Congratulations Papali'i Togisala Tony Leota for being selected for Young Pacific Leaders 🇼🇸 read more by clicking on original post! 👏🏽❤️

Papali'i was chosen to be part of our Navigating the Digital Landscape Conference in March and was the first time joining 🙌🏾

: Papali'i Togisala Tony Leota 🇼🇸

✨ Papali'i is a Samoan leader, technology advocate, and public servant dedicated to bridging the digital divide and strengthening community across the Pacific. Guided by the Samoan principles of Tautua (service) and "Action over Words," he works at the intersection of public policy, digital infrastructure, and grassroots development.

🔒 Advancing digital security and governance: As a Cabinet-appointed aenior dvisor to the prime minister and minister of Telecommunication, Information and Technology in Samoa, Papali'i advises on national digital governance frameworks, strategic infrastructure expansion, and institutional oversight — including the conceptualization of a national Performance and Monitoring Division under the Office of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, strengthening the digital institutions that keep Samoa's systems secure and accountable.

🌐 Bridging the digital divide: As founder of the E3 Samoa Trust, Papali'i launched the "685 to the Digital World" initiative, deploying hardware, digital literacy toolkits, and connectivity to schools and community hubs across Samoa, including rural Savai'i and Upolu — building the digital infrastructure that protects communities from exclusion and vulnerability.

🎮 Empowering youth innovation: Papali'i spearheaded the inaugural Digital STEM Games, bringing competitive technology and educational opportunities to rural students and cultivating the next generation of digitally literate Pacific leaders.

The U.S.-Pacific partnership grows stronger through leaders like Papali'i, who strengthen digital governance, build infrastructure, and advance a secure, prosperous digital future for the Pacific. 🇺🇸🤝🇼🇸

🎬 Introducing Korero Tupuna, a Manava Studio production created for Pasifika TV’s POP48 2026 Film Challenge.

Korero Tupuna is a story of strength, identity and the powerful legacy carried through the words of those who came before us.

Grounded in our Cook Islands oral tradition, it explores the quiet ways our culture continues to guide us, often when we need it most.

Creating this film in just 48 hours was no small undertaking. It took trust, creativity and a team willing to give their time, energy and talents wholeheartedly.

Meitaki ma’ata to our beautiful cast, Georgina Keenan-Williams, Tiana Taru and Tekeu-Ariki Dashwood, for bringing our story to life with such warmth and heart.

To Team Manava, Kylie Mulipola, Taungaroa Emile, Kubethreana Taripo and Esther Tetava, thank you for the long hours, shared ideas and collective determination that carried us from the first concept through to the final edit.

A special acknowledgement to Kura Happ, Dr. John Jonassen, Samson Squad, Teata Nga and Kubethreana Taripo for the songs and music that inspired and shaped our film.

Meitaki ma’ata also to Tauranga Vananga and the National Auditorium, Emile Kairua, George Nicholas, Ngamata Ahio, William Ahio and Mama Pupūkura Lambert for our locations and production support.

To our Mini Manava team, Koa Bear, Cleo Tetava-Peyroux, Ermias Tetava-Peyroux and Ana-Rangi Taru, and our supporters Albert Taru, Edward Sparks Nga and Bonnie Emile, thank you for being part of this journey.

Finally, meitaki ma’ata to Pasifika TV for creating POP48 and providing a platform for Pacific storytellers to challenge ourselves, collaborate and share our stories through film.

A special word of thanks to Pouarii Tanner and Henry Taripo for continuing to champion filmmaking in the Cook Islands and for giving our local teams the opportunity to share our stories while competing alongside some of the best filmmakers from across the Pacific.

We officially submitted Korero Tupuna on Sunday 6 September 2026. PCBL will release all of the POP48 films, and once they are live, you’ll be able to watch every team’s submission and vote for your favourite.
