Koe Kakala ia ‘o e Tonga
To be Tongan is to carry: faka’apa’apa (reciprocal respect), lototō (humility), mamahi’i me’a (a sense of loyalty, passion tied to responsibility) and tauhi vā (valuing relationships and in so doing maintaining them).
These are bound by ‘ofa (love) within the context of kainga (extended family), without ‘ofa all else falls.
