L e tte r c h a r g e s co n flic t o f in te re s t in o m g h t h e a r in gby R onel B. C o n cep c io nSen. Herman Guerrero ex­

pressed “disappointment” over CUC Executive Director Ramon Guerrero’s letter to Senate President Joseph Inos implicat­ing “conflicts of interest” on the continued ‘power plant phase II’ oversight hearing.

Sen. Guerrero said that “Ray is simply trying to disqualify me from being chairman of the oversight committee-looking

into the CUC’s joint resolution for the approval of the new power p lan t”

According to Guerrero, it is because “he knows that the hearings we are conducting are very effective...we are asking questions that need to be an­swered and they have not been answered properly.”

He said that the CUC’s execu­tive director “is just trying to gi ve me a badname. ..I don ’ t think

he likes the hearing but the people have to know the truth.”

Guerrero is referring to the recent letter from CUC’s Guerrero to Inos dated Novem­ber 2 which implies that Sen. Guerrero, who is given the task of chairing the oversight com­mittee hearing “presents a direct conflict of interest.”

CUC’s Guerrero said that the utility company, prior to his be­coming its executive director,

Authority’s dcliqucnt borrowers are on foreclo­sure listings but some are making small pay­ments to avoid not to be foreclosed, says CDA Chairman of the Board of Directors Juan S. Tenorio.

Tenorio said that the CDA’s foreclosure list­ing ranging from 15 to 30 items, which will be referred first to the legal counsel who will send notice that legal action will be taken, unless payment will be made.

He said that the official list bearing the names of deliquent clients cannot be made public as required by members of the CDA board.

He said that this is the standard procedure that is taking place right now with the agency which provides loans to the private sector through the commercial loans department,

Tenorio said that “based on the deliquency rate, wc have to bear in mind that there are people who are deliquent but are making payments.,.]! is just that the payment is not

- enough, so their names will always be reflected on the deliquent list.”

He said that the first and last foreclosure that the CDA made was about two to three years ago on Rota.

He said that deliquent clients "can never be appreciated by the CDA because they are de­faulting on the agreement, and so we are trying our best to collect.”

The agency “feels” that it would be cheaper and less paper work if “we would try our best to collect even if the total amount of deliquency is more than the payment that they are making,” Tenorio said.

Hesaidthatincollecting payments, ihcagency does it on a case by case basis, depending on the type of business the client handles.

He cited that fanners, during typhoon season for example “will of course be deliquent on payments and we give them three tofour months grace period wherein interest is still accruing.”

He added that the CDA is not loosing money. C ontinued on page 6

“awarded” Lyonnaise Marianas America (LMA) a metering contract, which in turn “selected” Guerrero Brothers, owned by Sen. Guerrero, as subcontractor for installing the CT meters project for the CUC.

CUC Guerrero letters ’ said that “because questions are arising on how the CUC can be able to collect additional revenues to be consistent in its ability to pay Mitsubihi Corporation.

The CUC based its submitted expectation on how many cus­tomers, are metered, and how many customers are on flat-rate, the letter said.

CUC’s Guerrero said in his letter that in the last three over­

sight hearings, which the LMA participated, the following con­flicts arose:

* LMA subcontracted Guerrero Brothers as its con­tractor on the metering project.

* LMA is a contractor for the CUC for the operation and management of power. LMA is attacking the CUC’s capabilities while the CUC is paying the LMA as called for under its contractual obligation in the O&M contract executed between the CUC and the LMA.

Presentation of the Northern Marianas flag to theUnited States Park Service for display at the nation’s capital was made by CNMI Resident Representative to the United States Juan Nekai Babauta in commemorating Citi­zenship Day in the Common­wealth, according to a press re­lease from Rep. Babauta’s of­fice.

Citizenship Day is the anni­versary of the Presidential Proc­lamation which ended forty years of administration of the Northern Marianas by the United Nations and made the people of the these Pacific Islands United States c itizens. President Ronald Reagan signed the proclamation on November 3,1986.

“Citizenship Day marks the great historical change no longer would our islands be governed from afar, the press release said. Now, as US citizens ourselves, we would be self-governing and fully a part of this great nation. We add our flag here today to commemorate our becoming United States citizens and to symbolize ourCommonwealth’s standing as a full member of the American family,’’Babauta said in the press release.

The Marianas flag will fly at the Union Station Plaza directly north of the United States Capi­tol together with the flags of all the other states and non-state ar­eas of the US, the release said. Public Law 94-320, which be­came effective June 25, 1976, authorized the Secretary of the Interior to use the circular perim­eter around the area known as the

National Visitors Center as a place to fly the United States’ flags. However, the Marianas flag was not added to the display at the time of the 1986 Presiden­tial Proclamation. Resident Representative Babauta wrote to Interior Secretary Manuel Lujan recently pointing out the over­sight. Today’s presentation is a result of that letter, Babauta said in the release.

^ L e tte rs to th e Editor $ |Dear Editor

Through your esteemed pa­per I would like to extend con­gratulations to theorganizers and participants-both from the pub­lic and private sectors-for the wonderful job of organizing and conducting the Economic De­velopment Agency Workshop (EDA) on “Management of Growth in the U.S. Pacific Is­lands”, October 21-23, 1990. Organizing a workshop of such a high level and magnitude re­quired enormous amountoftime, energy, and resources. All con­tributors deserve public recog­

nition. A broad range of partici-· pants, such a governors, legisla­tors, business managers, re­searchers, and educators is what made this workshop so Special. In terms of its outcome, clearly another step towards mutual understanding and cooperation among the Pacific Island states and nations. Its long term use could be a historical step in the future growth and development of the whole U.S. Pacific region.

Choice of location for holding this workshop was very wise because the model of growth (CNMI) and the prob­lems associated with it were par­

ticularly observed by thepartici- pants. Every participant gained insights into some of the very critical current and future issues of this region through personal contact mutual discussions, in a very frank and hospitable envi-

ronment.After all the commendable

job, one aspectof the conference still needs attention and that is the orderly compilation and implementation of the workable proposals and ideas that came up during this conference. I am sure the organizers are very well aware of it and will follow it up to the end. Let us hope that the written as well as verbal com­ments are published soon and this publication does not become

another decoration piece of the bookshelves but its contents be­come practical reality for the benefit of the people of the'entire Pacific Region.

Once again congratulations to all the organizers, participants and the hosts for the job well done, the job which may be a landmark in the future growth and the economic development of the Pacific.

The garment industry in the CNMI is alive and well. With 25 garment factories operating on the island, literally thousands of apparel ranging from sweaters, pants, knit wears to sporting apparels are being made daily and shipped to major department stores in the United States, Great Britain and Canada.

The garment industry is the second largest revenue earner for the CNMI government, the first being tourism. Since 1984, the garment industry has gener­ated $8.2 million in taxes which goes to the CNMI general fund. For fiscal year 1989-90, the in­dustry paid S12-513 million in direct taxes to the government

The Commonwealth gov­ernment started accepting ap­plications for the establishment of garment factories in 1984. The measure was done to boost the local economy and to create a tax base in the private sector so as to lessen the dependency of theCNMI government on federal funding. The opportunity to es- tablishabusinessinaU.S.insular possession not subject to duties and quotas and tax incentives were given by the government to investors.

Most of the factories on the island are owned and operated by American, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Taiwanese firms. 6,200alien factory workers have been brought in from Taiwan, Korea, Thailand, thePhilippines and even Mainland China.

During the last five years, the rapid growth and increase in the number of factories in the CNMI was astounding. Despite the moratorium put into effect on July 27,1987 to regulate the swelling numberof factories and alien factory workers in the Commonwealth, 14 companies were still allowed to operate while 12 others have been al­lowed to be completed.

The moratorium was neces­sary because it not only placed a burden on the island’s infras­tructure but it also posed a threat to the health of the residents. It was also needed to protect the garment industry by preventing the U.S. government from im­posing quotas that could cripple the industry.

Garment Industry Association President Richard Pierce said that although the industry is still earning revenues, it is not as good as it used to be. The industry is beset not only by the rising cost of labor but, people now go

to places where they can get the materials and the labor done more cheaply than what is required in the CNMI. The garment indus­try’s total volume production also experienced a slight de­crease and as a result of recent trends, m an y co m p an ies h a v e found it hard to make both ends meet.

Of the 25 operating firms, only the old ones have recovered their expenses while the rest are still struggling to break even, Pierce said.

Among the current issue be­ing discussed by the Association is the proposal made by Philip­pine Labor Attache Vicente Manzano to change the current labor standards of Filipino con­tract workers in the CNMI.

Manzano is proposing to change current labor standards which will drastically change the wages given to the Filipino. Pierce said that if the proposal takes effect, the garment indus­try will be forced to look for cheaper labor in other countries. The change will not only be drastic but will also be disruptive to the whole system since the contracts of the old workers would also have to be amended.

Pierce said the problem is not between the industry and the worker but it is a matter which should be taken up by both the CNMI and Philippine gov­ernment for them to come up with a solution that would be of benefit to both employer and employee.

The garment industry has to deal with the attacks coming from competing U.S. mainland union groups and the U.S. politicians. The named groups are pressur­ing Congress to close the loop­holes in the laws that have al­lowed clothing and textile firms to operate in the Commonwealth.

The need to provide more in-

formation to the public regard­ing the garment industry was addressed when the Garment Industry Association which was organized in 1986. Headed for the past three years by Pierce, the organization aims to work with the current administration in addressing the need§ pf.the garmenHndustry.

The organization, is ,also helping the administration' in terms of-'peijdin^ legislation in the CNMI legislature and in addressing concdnW raised by

/The. federal government.Pierce said the association is

thankful that the Guerrero ad­ministration has listened to the needs of the industry by creating a Garment Industry Task Force designed to look into the various

areas and problems that beset the industry.

The Task Force is composed . of the C N M Attorney General,

representatives from the Immi­gration and Labor Departments

' 'andjhe industry itself which will , look into the wages, living and

working conditions of the workers and various areas that affect the garment industry.

The Task Force, in coopera­tion with other government and public agencies and organiza­tions has also organized sem­inars regarding the standards of fair labor services.

Despite the problems and the constant attention from U.S. politicians, the garment industry will manage to survive as it has done so for the past six years.

In terest from CIP funds to be tappedby R onel B. C o n cep c io n

ActingGovemor Benjamin T. Manglona sent a letter to the Department of the Interior’s A ssistant Secretary S tella Guerra questioning how the Commonwealth of theNorthem Marianas can u tilize the $20million interest earned from the Capital Improvement Bond issue.

Manglona’s letter to Guerra states that the Commonwealth “has earned about $20 million in interest from the capital im­provements bond issue for con­struction and the funds are

available for a drawdown for needed infrastructure projects in the CNMI.”

The letter stressed that the Northern Marianas needs “to be advised concerning exactly how much interest has been earned” and the procedure “to tap these resources.”

Manglona, said in an inter­view that an earlier Senate Com­mittee report from the United States Congress “wanted the Commonwealth toexploreother source of funding” to construct the sewage system and other in­frastructure needs.

He said that the committee

report indicated “options to fully meet infrastructure require­ments” which include:

Use of interest from the capital im provem ents bond issue; implementation of impact fees for the large hotels, garment fac­tories, and other facilities “which have increased dramatically the demand for utility services.”

. Another source is the increased contributions from local rev­enues, “which in 1991 are pro­jected to be $97 million, a nearly fivefold increase over the level revenues collected in 1985,” ac­cording to the Committee report says Manglona.

Manglona said that in 1985, a special representatives agree­ment was executed between the CNMI Govemorand the US rep­resentative providing financial assistance for the CNMI from fiscal year 1986 through 1992 or for a period of seven years.

He said that the total financial package amounted to $228 mil­lion, where $126 million was designated for Capital Develop­m ent

Manglona said that they floated a bond about three years ago and used the $126 million as a guar­antee.

Since the CNMI already needs funding and can’t wait for the year by year drawdown of the money to catch up with develop­m ent he said.

He said that by floating the bond, which is now earning in­terest “we ended up getting that money in one lumpsum and are able to fix the needed infrastruc­ture improvement'’

Manglona added that he was appointed by the Governor to take care of the Covenant Sec­tion 902 negotiations for the next seven-year financial assistance program.

The old Commonwealth House of Representatives and Senate buildings Legislative at the Civic Center Beach have now become a part of Saipan’s color­ful past Set against the blue and green-colored beach waters dotted with American tanks in World War 11 as background, the two buildings have recently been converted into historical sites.

“The two structures are his­toric, perhaps, not in the sense of architectural value but because of their association with the po­litical development of the Com­m onw ealth,” said Jesus Pangelinan, director of the De­partment of Community and Cultural Affairs (DCAA).

Pangelinan said that both buildings were constructed in the early 60s and were completed by 1966. They were put to use until 1987when typhoon Kim heavily battered and damaged the struc-

tures, thus, forcing the senators and the legislators to transfer to Capitol Hill in the same year.

One of the most significant events that took place in the Legislative building was the stay of the High Commissioner in 1966.

“Prior to that year, we had only municipal government. The districts were legislated by the Micronesian congressmen and then approved by the High C om m issioner,” saidPangelinan.

The next vital happening also_ occured at the House of Repre- ' sentatives when the Constitu­tional Convention was held in 1966.

“That was the first time we, the people of the CNMI, were given the right to write or make our own constitution. You see, we are a part of the US but we have our own customs and tradi­tion that are still enforced, “ added Pangelinan.

The directorof the DCCA said that discussion dealing on the legal status of theNMI took place also in the same venue in 1966.

“The discussion was about the US territorial party’s favor­ing the inclusion of the NMI with the US as well as the inte­gration of the territory of Guam with the US.

I guess those are but a few of the most significant things that the buildings are to be remem­bered for,” said Pangelinan.

The old structures will not be tiir'ed into museums or cob-

"webbed structures without use.On the contrary, they have

been repainted with donations coming from some private busi­nesses and are to be renovated at the cost of $50,000 for the Leg­islative Bldg. and $200,000 for the Senate Bldg. before being opened to the public.

The Senate structure will be turned into a Youth Center where all kinds of sport can be played

and where music, books, histori­cal documents and pictures can be available to be heard, read or viewed.

It will also be used as a place for get-together and learning center for youngsters which could prevent them from getting involved with vices or drugs, according to Pangelinan.

The former House of Repre­sentatives, on the other hand, will be repaired to provide shel­ter, accomodate bathrooms and comfort rooms for family pic­nics.

“GovernorLarry Guerrero has decided the uses of the buildings. There were several proposals from the private sectors to im­prove and commercialize thearea surrounding them but the Gov. did not pay attention. He wants the public to benefit from these structures,” said Pangelinan.

As historic sites,the buildings are protected under Public Law 3-39 from being destroyed, re-

moved, disturbed, displaced or disfigured. Willfull violation of this statute can result into fine or and /or imprisonment.

In fact, no buildings or struc­tures that wouldobstruct the view of these historic landmarks will be allowed to be built.

And the DCAA has started listing down the plate number of every car that goes there so they would know who to pinpoint when it comes to littering or leaving garbage within the area.

Individuals and organizations interested in using any of the two buildings are required to seek the written permission of the DCCAS director and must be submitted at least one week prior to the planned use to ensure sufficient time for review.

Anyone interested in obtain­ing more information is invited to drop by the DCAA building at Lower Base or call tel. no. 322- 9556/3334 during regular work­ing hours.

He said that members of the oversight committee will meet today to discuss the draft copy of the audit report and push through with tomorrow’s scheduled fifth and final public hearing to decide whether the CUC is capable of paying back Mitsubishi for the purchase of the $21 million power plant

Sen. Guerrero said earlier that the audited report is needed and

very important to the committee for “we will weigh our decision on thaL”

He said that they are “not sat­isfied” with the financial state­ment, projections and other documents previously submit­ted by the CUC.

According to the draft audited report, CUC’s total assets for fiscal year’s 1988 and 1989 ending Septem ber 30 was $24,364,208 m illion and $38,368,507 million respec-

tively.The draft report also states that

inventories of fuel at Sept. 30, 1988 and inventories of supplies and materials at Sept. 30, 1989 and 1988 were not taken and are not reflected on the utilities’ fi­nancial statements.

The report a ls o . specified, amongmany others, that the CUC has entered into a binding com­mitment to borrow $89 million from the CDA for proposed capital improvement projects,

and as of Sept 301988 and 1989, the CUC had borrowed $7.3 mil­lion and $16.6 million, respec­tively.

According to the audited re­port, CUC had a deficit o f $4,252,987 for fiscal year 1988 and $10,408/270 for 1989, both ending Sept. 30.

The report also explained that the CUC’s ‘ future minimum debt payments on debt and advances totals to more than $36 million, spanning from Sept.301989until 1994.

Tinian Women's Association organizedThe Mayor’s Conference

Room on Tinian was recently the site of the first and second meetings of the newly organized Tinian Women’s Association.

The group plans to conduct public awareness activities to support passage by the CNMI legislature of H.B. 7-118 (The Commonwealth Marital Act of 1990), according to a press re­lease from the group.

The stated purpose of this act is “to affirm and clarify the property rights of married per­sons in the Commonwealth.” During the second meeting, Atty. Lecia Eason, president of the Saipan group Patti Parehu, explained nuances of the law, the press release said.

The Tinian organizers include private business owners, school teachers and staff, homemakers, government employees, and members of the professional community. In the weeks to

come, the group will be circulat­ing petitions soliciting support for the passage of H.B. 7-118, according to the release.

The group plans to invite the Tinian delegation to attend the next meeting to be held Nov. 17th at 9:30 a.m. in the Tinian Golden Lobster Restaurant. All Tinian cidzens are invited. This mecring will provide the mem­bers of the delegadon with the opportunity to hear and address our concerns and to make com­ments regarding the matter.

According to existing laws, the wife in a legal marriage loses her property rights when she marries. Jointly owned property bought after the marriage is controlled by the husband. Also, if the mar­riage dissolves, this property belongs solely to the husband,. What is theirs is his after the marriage, except for personal items.

It should be noted that the terms

of this bill would come into ef­fect when no prior agreement exists. It should also be noted that both now and in the future, spouses should make official legal agreements regarding management and disposition of mutually owned property. These concerns should be addressed by the bill to resolve potential problems and to avoid expensive and lengthy legal controversies.

A spokesperson for the group said, “Current laws discourage legal marriages and encourages cohabitation without the sanc­tity of maniage. A couple will choose not to marry and deprive their children of the respect, support and stability a legal marriage provides. A woman, like her husband should have the security of knowing that her property rights are safeguarded even when she marries. She should not worry about being

coinsidered an inferior person who has no ability to own or manage property simply because she says “I do.”

Marriage does’nt eventually change the intelligence of either the husband or the wife. Our current law is an outdated shameful disgrace to all CNMI citizens. As it is the citizenship status of a new wife suddenly changes from a “full and equal citizenship and full legal rights” to “inferior second class citi­zens, with unequal legal rights.” How many men would enter into a legal marriage under the same circumstances? It’s a wonder anyone gets married these days.

Women and men of Tinian, Saipan and Rota, are encour­aged to send letters of support to the editors of local newspapers. Citizens who want “justice and equality for all” should show their courageous support for the

bill by phoning senators and congressmen. Citizens are also encouraged to write a letter or mail a copy of this article with your comments and name c/o the CNMI Legislature, Capitol Hill, Saipan 96950.

Inform your elected represen­tatives that you will vote only for people who support justice for all citizens. Tinian citizens who wish tojointheTinian Women’s Association should see or call Florine Hofscheider at433-9475 or 433-9438. Saipan residents interested in these and other is­sues should contact Lecia Eason at her law office. Persons may see copies of the proposed bill in the Mayor’s office of their vil­lage. since it is available as public information.

Let us change unfair laws so that we are proud of our laws, not embarrased or oppressed by them.

contractor to the LMA” among other companies, wayback at least 2 to 3 years ago, “when there was a call for an LMA subcontractor.”

He said that the oversight hearing is a completely different topic” which involves the pur-

“it is just that we tell them not to make payments for three months, but interest is being earned no mt ter what.”

Tenorio said that the only time that deliquency would increase tremendously is when there is a disaster particularly from the fishing and fanning sectors.

Tenorio said that the bulk of deliquencies are in the general commercial loans like apartment buildings, commercial buildings, and related type of activities.

He said that the reason why the

CDA is very lenient on deliquents is that they don’t compete with commercial banks and that most of the CD A’s clients are rejected by the commercial banks, “...so eventually, the types of loans that we have approved are high risk types of business like apart­ments and buildings which takes a longer time to recover the in­vestment.”

He said that the CDA accepts high risk, “but there is also a limit even on the CDA ...once in a while we deny applications or

chase of a plant by the CUC and the Mitsubishi Company...”

He said that the CUC “can do what they want to do with the LMA,” adding that the LMA still owes Guerrero brothers more than20,000which it should have been paid on Oct. 26,1990.

Guerrero said that in addition tothemoneythatthe LMA owes

Guerrero Brothers, LMA is still holding “some of our money which was used as collateral or as cash bond in performing this project which was already completed.”

He said that he was not fur­nished a copy of the letter and intends to question the senate president about it.

loans.”Tenorio further said that he

wants the commercial banks to help further in boosting the economy as they only participate in little projects.

He said that some of the CDA’s clients that were denied credit by the commercial banks prove to be successful in their endeavours now.

He said that the Legislature should enact a law that will re­quire the banks to help the com­munity.

S tu d e n ts to C am paign a g a in s t D ru gs A fte r W ash in gton Trip

“The Trip to the annual Na­tional Children's Day in Wash­ington, D. C., was an opportunity to express their opinions and concerns to adherent listeners,” said Galvin Jonathan Guerrero, president of the student council at ML Carmel High School on Saipan, according to a press re­lease from the Public School System (PSS).

Guerrero added, “It also of­fered the youth encouragement and reinforcement in their per­sonal efforts and endeavors for a better world.,” said the release.

The 17-year old Guerrero is the eldest son of Vicente (Ben Rai) and Jessica Guerrrero of Garapan. He is one of the three high school students from the Northern Marianas who attended the National Children’s Day activities in Washington, D. C. last month.

The other students who went on the trip are Sherrie San N icolas of M arianas High School and Ann San Nicolas Shai of Tinian High S'~>ol.

They were chaperu. d by Viola Guerrero, Oleai Elemen­tary School counselor and a Drug-Free task force member.

While in Washington, the students discussed with their peers “Programs that Work”— programs which have been ef­fective in preventing problems that affect children and youth.

They also attended the orien­tation and a musical production at George Washington Univer­sity, a youth leadership confer­ence by the Children Welfare League of America and the Na­tional Commission to Prevent

Driftnet Fishing to be tracked

AUSTRALIA (AP)- Austra­lia and New Zealand will send military tracking aircraft on flights over the South Pacific to spot fishing boats using so-called “wall of death” driftnet tech­niques, two government said today.

Prime Minister Bob Hawke said the flights of Lockreed Orions by both air forces will coincide with the fishing season, from Dec. 1 to March.

“It was in the response to this pressure, earlier this year, that Japan suspended driftnet fishing operations in the South Pacific,” Hawke said. ‘Taiwan has also reduced its fleet numbers but has indicated that it will continue some drifnet fishing this season.”

Drifncts hang more than 30 feet below the surface and stretch as far as 35 miles. Critics say they indiscriminately trap and kill fish, thousands of marine mammals and 800,000 birds a year.

Infant Mortality on Capitol Hill, a hearing of the House Com­mittee on Budget for the National Children’s Day and a creative literacy workshop hosted by Whitney Houston Foundation for Children.

Among the places they vis­ited in theNation’sCapital were the National Air and Space Museum at the Smithonian In­stitution and the US Capitoil where they met several US congressmen and senators, in­cluding Cong. Joseph P. Kennedy 11, the founder of the National Children’s Day.

The student’s trip were paid for by Gov. Larry I. Guerrero’s office.

Originally, CNMI was in­formed that all expenses will be paid by the National Children’s Day Program; but CNMI was advised at the last minute that travel expenses must be paid by the CNMI.

“We are really grateful to the Governor for his support of the program,” said J ackie Quitugua, PSS science specialist and co­ordinator of the program in the Commonwealth.

Quitugua said that the three stuidents who went on the trip will be actively taking part in the Drug-Free Program and the Youth-to-Youth Training to weam CNMI youth about the dangers of drugs.

Quitugua added that the stu­dents will be helping her and a copnsultant from Honolulu in setting up and conducting ayouth leadership retreat to be held on Dec. 26-29 on Saipan.

The PSS specialist said that one of the things known from research results of mainland prevention efforts in schools is that peer programs are an effec­tive way of getting accurate information about drugs to stu­dents.

The recruitment of new mem­bers of the CNMI Little League Baseball starts next month, said CNMI LLB president Jess Pangelinan, in a short interview at theCivic Center baseballfield during Sunday’s Sablan Ter­mites vs. Toyota Wheels match ofin the Major League Baseball.

The league starts in February next year. Since the school sea­

son is on, we do not want to interrupt the kids’ studies, nor intervene with their activities that’s why no recruitment was being done in the last three months,’’said Pangelinan.

Pangelinan also said that the little leaguers with age ranging from 10-12 to be selected will be sent to compete on Guam and then in the Far East tournament.

“Just like in the past, we will

be needing funds to defray all expenses of the team both on Guam and in the Far East,” said Pangelinan who revealed that a fund-raising campaign will be on the way in the month of May next year.

He said that this time, Tinian and Rota will be having their own teams and will be coming to Saipan to compete with the local selection during the champion­

ship games.

The last time Rota and Tinian sent their own little baseball players was in1988. They skipped participation in the 1989-90 sea­sons.

“We will be helping them in terms of conducting clinics for team officials, how to understand and apply rules and regulations properly as well as in the area of

fund-raising,” said Pangelinan, who said that there are two new baseball fields to be used in 1991—thatof KoblervilleandSan Vicente where games can be ro­tated.

The CNMI Little Baseball League placed fifth among eight countries by finishing with a 3-4 win-loss feat in theFarEastLittle League tournam ent held in Fukuoka, Japan from July 27-29 this year.
