Pohai Nani celebrates many centennials each year, but its Sept. 12 party was a special salute to an entire ethnic group. Helping to honor the 100th anniversary of the Sakadas’ arrival in Hawaii were the retirement facility’s very imaginative and energetic staff. They know how to dress up and share a good time — plus the culture, the entertainment and a traditional feast of our Filipino community. “This was one of the best evenings we have had here,” said A.T. Miller, president of the residents’ group. “It was just wonderful to see the kids up on stage performing and enjoying themselves.” The care home operators also presented a “hysterical” skit about the Philippines’ famous Jeepney (a decorated, technicolor minibus).
