Only on Guam: Where to Go For the Best Food on the Island

What Should Guam’s Voters Demand? Part 1

As Guam heads toward another election cycle, My Jungle Voices kicks off a two-part conversation focused not on campaign promises — but on voter expectations. In Part 1, hosts Rindraty Limtiaco, Steve Limtiaco, and Therese Padua Howe break down the core issues candidates must be ready to address: a struggling tourism economy, the need for real economic diversification, rising costs of living, minimum wage, healthcare, and Guam’s unresolved political status. This episode challenges candidates to move beyond rhetoric and lays out the tough questions voters should be asking now — before the campaign season is in full swing. Part 1 sets the foundation for deeper accountability and more informed decision-making at the ballot box.

Holiday Traditions From Home: A Guam Christmas Story

Every island family has its own December story. In this holiday episode, the My Jungle Voices crew — Rindraty, Steve, and Therese — revisit the Christmas traditions that shaped their childhoods on Guam. From Skinner Plaza lights and Santa on the fire truck to novenas, village carolers, and midnight Mass, we explore how these rituals live on even after leaving home. We also talk about what doesn’t translate to life off-island, the ways communities continue to give during the season, and why Guam’s version of Christmas stays with us no matter where we land. A warm, nostalgic, and funny look at the holidays through an island lens.

Family, Island-Style: The People Who Make Us Who We Are

What does family really mean when you grow up in a small island community? In this episode of My Jungle Voices, Rindraty, Steve, and Therese share personal stories about extended family life on Guam, the expectations passed down from our parents and elders, and how our idea of family changes when we move away. We talk about cousins who feel like siblings, aunties who raise the village, and the friends who become family through shared food, gatherings, and upbringing. Whether you’re living oceans away or still rooted on island, this conversation is a reminder that family is both the one you’re born into and the one you build.

Healthcare on Guam: The Problems We Can’t Afford to Ignore

On Guam, getting the care you need isn’t always as simple as making an appointment. With one main hospital, a limited number of specialists, and frequent off-island referrals, healthcare here is often a test of patience — and privilege. In this episode, Rindraty Limtiaco, Therese Padua-Howe, and Steve Limtiaco talk about the realities of seeking care on an island that’s part of the United States, but often treated like it’s not. From heart surgeries in Hawaii to local clinics stretched thin, they share personal stories that reflect a larger truth about what it means to live far from the center of care. This is part one of a two-part series. Next time, the conversation turns to what can be done — and what hope there is for something better. 🎧 My Jungle Voices explores life on Guam and the Pacific through the stories we tell and the choices we face.

Only on Guam: Where to Go For the Best Food on the Island

From drive-thru breakfasts to fiesta plate lunches, Guam’s love for food on the go says a lot about how we live — and how we connect. In this episode of My Jungle Voices, we talk about the places that fed us between deadlines, road trips, and late nights — from Mobil fried chicken to those unforgettable red rice meals packed by family. It’s part nostalgia, part confession, and all appetite. We swap memories of old favorites, debate the island’s best takeout, and explore what “fast food” really means when you grow up on Guam.
