The Great Debaters

August 18th marked a milestone for Baldo and his news station. They brought exclusive coverage of the Gubernatorial Debate to the people of Guam. Politics are huge in Guam...like huge. It was no surprise that the debate was the hottest ticket in town last night, so how could I miss it?

Not only was GNW bringing live coverage, they were the only station bringing live coverage.

Word.

Reporter Baldo Besich was hard at work brainstorming,

interviewing,

and fine-tuning his live reporting skills.

I was in charge of tasting all the yummy food and desserts...

(Notice the lack of dinner pictures...my hunger outweighed the need to snap my camera)

The debate taught Baldo and I about the passion Guamanians have for their island. I was touched to hear the chants in the lobby before the debate began.

Vivà Republican!

Vivà Unidad!

Vivà Guahan!

We love this stuff.
