It doesn't matter whether the individual AVMP will end up receiving $10,000 or $20,000 per head, "it's all theirs and it's all for them and them only". By the ethics of humanitarianism and human rights under World Red Cross and World Vision, together with the UN Central Emergency Response Fund, all funds must be belonged to the AVMP, except for related and necessary expenses occurring in the process of distribution. - Siosiua Tofua‘ipangai

Princess Ashika left in agony
Near and far, never in the history
Puatalefusi waited like a dream

Worthless Seaworthy, tales of my destiny
Let it be
Let it sail on the deep blue sea - Piliniuote Tu‘ipulotu Fifita

Is it possible that the ship's disaster was due to the century-old mystery of "rogue waves?" For centuries sailors and scientists have not figured out how to predict rogue waves, and how to prepare for them. It is theorized that two collided waves formed a rogue wave with such monstrous force, which few ships could survive encountering a tall wall of water slamming them from any side, and without warning. - Sione A.
