After his dream of a military ca- reer as an officer ended, Guam native Johnny Cepeda Gogo’s turned to Plan B — law school. Now he’s a Superior Court judge in California.
Pulitzer-winning multimedia journalist Manny Crisosto- mo chronicles Gogo’s journey in his ongoing visual documentary “Manaotao Sanlagu: CHamorus from the Marianas,” translated as “our people, the CHamorus, over- seas.”

Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, Manny Crisostomo, has undertaken a new visual documentary: “Manaotao Sanlagu: CHamorus from the Marianas” — translated as “our people, the CHamorus, overseas.” The project, which is ongoing, will appear weekly in the PDN’s Lifestyle section. Through this photojournalism feature, Crisostomo has been connecting with other CHamorus who have been living away from home — and in the process, his longing for Guam has been transformed into a sense of belonging within a larger island community.
