PHILIPSBURG:---Member of Parliament Christophe Emmanuel was called "our hero" on Wednesday by the owners of the Passangrahan Royal Guest House for his public support for the property, a national monument.
The auction of the property was scheduled to take place on Thursday but was canceled after owners obtained backing from a financial guarantee bond for up to $8mln from Stockton Fuller & Company to see the landmark renovation through its next three years.
Emmanuel came out to the defense of the national monument by raising awareness and stating it would be a "crying shame" if it is allowed to be auctioned. He was very happy to learn that the monument was saved.
