An All-Star Extravaganza for Mufi Hannemann

The month of July started off with a bang last Thursday night, as a throng of enthusiastic supporters descended on the Maui Tropical Plantation for Mufi Hannemann's All-Star Extravaganza. From 6:30 - 8:30 p.m., hundreds of Maui residents enjoyed the music of Martin Nievera and Pops Fernandez as well as the comedy showcase of Augie T. 

The event was standing room only, and was quickly followed up with a second performance at Farrington High School on Oahu.Mufi Hannemann has long been a supporter of Hawaii's Filipino community, and has worked hard to maintain strong ties between Hawaii and the Philippines. In 2009, the United Filipino Council of Hawaii bestowed Hannemann with the Ating Kaibigan award, which means “our Filipino friend.”  It is the most prestigious award granted to a non-Filipino for contributions to the community."  Out of the three anticipated candidates for governor, Hannemann is the only one who has visited the Philippines,” said Theresia McMurdo, member of the Hannemann Committee. “He has made five trips there and is endeared by Filipinos, both at home and abroad.”
