Biography Ungacta was born on Guam on November 8, 1937 to Felix U. Ungacta and Engarcia Flores Ungacta. He spent twenty-five years in elected office in Hagåtña. During his early tenure during the 1980s and early 1990s, Agana saw an economic resurgence with the construction of several major new developments, including the Sagan Dinana and Chamorro Village (Ysengsong Chamorro), as well as the renovation of Paseo Stadium.
