                       HON. MADELEINE Z. BORDALLO

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 14, 2011

  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Albert Wu 
for his years of outstanding business leadership and community 
involvement on Guam. Mr. Wu is the Executive Partner of FADA Investment 
LLC, a small business that owns and manages numerous real estate 
properties on Guam. He was recently named the 2011 U.S. Small Business 
Administration's Minority Small Business Champion of the Year for Guam.
  Albert Wu was born in Taipei, Taiwan to Chuck C. Wu and Shiu Fong Wu. 
He and his family moved to Guam in 1972--when he was just 11 years old. 
After completing his secondary education in the Guam public school 
system, Mr. Wu went on to attend California State University in Los 
Angeles; he graduated in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science degree in 
Civil Engineering. After graduation, Mr. Wu worked for several 
California businesses, but he returned to Guam to assist with his 
family's business, Sunny Wholesalers. In 1991, Mr. Wu married Shana Wu, 
and they have three children: Stephanie, Alexander, and Sophia.
  In the early 1990s, Mr. Wu founded AAA Cellular, which later became 
HafaTel GSM Telephone, a wireless communications company on Guam. 
HafaTel provided affordable telecommunication rates to over 15,000 
subscribers and revolutionized Guam's wireless communications industry 
as the first provider of GSM and SMS texting services on the island. 
Mr. Wu helped to serve minority groups on Guam by providing multi-
lingual services and offering affordable fees for clients to 
communicate with family and friends off-island. In 2007, Mr. Wu sold 
HafaTel and founded FADA Investment LLC, a real estate property 
management firm.
  Mr. Wu is an active member of our island community. He has been 
involved in several charitable and civic organizations, including the 
Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese School Foundation, and the 
Make-a-Wish Foundation. Through his involvement in these organizations 
he has helped to improve our island community.
  I congratulate Alfred Wu on being named the 2011 U.S. Small Business 
Administration's Minority Small Business Champion of the Year for Guam. 
I join the people of Guam in commending him for his award and thanking 
him for his contributions to our community.
