A’o le’i pale le afioga iā Sapa’u i le tofi o le Itumālō, sa iloga lana tautua i le Matāgaluega o Leoleo ma Falepuipui. O fa’amaumauga a le tatou Mālō sa amata le tautua a Sapa’u i le Matāgaluega o Leoleo i le 1953 se’ia o’o mai i le 1987. O lona uiga e 34 tausaga o tautua Sapa’u o se tasi o Malu o le Mālō.

O le 1988 na ulua’i ulufale ai Sapa’u i le Palemene o le Sui Faipule o le Itumālō Fa’a-alalafaga o Sagaga-Le-Falefā i le Paeā’iga Lona X.

Na ulua’i filifilia o ia o se Sui Usufono o le Palemene o le tatou atunu’u, i le A*o 22 Mati, 1988, ma fa’atautōina ai i le A*o 7 Aperila, 1988. Sa filifilia fo’i o ia e avea ma Sui Usufono o le Komiti a le Palemene e nafa ma le iloiloina o Tulafono Tau Fa’aofi i lea Paeā’iga.

O le A*o 20 Iuni 1998, na ulua’i saunoa ai i lana saunoaga mua po’o lana saunoaga fa’a-Taupou, i totonu o le Maota Fono o Samoa. O le Tauaofiaga tonu lea, o Saunoaga Fa’alaua’itele a Sui Usufono Mamalu uma o le Maota, i le Tala Fa’atatau o Tupe.

A to manatu i lana Saunoaga Mua po’o lana Saunoaga Fa’a-Taupou i totonu o le Palemene i le A*o 20 Iuni, 1988, e tusa o Fa’amaumauga o Felafolafoā’iga, e atagia manino mai ai le tōfā fa’aToeaina [tulou].

O le ā ou ‘oto’otoina lona finagalo i lana Saunoaga Fa’a-Taupou, na’o se vaega pito i sili ona tāua, e fia molimau ai.

E ui i le tele o matā’upu tāua mo lona Itumālō sa fa’atauanau ai i le Malo i lenā Paeā’iga, ae o le ‘au’au o lona finagalo, “ia fealofani le Palemene” E ui ina ‘ese’ese Vaega Fa’a’upufai i totonu o le Palemene, ae e tatau lava ona galulue fa’atasi. E lē mafai ona maua se manuia o Samoa, vaganā ua maua le tausiga o le va fealoaloa’i.

O lona lea finagalo. O lana lea mau tau’ave. Ae o le ‘auga fo’i lea o ‘aute e fa’avae ai lagona ma finagalo i totonu o ‘Upufai o lo tatou Atunu’u e ala i le Palemene. Talofa i lana tu’uālalo, o lea lava e o’o mai i lenei vaitau, o lo’o taumafai pea lenei fa’afitauli.

A’o ‘upu tu’u ia e tausi ai le manuia o Samoa ma ona tagata. O le sao tāua lea o le Afioga iā Sapa’u i tupulaga o soloa’i mai o le atunu’u. O sana fa’amanatu tāua fo’i lea o lo’o lagona pea mo lenei fo’i Paeā’iga i le Palemene.

O saunoaga fa’a-Toeaina, O saunoaga fa’a-Tamā. O alofa molipō mo lona atunu’u. E iloa i lana gagana, o ia o se Sui Usufono e moni le alofa i ona tagata. E iloga ala o i’a tetele i le moana, e iloga ala i tiaseu o ali’i, auā o tautai matapalapala e fa’aa’e le tai, āea le tuasivi, auā le tapuā’iga a le taliuta.

O le tausaga e 2023 na a’e ai le fa’atōfālā’iga i le tatou Mālō e tau’ā’ao atu i le afioga iā Sapa’u le Fa’ailoga Tauāloa a le tatou Mālō: le Ofisa o le Poloā’iga a Samoa [Officer of the Order of Samoa] e amanaia ai le tautua tuāvae, tautua afu a le afioga iā Sapa’u i le Mālō ma le atunu’u. Ma o ia o se Sui aupito i matua lona soifua ina ua fa’ae’eina atu i ai lea fa’ailoga tauāloa a le Mālō.

O le soifua tautua o le afioga i le Alo o le Malietoa ua moni ai le auega a le Tupu o Tavita ina ua maua le tala ua tu’umālō le Tupu, “Talofa, ua māliliu toa, ua ma’imau ai ‘aupega o le taua”.

Lau Afioga Sapa’u ma le pa’ia o ‘Āiga e fia ma le Afio’aga, talofa, ua o tatou feiloa’i, ua lē o taeao e masani ai Samoa, ae ona o le Atua ma Lona Finagalo fai to’atasi.

O le a ea sa matou gagana?
Ua fa’amālō tautua Mālō ma ua fa’afetai tautua Palemene. O lou lea sao tāua mo le atunu’u ma lana tapuā’iga. A’o se Vi’iga Sili lea o le Atua, auā sa na fa’au’u iā te oe, a’o e punoua’i ma fai tonu lelei e ala i ’upufai o le Palemene.
Le auauna lelei e, ma le fa’amaoni, ulufale atu ia i le fiafia o lou Ali’i
Mapu atu ia oe i ‘ā’ao o lou Atua.

E ui ina mou lou tino, ae manatua pea galuega lelei uma, sa e faia mo Samoa.

E fia fa’aleo ai fo’i se fa’afetai a le tatou Mālō ma le Palemene, i le Faletua, e ui ina ua fai i lagi le folauga, le Nofo-ā-alo, o ‘Āiga e fia ma le Itumālō, ona o la outou tatalo ma le tapuā’iga, na manuia ai faiva o Sapa’u Lolesio Vitale ma le Palemene.

O loto ua nuti-momoia ma finagalo fa’avauvau, ona o le tu’umālō o lana auauna, ua na’o le Atua o i ai le fa’amafanafanaga sili.

Tau ia ina pa’ū se Toa, ae tula’i se Toa. Alofagia e le Atua, ia tafimala lana faigāmalaga, ma ia maua sona nofoaga i le Ola e Fa’avavau

Manuia lau Susuga i le Ta’ita’i o le Sauniga ma le Aufaigaluega o le Talalelei, Manuia lenei Fa’apotopotoga.

Ona o Iesu, AMENE.

Savai’i is about to feel a whole lot closer. Starting on Thursday 8 October 2026, Samoa Airways will restore scheduled flights between Fagali’i and Maota, putting Savai’i just 15 minutes away by air.

The return of the service follows a decision by the Samoa Airways Board of Directors at its meeting on Tuesday, 15 September 2026 approving the recommencement of scheduled flights to and from Maota from Fagali’i, ahead of White Sunday.

Flights will operate every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with two flights each operating day, one in the morning and one in the late afternoon giving passengers greater flexibility to travel between Upolu and Savai’i and with a special fare of just $200 one-way or $400 return, inclusive of taxes, travelling between the islands has never felt more within reach.

“Savai’i is just 15 minutes away,” said Samoa Airways Chief Executive Officer Fauo’o Taua Fatu Tielu.

“We are delighted to bring back this service and make travel between Upolu and Savai'i faster, easier and more convenient for our people.”

“With White Sunday approaching, we know how important it is for families and to travel and reconnect and restoring this service, we are giving passengers another option and making that journey just that little bit easier.”

Passengers can book directly through the Samoa Airways website at samoaairways.com, at the Samoa Airways Main Office in Apia at the Fetūoao Methodist Building, at Fagali’i Airport, or through Island Edge Travel in Savai'i on +685 752 7022 for passengers in Savai’i. Passengers can book flights online as of Thursday this week.

Passengers are reminded that photo identification is required when booking and when checking in, and valid photo ID must be presented prior to departure at both Fagali’i and Maota.

With the return of scheduled air services, Savai’i is closer than ever.
Fifteen minutes and you’re there!

The first day of the United Nations General Debate opened with a powerful message from U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, urging nations to strengthen multilateral cooperation, advance peace, address climate change, responsibly govern emerging technologies, and reform global institutions to better reflect the realities of today's world. He emphasized that the future depends on collective action and a renewed commitment to human dignity, inclusion, and sustainable development.

For Samoa, these messages strongly align with our national priorities and our advocacy on behalf of Small Island Developing States. At the heart of sustainable development is investment in people, particularly our children and young people, who represent the future of our nation and our region.

As Samoa engages in this year's United Nations General Assembly, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening human development through quality education, accessible healthcare, child protection, youth empowerment, and safe and inclusive communities.

Protecting the wellbeing, rights, and potential of every child and young person is essential to building resilient societies and achieving sustainable prosperity.

In a rapidly changing world, we must ensure that technological advancement, economic growth, and climate action translate into better opportunities for future generations. No child should be left behind, and every young person should be empowered to reach their full potential.
