Ko au Filipo
This website is all my fault! Malo, I'm Filipo, my famili are from Ma'ufanga, Lapaha and Mu'a in Tonga. I was raised in Southland NZ, and now live in Wellington. I've had a career as a journalist, economist and policy analyst. Nowadays, disability has forced me into early retirement, so this website is my retirement project1
Pacific Economic News and Analysis
Over the past 15 years I've been a commentator on economics, public policy issues and other issues that impact Pacific families. Today I keep that analysis going in my retirement, and I'll post what I analyse here. (and if you remember my reports, thanks for listening!)
