  Mr. SAN NICOLAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
Filipino Ladies Association of Guam (FLAG) as they celebrate their 60th 
Anniversary. I extend my sincere congratulations for their decades of 
achievements and commend them for their steadfast commitment to the 
People of Guam.
  Founded in 1962, FLAG aims to positively impact both the lives of its 
members and our larger island community. With a mission to foster unity 
and connection, FLAG has created opportunities for both its members and 
groups outside their organization to come together to cultivate a 
thriving Guam. In addition to spreading the richness of Filipino 
culture and strengthening relationships with the Philippines and other 
countries, the women of FLAG have dedicated their invaluable time, 
efforts, and finances to increasing the availability of resources to 
our community. From supporting the construction of iconic physical 
landmarks

such as the Ypao Beach Sampaguita Pavillion, Two Lovers Point, and the 
Santa Maria Kamalen Statue in Malesso', to donating much-needed medical 
equipment to the Guam Memorial Hospital, FLAG has made conscious 
efforts to elevate our quality of life. Moreover, the organization has 
focused on improving lives at the individual level with annual 
scholarships provided at the University of Guam.
  Madam Speaker, I express my deepest gratitude to the Filipino Ladies 
Association of Guam for the outstanding work they have accomplished for 
our people, and their selfless resolve to contribute to a better 
tomorrow. Once again, I would like to congratulate them for over six 
decades of meaningful service, and may the future ahead bring continued 
success to both their organization and our beloved island.
