My issues is land ownership: I have been trying to apply for land on Saipan. I was born in the Navy Hill Hospital back in 1960 on Saipan and grew up in Garapan. My parents were Rosa Quidachay Arriola and Jose Fausto Arriola. All these years, I\u2019ve been applying for land and I got turned down due to my resident status. I was told that I can\u2019t apply for land since I\u2019m not residing on the island. According to our former House representative, that person who turned down my applications and informed me that I can\u2019t own any land has given me false information and has lied and cheated me out of what I deserve as a bona fide resident of Saipan. <\/p>\n
I\u2019m speaking for all Saipanese that has left the islands due to job relocations, we should be able to own a piece of land even if we\u2019re not residents. The government is discriminating against us.<\/p>\n
