The Manephat house is also referred to as “Uma Dato” because historically the community chose a village head from this house. The house was passed down by an elder named Maliboe-Mali Manephat. “Dato” Manephat is also an assistant to the Liko Loko house. When no candidate for village head emerges from amongst the Bili Ubun house community, the community can also chose someone from the Manephat house. The Portuguese flag which was surrendered in Portuguese times to the Bili Uban house is now stored within the Manephat house. The names “Manephat” or “Manepat” appear regularly in the Bobonaro municipality and in other areas. According to the village chief, a new settler, in 2007/2008, the Manephat house that today stands is a fourth generation house originating from Obutxi-Lolo Ubun-Liko Loko.
