Michael Guamataotao Resident of Hagatna for 30 years “It’s my home. I was born and raised here. It’s the capital of Guam. We have all the branches of government and different businesses. You never have to leave the village. Having lived here for about 30 years, I’ve seen it change from what it used to be until now.”
