Kei a Pablos te mahi a ngā ratonga utukore e taea ai te whai; pēnei i ngā rauemi, ngā awheawhe, ngā whakaaturanga pūkenga; te ako kanohi ki te kanohi, te whakawhitiwhiti whakaaro ā-rōpū, ngā haerenga, ngā hōtaka ā-hapori; tae atu ki te haumanu toi ā-rōpū. Mahi ai ngā ringatoi ki ō rātou ake tūpapa, ki tētāhi tūpapa nui ā-iwi rānei. He tāngata mātau ā-wheako ngā ringatoi e kuhu ai ki Pablos mō te āta tiaki i te hauora hinengaro te take. He mahi takitahi, he mahi takitini rānei tā te ringatoi hei ahu atu ki ōna koronga auaha.
