Saipan Mayor Juan B. Tudela delivers his address. He stated, " I salute the members of the Inetnon Ã…mot Natibu/Ammwelil Safeyal Faluwasch for their strong believe in our native medicine and also, I recognize their effort to secure the ANA Grant to make all these things possible today." He said that "...centuries ago, our ancestors handed down a most valuable gift of knowledge. That gift of knowledge is the art to cure by natural healing or what we commonly refer to as traditional medicine..." He added, " I strongly urge all traditional healers to pass your knowledge on to your children and grandchildren. What will happen when all of you are gone? Support and preserve the art of traditional and natural healing. Start planting medicinal plants around your backyard for now and in the future."
