Guam is now, GUAHAN.

By Governor Camacho's Executive Order: GUAM is now GUAHAN.  All local government agencies are to change Guam to Guahan.  Governor Camacho is also submitting a bill to the legislature to have them approve the name change. 

GUAHAN, which means, "We Have" was first recorded when Spanish explorer General Miguel López de Legazpi was on the island back in 1565 and recorded the name on his maps.   

I'm all for the name change.  However, I would have preferred to see the Reunification of the Chamorro Islands (Guahan and the Northern Marianas Islands) first, before renaming Guam to Guahan. 

I have to admit that this is a smart move for Governor Camacho to issue an executive order to change the island's name to Guahan.  Also to submit a bill to have the legislature approve the name change, this year.

It's Election Year this year.  It would be political suicide for the senators in the legislature not to approve this bill or any candidate in any office to go against it.  Chamorros are still a majority on the island. 

BIBA GUAHAN!


Keep Smiling


P.S.
So what are the residents on the island called now, if not Guamanians.  Are we Guahanians or Guahanese?
