national
pride and identity as a people whose history is worth saving, worth
preserving for our progeny.
So, how can you adapt this old building to the needs of our modern lives?
a) Well, we can first think of how the government can save money in
rentals. We have about 50,000 sq ft of office space that can be rental
space that’ll probably give us millions of dollars in savings in the
three years.(About $1.50 per square feet rental in Hagatna).
b)
Why can’t this space be used for your Legislative Offices rather than
rent? Its a win-win savings for the people of Guam/Legislature where
millions of dollars have been spent for rental using the people’s tax
dollars. That didn’t require any scientific computation to figure out.
Maybe we should ask ourselves who could possibly monetarily benefit from
the demolition of a 50,000 sq. ft. of office space—something that we
now have, that we could use? Anyone that you know of?
Si Yu’os ma’ase’. Please preserve the Gov. Manuel F.L. Guerrero building.
