This is one only Japanese Resort that stays faithful to the CNMI since ever since and despite pleas from the community and the local employees from the resort, INOS/TORRES are not doing nor saying anything in regards to this ongoing fiasco that baron Pedro is doing to KAN PACIFIC. Despite the resort's plans for development, MPLA ALONE is adamant to kick KAN Pacific out. Did BEST SUNSHINE lined INOS, TORRES and TENORIO's pocket with plenty silver dollars, like the saying "money talks, sh**T walks?

When the land was being cleared for the Nikko Hotel to be built on, similar findings (bones and war relics) were discovered so the project was put on hold until these findings were properly disposed of. BECQ, CRM and HPO should STOP all works until the site is safely and properly cleared of relics that are part of our history. Now, CRM Castro is saying that majority of the public are in favor for this BS investor so we know that we are continually going to be sc&amp;gt;*re24wxed! By this government!

Your personal selective decision in regards to this resort is so loud, clear and insulting to the collective land owners so please don't put words in our mouth. Option to renew should be afforded to Marianas Resort as long as they come up with improvement plans or show the financial contributions it has been making towards the lease. A faithful and committed tenant is more trustworthy than to get new, unknown risk-taker who may be flight-by-night, another money laundering front or worst, another casino/hotel schemer!!!! Pete, you don't make sound decisions anymore!! The future of our children will not disappear because of you!
