  1. Thanks Manu. Never had a glimpse (video) of such, first time. Boy they make such a big promise – and with the Bible on one hand too, that is quite serious.

  2. Very good shots Manu, all pics tell a different story, but I picked out one common one…all three, Somare, Chan & Wingti are Governors…with their man P Oneill in the captain’s seat … will the trio now sit back and steer PNG to a greater progress by developing their provinces first?
