Here's a link to the HVO information statement about those two quakes yesterday.
Of note, they don't link the seismicity to ongoing activity at Pahala, which they investigated this summer. Instead:
If I lived anywhere on Mauna Loa's flanks, particularly in HOVE, in the west, I'd sleep lightly and have my go-bag ready and the gas tank topped off until this thing settles down or erupts somewhere.
That lava travels fast.
PS: They also discussed earthquakes the day before those twins in this week's "Volcano Watch."

This sequence of earthquakes appears to be related to readjustments along the southeast flank of Mauna Loa volcano. There has been no immediate effect on the continuing unrest beneath Mauna Loa summit, which remains elevated at levels similar to the past week. On several occassions large earthquakes have preceded past eruptions of Mauna Loa, though these have typically been larger than today’s earthquakes. It is not known at this time if this sequence of earthquakes is directly related to the ongoing unrest on Mauna Loa.
