  Ms. BORDALLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and service 
of Vicente Ignacio Aguon, the former Mayor of the village of Chalan 
Pago-Ordot, Guam. Vicente was born on July 6, 1939, to the late Jose 
Manglona Aguon and Emperatriz Cruz Ignacio Aguon. He married Pacita 
Baza Aguon and had seven children. Vicente passed away on January 21, 
2013, at the age of 73.
  Vicente attended Chalan Pago Elementary and graduated from George 
Washington Senior High School. He then went on to graduate from the 
National Technical School in Inglewood, California and the Harcourt 
Learning Direct in Hotel Management. Additionally Vicente studied 
Electrical Engineering at Guam Community College and he completed 
seminars from Chicago Technical College in Building Construction.
  Vicente was a dedicated public servant. From 1965-1985 he worked for 
the Guam Department of Public Works as an Electrical and Refrigeration 
Technician, Construction Inspector, Construction Inspector supervisor, 
construction Project Manager, and Acting Engineer. In 1986, he moved to 
the Guam Legislature and was a Legislative Consultant for the

18th and 19th Guam Legislature under the Rules Committee. He also 
served as the manager of the Tumon Village Complex from 1991-1995.
  In 2000, Vicente was elected Mayor of Chalan Pago-Ordot. He paid 
particular attention to the wellbeing of the people of Chalan Pago-
Ordot by voicing their concerns. When Vicente was not serving the 
people of Chalan Pago-Ordot he volunteered his free time as a Parish 
Council Member of Our Lady of Peace and Safe Journey Catholic Church. 
He also volunteered as Assistant State Commissioner for Guam Babe Ruth 
Baseball, and he was a Municipal Planning Council Member at the Chalan 
Pago-Ordot Community.
  Vicente will be missed by all who knew and loved him. I extend my 
condolences to his wife Pacita Baza Aguon, his family and loved ones, 
including his children, Peter, Frances, Vicente, Raymond, Anthony, 
Josephine, and Beatrice.
