Inspire, inclusion, transformation. How are these translated in your native tongue and does it hold as much meaning as it does in English?

‘Alu e ‘aho ‘o tali mei mu’a ! I used to think what does that mean ? It’s open to interpretation but it roughly could mean, everything we do today, our actions, the things we say, the relationships we keep, one day they will come back to us.

Come on man, if you're going dub anything Asia Pacific at least get a true representation of the Pacific. The fact that I have to zoom and search for a Pasifika face in a sea of predominantly Asian and YT faces should be your first red flag.

It’s the second time HM the Queen has visited where I work (she’s visited the communities numerous times) and I’m so immensely proud of our staff for pulling thru

We could feel it was much different to years gone past, it was unbearable to endure. What's worse is having two under two babies at home suffer through this - it's heart wrenching. nasa.gov/news-release/n…

It’s the usual Easter weekend here in Tonga. We did not descend into chaos so please stop reporting on Tonga as if we are.

Last week til today has been uncomfortably hot. By this time it should be much cooler. It so happens that the unusual weather coincides with geothermal activity from Tofua. Yesterday ppl saw and captured unusual cloud formations unlike any other. 📸 Manase K Tafea

Kudos to this young lady for holding her own & a stellar performance. Ta nafa is traditionally done by men and it is a grueling job especially during rehearsals. The precision one has to keep up is both physically and mentally demanding but I imagine very rewarding.

Today we are reminded of how our nation is still struggling with events of HTHH. Sirens blared and ppl took to the streets. How can we better coordinate evacuations for the sake of public safety?

Round two of ACIAR Pacific food loss research in Samoa over the past week. Great team work and an opportunity to revise the prelim data collected in two separate seasons. Looking forward to engaging stakeholders in second round.

My colleague asked if I had seen pictures of the white humpback whale calf spotted recently in Vava'u. So as you do, I check FB and there it is. There is something so majestic and serene about whales but this calf is even more beautiful 🥰
