¡Hola!, Night-Rider9:

Keep in mind that in the Spanish alphabet, the letter "h" is not sounded. To suggest that "pa-he-na" is the pronounciation for this word is at least misleading.
The better way to hear this word pronounced is to find it in our dictionary by entering it into the translate slot in our dictionary tab. For this occaision, let me save you that trouble. Just click here ----> página. On the definition page there is a small sound speaker icon directly beside the word. Click on the sound speaker icon and you will here the word pronounced by a synthesized voice. Listen carefully. You may hear it say pa kee-na with the 1st syllable emphasized and the letter "g" is given a near to "k" sound.

Muchos saludos/Best regards,
Moe
