Governor's Proclamation 2006
Gov. Linda Lingle made Hanama`ulu
Town feel special with her attendance at the second Hanama`ulu Town Celebration on Saturday, July 15, 2006. The celebration
was an event separate from the Hawaii-Filipino Centennial Celebration, but in her message to an audience that included Sakadas
(Filipino contract laborers) and their families, Gov. Lingle made special mention of the contributions of the Filipinos of
Hawaii and Hanama`ulu. She said, "More than the collection of buildings, the real story is the people who made life better
for the next generation."
The flow of attendees under and around the big tent was steady from
morning to night. An estimated 1,000 attended the celebration.

Invited
to the celebration as special guests, recognized with leis, and seated at reserved front row seats, were the Grand Marshals
at the first-ever parade at Hanama`ulu on July 16, 2005. The first day of the first Hanama`ulu Town Celebration on July 16
& 17, 2005, started with a parade through main street, and serving as Grand Marshals were 19 elders of Hanama`ulu. The
youngest was 82-years-old, and the most senior was 97.
In
attendance at the celebration at
Peter Rayno Sr. Park were 16 of
the Grand Marshals, some of whom
are Sakadas: Francisco & Helen
Agader, Henry & Alice Arruda, Greg
& Gayle Bakiano, Dora Cataluna, Ramona
Cruzada, Venancio & Rosenda Madrid, Fujiko Mamura, Maxine Pascual, Luis
& Felicidad Quel, Isabella Madrid
Ramelb, and Salome Sarita.
Unable to attend were Consorcia Estenzo,
Harry Miyake, and Kimiko Sugibayashi.
Also invited as special guests were 1946 sakadas
and their spouses. In attendance were Mr. & Mrs. Irineo Asuncion, Mrs. & Mrs. Marcelo Pedronan, and Mr. & Mrs.
Luciano Yadao. The Madrids and The Quels, who were Grand Marshals, are also 1946 sakadas.
The most senior Grand Marshal Sakada is 98-years-old Francisco Agader, who
came to Hawaii in 1931.
