Papua New Guinea (PNG) Reggae Sensation Anslom Nakikus became the first national artist to be invited to perform at an international prestigious event, the inaugural One Love Festival at Negril, Jamaica on March 15th, 2025, in celebrating the universal language ‘MUSIC’. The festival was themed as ‘One Earth, One Love, One Humanity’ to inspire a safe space for music lovers all around the world to experience the vibrant soul and life of Jamaca Reggae. The fest lead performers include prominent reggae veteran artists like Ken Booth, Bushman and the Step-by-Step band. In a recent interview with PNG HAUSBUNG, Anslom shared his experience after being invited to perform at the inaugural One Love Festival at Negril, the spiritual hub of reggae at Jamaica. “Yahh Man, it gives me the great joy and it’s truly an honor to know that my music has been heard and played on the other side,” he shared with overwhelming joy. “For me as a relative new artist being invited to such a massive event it encourages my artistry and expands my music market, especially since my music follows the mainstream reggae sound, like Bob Marley’s and Lucky Dube.” Inspired by the reggae legend's music style Anslom reflected on the crowd’s reactions during and after his performance. “When I got on stage and started singing everyone went still and suddenly paid attention. As I kept on performing, it was amazing seeing them vibing to my songs” he shared. “And just as I got off stage, most of them came over saying, ‘Man, you sound just like Lucky Dube! And even some asking where Papua New Guinea is.” For a local artist steeping onto the global stage, Anslom carries Papua New Guinea on his shoulder with immense pride. One of the thrilling moments of his performance in Jamaca was when he shouted “Are you ready, Jamaica!? Are you ready for Papua New Guinea!?” was a powerful declaration that marked a high point in his set. “I praise God I am Papua New Guinean. I’m not Tolai not Bougainvillea nor Tari - I am Papua New Guinea. He added, his voice filled with conviction “Because when you’re overseas, that is when you truly realize it.” Before moving on to questions about his album One Love, Anslom opened about the sacrifices he made for this milestone performance. “Every dream requires sacrifice,” he said – and for Anslom, it wasn’t just about the music. To turn this dream into reality, he went as far as selling one of his cars to fund the journey. Anslom's One Love Album released 5 singles out of 12 tracks before the album was named and released on 15th October 2024. The album was named after his first single released on 23rd of August 2024 which he featured Big Mountain where Anslom mentioned the original composer of the ‘One Love” and why this song had the most effect to have the album named after. “So, the song is actually written in New Caledonia language by a reggae legend Eddo who I regard as big bro, he recorded the song and toured with Lucky Dube when lucky was alive.” Inspired by the rhythm of a song, Anslom requested its translation. Upon understanding the lyrics, he was deeply moved by their profound message. He expressed, “I was deeply saddened because I am black,” emphasizing the importance of not succumbing to those who seek to dominate or control us. He advocated for resolving conflicts not with weapons but with love. This revelation led him to release the song titled "One Love," encapsulating the idea that love is the ultimate remedy. Beside the one album Anslom gave advice to younger artist during the end of the interview and said, “Work on your music, make sure it has an effect. Don’t just talk and not do.” Then expressed admiration for local talents like Tarvin Tune and icons such as George Telek, acknowledging their impact on the music scene. Above all, Anslom highlighted the importance of having the right management and, most critically, the power of networking to build lasting success. His words remind us that with passion, focus, and the right connections, anything is possible. Anslom Nakikus’ performance at the inaugural One Love Festival in Jamaica marked a significant milestone in his career, bringing international recognition to Papua New Guinea’s reggae scene. With his album One Love, he shares a powerful message of unity and love, transcending borders and cultures. Through sacrifice and dedication, Anslom’s journey proves that passion, faith, and music can break barriers and inspire change, uniting the world with a timeless message of peace.

Families, couples, and groups of friends gathered at Port Moresby Nature Park over the Easter weekend for a joyful and educational experience during the Easter Family Fun Day held on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th April 2025. With a lively schedule from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, the event combined games, wildlife encounters, and community bonding, making it a standout celebration on the city’s calendar. Although the program was set to start at 9:00 am, but things kicked off closer to 10:00 am as the organizers waited for more families to arrive. Master of Ceremony Michael Evoa, Marketing Officer at the Nature Park, welcomed the crowd and got the event started with a cheerful vibe and a few reminders before diving into the Easter weekend activities. The three-legged race kicked off the excitement that sparked joy among the children. This was followed by a wildlife encounter, where guests met Ella the Cuscus and Foisty the Green Tree Python. Wildlife keepers gave a passionate talk about the importance of protecting these animals, reminding everyone that they are becoming endangered and should not be consumed. Entertainment continued with Musical Chairs, led by media partner Legend FM, where both kids and adults took part. Merlene, Legend FM breakfast radio personality, kept the energy buzzing as participants danced to the beat, hoping not to be left standing when the music stopped. Throughout the park, a dedicated coloring booth allowed kids to get creative with Easter-themed pictures. Park staff explained the coloring competition would be judged, with the winner announced on Easter Monday and awarded a special prize from the Nature Park Café. One of the highlights of the day was the Scavenger Hunt held after lunch. Twelve children were selected to search for hidden Easter eggs and later decorate them. The crowd voted on the best design, and the lucky girl who found the first egg also walked away with the prize for the most attractively painted egg. Adding to the family-friendly atmosphere, children enjoyed bouncing in the inflatable castle, set up and powered by Total Events Company, while music kept the whole area feeling festive. Major sponsor BNG Trading Company played a big role in bringing the event to life. They supported photo booths, booty bags filled with goodies, and free product sampling, including noodles and Lay Biscuits, which kids were especially excited about. Other key sponsors included Legend FM as the official media partner, Paradise Foods, and Labels & Cans Company, who offered in-kind support by setting up and handing out goodies on Saturday, the busiest day of the event. While the program on both days remained the same, Saturday saw more sponsor engagement with booths and setups, while Sunday offered a slightly more relaxed vibe with families simply enjoying the park, the games, and each other. As the day ended, families left with smiles, stories, and stronger connections to nature and each other — exactly what the Nature Park hopes to inspire.

The signing of the writs yesterday afternoon not only launched the Local Level Government (LLG) elections nationwide but also initiated a critical process for the Motu Koita Assembly – a body unique to the National Capital District and representing the traditional landowners of Port Moresby city. Minister for Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs, Soroi Eoe, emphasized the unique structure and significance of the Motu Koita Assembly. This election will see the voting of one president, one deputy president, and 17 ward members, serving as the representative body for the Motu and Koita people. The Minister reaffirmed that this structure ensures landowner inclusion in political processes and urban governance, especially within the National Capital District Commission (NCDC). Minister Eoe stressed the importance of empowering PNG's First People and acknowledged the Assembly as a key vehicle for recognizing and preserving traditional leadership while integrating them into formal government systems. He also reminded all candidates that these positions are now salaried, adding credibility and responsibility to their roles. The Minister thanked outgoing leaders and expressed optimism that the Assembly's evolution will continue to enhance representation and development opportunities for the Motu Koita people. Lastly, he encouraged a fair and peaceful election and invited all eligible community members to participate fully. As polling begins in July, the Motu Koita Assembly election symbolizes more than just political transition, it is a testament to cultural resilience, inclusion, and the progression of traditional governance within the framework of a modern state.

During the official writs signing ceremony held yesterday afternoon, Electoral Commissioner Simon Sinai delivered critical guidelines for the upcoming 2025 Local Level Government (LLG) and Motu Koita Assembly elections. These measures are aimed at maintaining transparency, integrity, and legal compliance throughout the electoral process. Commissioner Sinai announced that all Chairpersons and board members of Statutory Provincial Authorities (SPAs) intending to contest for any positions – whether president or ward member – must first resign from their current roles. "The board members, including chairmen, must resign before they contest. This is to ensure the integrity of the election," Sinai stated. He further clarified that this rule also applies during any upcoming by-elections. He also addressed recent media reports regarding the use of government funds to support election campaigns, cautioning all open members and governors not to make financial commitments on behalf of the government to aid candidates. "Let’s allow the process to take place cleanly, so there are no questions asked later. These matters are also subject to legal scrutiny," Sinai emphasized. Commissioner Sinai underscored the importance of a fair and clean electoral process, encouraging all intending candidates and supporters to uphold the laws and respect the electoral timeline. He thanked all involved stakeholders, including the Department of Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs, for their collaborative efforts in supporting this national event. These firm but fair rules serve as a reminder of the Electoral Commission's commitment to upholding democratic principles, ensuring a level playing field, and protecting the credibility of Papua New Guinea’s electoral system.

Nominations are now open after the Minister for Provincial and Local Level Government (LLG) Affairs, Soroi Eoe, officially signed the writs for the 2025 Local Level Government and Motu Koita Assembly elections. The ceremony held in Port Moresby city, was attended by key government officials, including Electoral Commissioner Simon Sinai and Secretary for the Department of Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs, Mr. Dickson Guina. In his address, Minister Eoe emphasized the importance of this election in reinforcing PNG's third tier of government, empowering grassroots leadership, and ensuring communities are represented by their own. "It is a celebration of democracy at the local level," he said. He extended his appreciation to outgoing presidents and ward members, commending their service and assuring them that their contributions have not gone unnoticed. As a show of appreciation, he highlighted that for the first time, all LLG representatives would be on a government salary, recognizing the role they play in national development. The Minister also called upon provincial governments to fully support the electoral process and urged citizens to participate actively and peacefully in the election. He assured the public that the government remains committed to transparency, fairness, and a smooth transition of leadership across LLGs. The election schedule is as follows: nominations opened on April 24th at 4pm. and closed on May 1st, 2025 While polling is set to commence on July 12th and conclude on August 1st, 2025; the return of writs is expected by August 22nd, 2025. The 2025 LLG elections come at a pivotal time for PNG, reinforcing the nation’s democratic values and strengthening the foundation of inclusive governance from the village level upwards.

For the people of Hanuabada village in Port Moresby city, this isn’t just about a blocked road—it’s about survival, displacement, and unanswered cries for help. Three weeks ago, signs of a slow-moving landslide began to appear in our village. At first, it was just water trickling down the hillside. But with each passing day—and every rainfall—our land began to slip. Cracks widened. The ground shifted. And now, a large section of the road just past the Konedobu Tunnel bypass has completely split. “We couldn’t wait anymore. We had to act.” "Our leaders made the decision to block off the road from the Kouraway roundabout and the roundabout near the tunnel. It wasn’t an easy call, but we did it to protect lives—yours and ours. Vehicles traveling from Kouraway, Baruni, Lealea, and Tatana were at risk. The road is no longer safe." This is not just a road hazard. Families are losing their homes. Some of us have lived here for 40 to 50 years—now we’re forced to leave everything behind. Even renters have had to pack up and go. One by one, we’re watching our neighborhood vanish under the weight of collapsing soil. “We didn’t think it would come to this. But now, our homes are sinking. What choice do we have?” said a resident who has already moved out. "We’ve been writing to the National Capital District Commission (NCDC) for weeks. Letter after letter, asking for urgent help. Nothing came. No one came. Not until today—when the damage became impossible to ignore—did officials from the NCDC, the Motu Koita Assembly, and the National Weather Service arrive." “Why did it have to get this bad for anyone to show up?” "We understand that nature can be cruel, but silence from those who are meant to protect us is even harder to accept." "This is our home. These are our people. We’re not just asking for help—we’re pleading for it. Stabilize our land. Rebuild our road. Show us that our lives matter as much as anyone else’s." "To the public traveling through this area—thank you for your patience and understanding. This isn’t just a detour. It’s our community, and we’re doing everything we can to keep everyone safe."

Nearly 300 teachers and adult learners across the Namatanai District in New Ireland province have reached a major academic milestone, graduating last week through the Flexible Open Distance Education (FODE) program delivered by the Kokoda Track Foundation (KTF). The series of ceremonies celebrated 293 students – the majority of whom are current classroom teachers – who completed grades nine to twelve while continuing to educate children in more than 114 schools across the region. KTF’s FODE program, now in its second year in Lihir, has expanded to Silom, Lamasong, and Warangansau, thanks to a collaborative effort between KTF, Newmont, the New Ireland Provincial Administration, and the New Ireland Division of Education. Around 88% of graduates are existing teachers who are upgrading their qualifications to align with the national 1-6-6 education reform, without leaving their teaching posts. Describing the event as “momentous,” New Ireland Division of Education School Inspector Godfrey Lutam, commended the graduates for their commitment to personal and professional growth. “Today marks a significant and historical era in the lives of this special cohort,” Lutam said. “They were not only teachers but also students, upgrading their grade 10 and 12 qualifications through FODE.” Among the graduates was Nancy Kandi, a full-time teacher and mother of four, who returned to study after a 20-year break. Kandi hopes to pursue early childhood education and was awarded the Grade 12 Dux for her academic excellence. “I love working with children and want to continue into early childhood training,” she said. “It was challenging at first, but with KTF’s flexible learning model and support, I found the confidence to succeed.” KTF CEO Dr. Genevieve Nelson praised the graduates’ resilience and highlighted the program’s broader impact. “Our students have shown extraordinary dedication,” she said. “The teachers, especially, are leading the way in lifelong learning. We’re incredibly proud and deeply grateful to Newmont for their continued support.” Newmont’s Manager for Non-Process Infrastructure in Lihir, Michael Cotterell, also commended the graduates, reinforcing the company’s commitment to education. “Education is one of the most powerful tools for transforming communities,” Cotterell said. “Newmont is proud to support initiatives like FODE that are laying the foundation for a stronger and more resilient future for New Ireland.” The graduation ceremony was attended by key education and government representatives, including New Ireland Provincial Administration CEO for Social Services Apelis Benson, Nimamar Division of Education Provincial Inspector Rogers Lulagarea, District Education Manager Josephine Warmanai, District Education Advisor Chris Orim, Newmont’s Government Relations Lead for Kavieng Mactil Bais, and KTF’s Head of Education Martha Bentley. The FODE initiative continues to offer a crucial pathway for teachers and adult learners in remote communities, strengthening the quality and accessibility of education throughout the province.

In a gripping showdown against Joby from Port Moresby, Jackson pushed through an intense third round, winning by anonymous judges' decision to be crowned champion of the inaugural Mountain Dew All-Style Battle. “I didn’t even know about the competition until my brother saw the post on Facebook,” Jackson shared after his win. “But I’ve put in the work. Even when my family didn’t support my passion, I kept pushing and perfecting my art.” This wasn’t just a dance competition—it was a movement. Beyond the footwork, the battle showcased fashion, identity, and a deep sense of community and self-expression. Speaking at the event, Nathaniel Lepani, National Marketing Manager for Pacific Industries Limited, expressed the bigger vision behind this ground-breaking initiative. “Every time we host the Mtn Dew One Squad PNG National Dance Championships, we see the talent, the energy, the passion. With the Mtn Dew All-Style Battle, we wanted to give dancers from all genres a formal platform to shine. This is more than just a competition—it’s about empowering youth, giving them purpose, and building a movement that’s here to stay.” He added, “We’re not just recognizing talent, we’re inspiring it. This is just the beginning. We see this growing into a national phenomenon, with regional qualifiers, bigger stages, and even greater opportunities for PNG’s dance community, supported by our Mtn Dew brand.” Apart from the 28 individual dancers who battled in the 1v1 face-off, two Port Moresby crews took the stage for the opening performance. One was the well-known crew THE RESISTANCE, featuring members from the Arts Theater Activist group, and the other was MIN-G, made up entirely of Port Moresby international students. Both crews lit up the crowd, keeping everyone on their toes with electrifying performances—especially MIN-G, who wowed the audience with a remixed version of Kendrick Lamar's “Not Like Us. The event was successful through the possible generous support of both partners and sponsors namely, Hilton Hotel – Venue Partner, Event Techz – Technical Partner (Sound) and Trophy Haus – Trophy Sponsor To conclude Nathaniel expressed gratitude by thanking the Wan Squad Dance Crew for their outstanding hosting and leadership, and most importantly—to the community, fans, and spectators who came out in full force to support the youth and celebrate PNG’s vibrant dance culture.

The Maggi Golden Ticket Promotion has been an exciting opportunity for consumers across Papua New Guinea (PNG) since it launched on January 20th, 2025. The promotion, which offers a total prize pool of K500,000, has seen multiple winners across different categories, ranging from K500 to K50,000. As the campaign nears its conclusion on April 20, 2025, the excitement continues to grow, with lucky consumers claiming their life-changing prizes. Meet the Third K50,000 Golden Ticket Winner nick-named Kura Naisi from Mt. Hagen city. Though he chooses to go by a nickname, his story is one of resilience and fortune. The night before discovering his win, Kura went to bed hungry due to unresolved family conflicts. Determined to start his day positively, he headed to town the following morning to buy his favorite Maggi noodles to accompany the kaukau (sweet potato) he had cooked. Purchasing a six-pack of Maggi Noodles from Pick and Pay Grocery Shop, Kura went home to prepare his meal. As he opened the first packet and dropped the noodles into boiling water, he noticed something unusual—the seasoning sachet was golden yellow and upon closer inspection, he found the ticket confirming his K50,000 win. Overwhelmed with excitement, he chose to keep quiet initially, knowing that his family might react strongly. After ensuring he was alone, he carefully pulled out the ticket and immediately contacted Nestlé's marketing team. His win was officially confirmed, making him the latest recipient of the grand prize. Kura plans to use his winnings wisely, securing a secondhand vehicle to help him with his job. "I wanted to invest in something that will last," he shared. At the same time, he also intends to share a portion of his winnings with his family and close friends, despite any past grievances. "I’m not a greedy guy. Everyone deserves to share in the blessing," he said. Expressing gratitude to Nestlé, Kura described the Maggi Golden Ticket Promotion as "a dream come true. He also encouraged consumers in the Islands Region to keep buying Maggi noodles, as winners have already emerged from the Southern, Momase, and Highland's regions. "Now it's the Islands Region's turn!" he declared enthusiastically. Nestlé PNG’s Trade Marketing Lead, Ronil Prasad, emphasized the promotion’s success, calling it one of the company’s most exciting consumer campaigns. "The Maggi Golden Ticket Promotion is about more than just rewarding loyal consumers—it’s about enhancing in-store excitement and creating real value for our customers," he said. With a simple buy, check, and win mechanism, the campaign has garnered a highly positive response. "To date, we have 63 winners across all prize categories. However, there are still unredeemed golden tickets out there. We encourage everyone to keep purchasing Maggi noodles for their chance to win," Prasad stated. For larger prizes of K50,000 and K20,000, winners receive their payouts via direct bank transfer, while K500 and K1,000 prizes are processed through Digicel’s Cell Money Wallet. According to Prasad, the most rewarding aspect of the promotion has been witnessing the profound impact on winners’ lives. "Many winners expressed that the prize money would go toward essential needs like school fees, housing, and family expenses. Some were in disbelief, overwhelmed by the unexpected financial relief." Even smaller prize winners of K500 and K1,000 found the support invaluable. "Many students have told us that the money will help them purchase university supplies and cover daily expenses. It’s heartwarming to see how this promotion has positively impacted the lives of everyday Papua New Guineans," Prasad added.
