As the year 1999 draws to a close, a new chapter is opening for five employees of the Commonwealth Ports Authority who will be retiring soon.
At a recent retirement party held at the Plumeria Resort, CPA Board Chairman Roman S. Palacios offered his words of gratitude to the group, thanking them for their many years of dedicated service, adding that while he is happy for them, they will truly be missed as members of the CPA family. Board Treasurer Roman T. Tudela echoed his sentiment, joking that it’s about time CPA returned them to their anxiously awaiting families.
After the official speeches and plaque presentations at the Saipan Retirement Party, Port of Saipan Manager Antonio Cabrera presented the outgoing employees with gifts to get the retirees off to a good start.
Outgoing Maintenance Supervisor Jose 0. Camacho received a new putter, to polish up his golf game; Ports Police Assistant Chief (Operations) Ramon P. Agulto got a new aluminum bat to take out on the baseball field; Assistant Rescue Fire Chief (Operations) Mariano A. Mendiola took home a new ball to work on his fade away jumper, and Gardener Jesus Arriola of Landscaping should be able to fine tune his fishing with a new rod and reel.
Also retiring this year is Tinian Ports Manager Silvestre C. Palacios.
Felipe Celis of Airport Operations, Landscaping Supervisor Rodrigo Castro, Ports Police Captain Frank Babauta and Rota Fire Chief Luis M. Manglona retired earlier in 1999.a
