Aloha nō. Ua make ihola ʻo Vince Manuwai i ka Lāpule nei. He 38 wale nō ona makahiki. ʻO Manuwai kekahi o nā mea pāʻani laina kūlele ʻoi ma ka moʻolelo o ke Kulanui o Hawaiʻi. E neʻe ana ʻo ia i ke keʻena noho hou ma Kakaʻako, a i ke kakahiaka o ka Lāpule nei, i kona manawa e hoʻohikihiki ana i kāna mau mea i loko o ke keʻena noho, maʻule ihola ʻo ia. Lawe ʻia akula ʻo ia i ka Haukapila ʻo Straub, a ma laila ʻo ia kahi i hala ai i ke ao polohiwa a Kāne. I kēlā makahiki aku nei, ua nānā ʻia ʻo ia e ke kauka a loaʻa ke ʻano o ka maʻi puʻuwai, akā, ʻaʻole maopopo inā ʻo ia kona kumu i maʻule ai. Ua puka ʻo Manuwai mai ke Kula Kiʻekiʻe ʻo Farinatona i ka makahiki 1999, a lilo ihola i kūkahi no nā Koa Ānuenue o Hawaiʻi. A ma hope mai o kēlā, pāʻani ihola ʻo ia no nā Iākua o Iākonawila no nā makahiki he ʻewalu.

E hoʻi ka waʻa; mai hoʻopaʻa aku i ka ʻino.
