Naʻá ne fakamatala ʻo pehē, “Naʻe fakaʻaongaʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻí ko e taha ʻo ʻEne ngaahi tefitoʻi meʻangāue fakafaiakó.

Naʻe fakafeʻiloaki ʻa ʻEletā Kuki ki he kāingalotú ʻi he ʻosi ʻa e fakatahá.
Ne fononga vaka mo pasi e kāingalotu mo e kau faifekau ʻi Iloilo he Motu ko Paneí he houa ʻe nima ki he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ko ia naʻe akonaki ai ʻa ʻEletā Petinā ʻo kau ki hono fakamālohia ʻenau tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí mo e tokoni ki he niʻihi kehé ke nau haʻu kia Kalaisí.
Naʻe fakamatala fakanounouʻi ʻeni ʻe he faifekau taimi kakato ko Sisitā Menikaili ʻoku ngāue ʻi he Misiona Filipaini Iloiló, “ʻOku fie maʻu ke tau akoʻi e ongoongolelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, ka ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi maʻu pē ko e faiako moʻoní ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.”
Naʻe fakahā ʻe ʻEletā Kuki ki he kakai lalahi kei talavou ʻi Kakaiani ti Oló, “ʻOku fie maʻu ʻa hoʻomou angamāʻoniʻoní, pea ʻoku fie maʻu ke toe mālohi ange ʻa e puleʻangá ni. ʻE ʻi ai e meʻa ʻe hoko ko e tupu mei he mālohi ʻo e Siasí ʻi Filipainí ʻa ia te ne faitāpuekina e kakai kotoa ʻo ʻĒsiá.”
Naʻá ne poupouʻi e kāingalotú ke nau tokanga taha ki he meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga tahá, ikunaʻi ʻa e fakataʻetaʻetuí, ngāue ʻaki ʻa e tuí, pea mali ʻi he temipalé.
Naʻe pehē ʻe Kālo V. Kulisanito ko e palesiteni ʻo e Siteiki ʻIlikani Filipainí, “Naʻe mahuʻinga [lahi] ʻa e taimi totonu hono akoʻi ʻo e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoní mo e ngaahi fakakaukau fakafolofola naʻa nau vahevahé.

Naʻe fakamulituku ʻaki e ʻaʻahi ʻa e kau ʻAposetoló ki Filipainí ʻenau fakataha mo ha ongo fakafofonga Filipaini ki he Sēnatú mo ʻenau kau atu ki ha polokalama fakafonua naʻe fakahoko ʻe he toʻu tupu ʻo e fonuá.
Naʻe ʻaʻahi ʻa ʻEletā Tēvita A. Petinā mo ʻEletā Kuenitini L. Kuki ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Ua ki he ngaahi kolo ʻi Filipainí ʻi ha ʻaho ʻe 10 ʻi ʻAokosi mo Sepitema ke feʻiloaki mo e kau takí, kāingalotú, mo e kau faifekaú.
