China is making a lot of moves in the Pacific Islands. In recent weeks, the news outlets in the Pacific and the west have reported on Chinese missions to the Pacific Islands. Recently, a question was asked on Quora about this subject, and this is my reply.

Hey Podcast, I attended the 33rd FSM Independence Day celebrations here in Pohnpei and listened to some great speeches. Our President, Vice Speaker, First Speaker and a youth representative gave us inspiring words from today, yesterday and tomorrow. Enjoy and thanks for listening.

Hey Podcast, today is the 33rd anniversary of our FSM becoming a country. We are a sovereign country, in a compact of free association with another sovereign country. All this, because We, the People decided.

Hey Podcast, we test a new Mic and discuss what's going on across our beautiful Micronesia from the latest on the Yap murder investigation to our FSM Independence day. Little short today, but sharing nonetheless. Thanks for listening.

Hey Podcast, the FSM President, David W. Panuelo has been leading our country for over 100 days now. How is he doing? From the perspective of information, I think he's doing great.

We hope to see more information and transparency from the Office of the President in the years to come.

We offer our deepest condolences to her family. We also talk a look at "The Edge of Paradise" by P.F. Kluge again.

Hey Podcast, a recent letter to the editor on the Guam Daily Post got me thinking about our election and political process here in Micronesia, the FSM. Why do you vote? Do you vote? How do decide who to vote for?? Me and June from the Micronesian News Broadcast talk about this issue and we hope you ask the same questions come elections. By the way, here is the article from the Guam Daily Post: https://www.postguam.com/forum/letter_to_the_editor/letter-to-the-editor-at-the-end-of-the-day/article_6eb32076-df54-11e9-b159-1fa75c119667.html

Hey Podcast, a little background on our Liberation Day holiday here in Pohnpei. My special guest is my daughter and high school student, Alana.

Recently the US Secretary of State came to Micronesia. He met with the leaders of FSM, RMI and Palau. He brought great news about renegotiations of our compact of free association with the USA. It is great news. Over in Guam, our neighbors and a US colony, the news was not so great. We talk about that and what this visit means to Micronesians.

The US Secretary of Veterans Affairs was recently in Pohnpei FSM to talk to our Veterans. Not much was passed, but we had a bitch session and that counts for something. https://twitter.com/FSMPIO/status/1155395628664414208?s=19.

Hey Podcast, sharing news from across Micronesia. Talked about our Independence day, news from the FSM President, a Marshallese MIT fellow and all that stuff in Guam, again. Thanks for listening.

Hey podcast, wanted to share a message that our FSM President shared with his people. This is awesome, why? Because our President is talking to us and explaining his decisions... That's good 👍, that's change👍

Two stories today that are amazing. First, a marijuana bill? Not sure if this valid, but we're asking and wondering. Second, a Facebook post that went beyond Facebook and how that is just crazy, in our opinion.

Hey Podcast listeners, sharing my take on an article that hits below the belt, in my opinion and doesn't offer any value. Plus,the special elections for the 4 year at large seats to the FSM Congress in Pohnpei and Kosrae are underway. Listen to find out who your candidates are. Here is the link to the article in question: http://www.hawaiifreepress.com/ArticlesMain/tabid/56/ID/23635/Lyon-Corruption-Will-Peter-Christian-Run-or-Turn-Himself-In.aspx?fbclid=IwAR3rpi5hFjXuUkiW9NCa38PUB5kqJBzWPUW49aZeK58qGdiS8IVoTcqIxnE Thanks for stopping by and visit us also on the Micronesian News Broadcast: https://youtu.be/JGlNnFeYhqI

Hey there Micronesian Podcast listeners, we continue on today from the previous podcast. The three Presidents of FSM, RMI and Palau met with President Trump. A joint statement was issued, now what? That is the question... Now what? We have all the "unprecedented focus" on us and what will be the plan to benefit our country? Be sure to check out our video broadcast, The Micronesian News Broadcast where the discussion continues: https://youtu.be/JGlNnFeYhqI

Hey Micronesian Podcast listeners! Thanks for joining. We are continuing our mission to share news, updates and the good and bad from our beautiful islands. Today we talk about the upcoming meeting of our Presidents with the Orange one of USA,. Donald Trump. Interesting...

Today, we are talking to Serjeel, who is the Imam of the local Islam community.   I mentioned this in our last podcast.  There has been a lot of discussion on the FSM and Micro Forums on Facebook.  We talk about that. He shares a little about Islam today and we look forward to more from him in future podcasts.  

We're going to have the Imam from the local Muslim community on the next podcast, so stay tuned. Plus, a little reminder that our next President is coming soon... Like next week!

Kaselehlie, we talk about Veterans healthcare, the first Robo challenge in Pohnpei and how we are liking all the different views and opinions we are reading on social media 😁👍.

Hey everyone, been a while. Today, me and June talk about the recent successful F4 festival, drug trafficking in Micronesia and our take on Muslims and Islam in Micronesia.

What an amazing month we have had. The elections have been at the front of news, thoughts and frustrations. Now a recount is being talked about. Interesting to see this unfold. We'll keep watching and sharing.

We talk about the Congressional forum held today for Pohnpei candidates to the FSM Congress.

The big news here in Pohnpei this week was the weather. We had some strong winds and rain. Fortunately no one was hurt. But we hope that those who are in the path of the storm are safe. Plus some nice observations on the aftermath. See you later.

We continue on Politics in Micronesia. A Congressional candidate has been charged with human trafficking and so close to elections. Coincidence?

A message from a friend sparked my interest to do a podcast on conspiracies in Micronesia. This is the first for now. Wil follow up with more intrigue on Micronesia.

On this episode I speak with a recent ASVAB test taker and I offer my views on the ASVAB and military service.

On this episode, I'm happy to share the audio version of the Micronesian News broadcast. This is from their 2Feb episode. You can watch them on Facebook or YouTube, or hear the audio version here.

Two great events or opportunities coming to Pohnpei in February for our young people. It's great to have options and knowledge to make decisions. This is what our young ones need.

Are there any updates in the bribery story? Plus, we talk about the homeless and assimilation challenges for Micronesians abroad.

Over in Yap, the new executive leadership shows who they are and someone spills the pig feed on Micro Forum about the Micronesian officials involved in the Lyon bribery case.

Lots going in Micronesia, talking about the FSM on this episode. A bribery scandal has surfaced and the Chinese built Chuuk administration buildings are done.

Sharing a story out of Guam about a widow being scammed. This is another case in Guam that needs to be followed.

Elections are fast approaching. Some state elections have already concluded. 2019 looks like a year of change. Listen as me and my co-hosts talk about this important time in Micronesia 🇫🇲.

Great response over in the Marshall Islands to a possible disaster and where are the autopsy results for a Chuukese detainee in Guam?

Great episode today! We have a special guest and old friend, Mike Pangelinan from Pohnpei, talk about a growing and inspiring Islander sports community in the USA and the upcoming Tournament of Champions in March 2019.

Thanks for joining me for the first Podcast of 2019. I am happy and grateful to share some news and give my take on some of the issues in Micronesia as a Micronesian.

Join me and June fron the Micronesian News Broadcast as we talk about some of the top stories of 2018. What a year it has been. Looking forward to a great 2019. Happy New Year everyone!

One of the reasons that this year's tuna commission meeting was a success was the clear and strong stance by the Pacific island nations. PNA took a strong stand and so did FFA against distant water fishing nations. Good on us.

Tuna Commission meeting is almost over in Hawaii, a visit to Chuuk by Indo-Pacom commander and what is our strategy to deal with all this increased Pacific engagement?

Thanks for joining me as we look at stories that are impacting our beautiful Micronesia. The secession saga, US proposal to increase tuna limits, RMI energy future and my take.

Thanks for joining me on Episode 69. On this episode we discuss our Tuna resource and those who watch over it, an innovative finance scheme for the outer islands of Yap and my take on a road rage case in Guam.

FSM Congressional Forum yields 4 of 10 candidates, the real I'd act is modified unanimously by the US Senate, remaining funds from MicroGames to be reappropriated plus my take on the collaboration of our 3 Ambassadors in the USA.

It's the busiest time of the year. Activities everywhere. Work, family, friends, school all have some sort of activity. Isn't that just the best, though? Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Micronesian Podcast.

On this episode we share the story of no Justice for the family of a man murdered in Guam, the magic of keeping an open mind on upsetting issues and my take on December 7.

An online petition is being circulated in response to an FSM Congress bill, one of our is honored in the USA and my take on customer service 🙏

Join me as I do a tour de horizon of news stories and give take on the seemingly important or popular news items across Micronesia.

Thanks for joining me again . Today, we started with some brief stories from across Micronesia and ended with two stories about our Tuna resources and our important relationship with the USA.

A recent article on the Guam Daily Post about Chuukese values is the subject of this episode. I like the message, timing could have been better but better late than never.

Many people look to the news for many different reasons. Above all, I believe, we want to stay informed. But who is or isn't informing us and why or why not? Listen to my take on this.

A recent article shared by the FSM Public Information Office shows the varying attitudes in Micronesia towards China. No need for that, just be calm and stay updated. Vote. And stay updated👍😀 Did I say, stay updated yet?

Sharing news from across the region. Why not? If you don't like reading, listen up and stay updated. Just stay informed. Talking about Heine, Ridgell, Babauta, chief negotiator and some others.

The list is out and the campaigning has begun. May the the best, and qualified candidate win. The fate of our country, as always, remains with us. We elect those who will lead us into the future. Vote and choose well.

FSM Independence day was on the 3rd of November. Did you know, did you go? It was a great gesture and one that will hopefully grow and grow and grow👍👍🇫🇲🇫🇲

This podcast along with the Micronesian News Broadcast has an operating budget over $33.00 or more per month. If we can put out content weekly, why can't the government? Plus, good on sister Sha from the Sha'Nanigans podcast.

I just wrote an article on my blog, themicronesian.com addressing this very issue. Isn't it about time?

A recent letter to the editor of the Guam Daily Post from Guam Senator Esteves proves to me, at least, the power of social media.

After years of being marginalized in the Guam and Hawaii press, Chuukese are weary of bad press. Understandable. But, this time, we have nothing to worry about. The truth will come out and set us FREE 😀🙏🇫🇲

What an amazing story coming out of Chuuk being called the Miracle in Micronesia all over the world!

With all the hate in Guam and Hawaii against Micronesians, I have to ask why? And ask if you know why? We are All Humans, we have the capacity to love and hate. Choose wisely, please.

It's been 50 episodes! Amazing! Grateful for this technology and this platform. Let's keep connecting and collaborating across OUR Micronesia. We share the ocean in common.

Social media is powerful. People are required to make it powerful. Show your power by being a positive impact and example for others, on social media and in real life.

I wrote a blog about the almost daily portrayal of Micronesians committing crimes in Guam. Is it true? Sure there Micronesian criminals, but there also a lot of Micronesians who don't commit crime... Where are their stories?

On this episode, we have a special guest. Our first 😀. Mr Patrick Maloney is a long time friend of Micronesia, who grew up in Pohnpei and is now writing his dissertation on political relations in Micronesia. We talk about Micronesia and 2023. This is a great one, and there are two more to go!

This podcast is in response to an article in the Pacific Island Times that asked the question, what do Micronesians really want? Here is what these Micronesians want...

Me and the Stoic Islander start off talking about the Chinese influence in the Pacific, and especially here in Micronesia then go off on a slight tangent before calling it a night. Enjoy 😁

The 9th Micronesian Games are over. The first ever live streaming happened for the most part. Listen to our wishes for the next games as we talk about the airline monopoly in Micronesia.

Heard a podcast from Guam about my people's plight in their colony. I enjoyed it very much 👍. We need more of this type of communication and awareness around this sensitive issue. Me and the stoic Islander thank the KUAM podcast network, drop our $0.02 and look forward to another podcast.

The Micronesian News Broadcast airs every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. They share news and updates from across the Micronesian region. Catch them on Facebook and YouTube.

A bill came out last year proposing to remedy the lack of women participants in the FSM congress by creating 2 year seats with no voting powers for women. That didn't go over too well. Now a new bill has been introduced that changes the term to 4 years, allows them to sit and chair committees, but does not allow a vote on the final reading.... 🙃

The 9th Micronesian Games had a lot of issues before they even started. In spite of it all, the games continued and an inspiring story emerged that can serve as an example for all.

Here is the audio version of the Micronesian News Broadcast for all you audio lovers. You can catch their videos on their Facebook page: Micronesian News Broadcast or my YouTube channel, the Micronesian.

The compact of free Association denies FSM citizens the ability to use the postal services provided through the US Postal services for monetary gain. We just found some folks have gotten around the compact.... Listen to what we found out.

A little bit on the Chuuk Secession before I talk about the postal restriction of making money through goods sent from here abroad 😢

The US Ambassador to FSM weighs in on the Chuuk Secession movement and we talk about it.

Here is another episode of the Micronesian News Broadcast, originally airing on Facebook and YouTube. Stay updated Islanders and earn the privilege to live in our God-given islands.

I am happy to share the Micronesian News Broadcast on my podcast. You catch their videos on Facebook, YouTube and IGTV.

Today, we review the book Edge of Paradise. This book was written by a ex-Peace Corps volunteer who had a front seat to the birth of the FSM, RMI, ROP and CNMI.

There not that many famous Micronesians, but here is one that helped to show the legendary skills of our ancestors.

A vessel carrying 139 Filipino workers to support the 9th Micronesian Games in Yap, FSM did not make it to there. Instead, they were boarded and 139 human trafficking cases came out of the situation.

Norman and Alana from the Micronesian News Broadcast stopped by and joined the podcast today.

We are fast approaching the end of US economic assistance... What next? JCRP will review and plan and hopefully inform us.

Last week's vog in Micronesia brought dark skies and dark memories of a connected past.

A follow up from a blog post from www.themicronesian.com on a devil's advocate view to the Chuuk Secession movement.

I was able to conduct two interviews using my smartphone, it came out pretty good. We were able to peek into the lives of public school students, one from Kolonia elementary school and another from PICS High School and hear from them what is school is like in Pohnpei in 2018.

I read an article from the Pacific Daily News about Micronesian leaders of the past. Written by an assistant professor of chamoru studies at the University of Guam, it shows the wisdom of our founding fathers.

As more of our people immigrate to the US and start families, they will get more involved in their new homes. In Guam, a half Chuukese former news anchor has announced he is running for a seat in the Guam legislature. Good luck Clynt Ridgell. Do Micronesia proud.

Being ruled by another country can never be a good thing for those being ruled... Right?!

With the recent news of a casino in the works in Pohnpei, my trip to Guam has more meaning. Has all the development in Guam and Hawaii been beneficial to the locals? What can we learn from them?

The people of Pohnpei have fished and eaten fish for hundreds if not thousands of years. Fish markets may be new but choosing the right fish isn't.

The next phase of our young country's journey into self government and economic sustainment is fast approaching. What will happen in the lead up to and beyond 2023?

The Micronesian Islands Forum and the Forum Economic Ministers Meeting we're in Micronesia last week. Good to see that these events are getting coverage, but we can do better.

Pacific Islanders are the latest arrivals to the Micronesian experience. Some, like Micronesians, were former territories of the US. We are finding our way slowly but surely.

Micronesia continues to support America at the UN.

Today I interviewed a student from FSM's only college. He gave us his perspective on the only College in the country. I gave my two cents too.

The Micronesian spirit of 1996 offered by Guam was a great people to people gesture that should be remembered moving forward.

Every year since 2003 the US Government has allocated $30 million dollars for a legal nonimmigrant group living in the US.
