Guam - President Barack Obama recently issued a presidential proclamation declaring May as Asian American and Pacific Island Month. According to Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo, as the community celebrates the rich diversity of cultures from across Asia and the Pacific, the Chamorro people continue to have a long and proud history on Guam along with cultures of our Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Japanese and Pacific Island friends and neighbors.

Bordallo encourages us to reflect on the many contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to our community and nation.
