RCPP President Cherith officially introduced the new members to the 4-Way Test in English and Samoan.

The 4-Way Test of the things we think, say, or do:

• Is it the TRUTH?

• Is it FAIR to all concerned?

• Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP?

• Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

O le su’ega Ala-fa o mea tatou te mafaufau i ai, tautala ma faatino:

• O se mea MONI?

• E TONU/LELEI mo tagata uma?

• E faatupu ai se FINAGALO ALOFA ma FAALELEIA AI FAIGAUO?

• E MANUIA ai i latou uma e faasino i ai?
