AB SAMAHAN'S 53RD
EXECUTIVE BOARD

CHAIRPERSON/UPUAN
Angeline Paguia
hi hi friends! I’m Angeline (you can also call me ang or angie) and I’m absolutely honored to be back as your Chairperson this year. As Chairperson, I am responsible for ensuring everything is running smoothly ! both with Executive Board and the General Body. A little about me: I’m a commuter student from Imperial Beach, CA (aka the corner of the U.S :D). I was introduced to AB Samahan before I started college through High School Conference, and since then I have worn many many hats in this organization, including FACN dance director, CoCo, Admin, and more! I have poured a lot of love into this organization and cannot wait to spend my last year in undergrad with you all <3 Alongside Samahan, I work on campus in EOPOS as a Compact Scholars Academic Mentor, am the Vice President of Compact Scholars Student Association, and Secretary and Sisterhood Chair for a Filipino community service-based sorority called Pi Nu Psi. Overall, I have a lot of passions and interests, and I love to keep myself busy with them. Outside of all my extracurriculars, I love to spend time with friends and family, go fishing at IB pier, and go to the mall. Samahan has truly been my family and safe space throughout college, and I hope that we are able to provide that for you as well. Whether you’re in need of an ate, grands, 2G, mentor, or just a friend to talk to, I’m here - truly. You are always welcome and deserving to be here and join this pamilya. If I haven’t already, I can’t wait to meet you! Ingat kayo (take care!) <3

Vice Chairperson
Gamiel Ortigoza
HELLO SAMAHOMIES!! Hope you all are doing amazing as always. My name is Gamiel, but many of you can call me Game. It is an absolute honor and privilege to be your Vice Chairperson for this year! I do a lot of support work and make sure that my fellow executive board members get their tasks done. I also put my energy into keeping overall morale high in every Samahan space! I am a 4th year nursing major from Elk Grove, CA and I absolutely love being in San Diego. I am a born and raised Sacramento Kings fan (SACTOWN BABYYYYY). I love baking (especially bread) and staying active. I am currently training to do a half-marathon at the end of Fall semester and a full marathon by my graduation in Spring 2024! My biggest weakness is MILKSHAKES. My experience with AB Samahan starts all the way back to my 1st year at SDSU when I was looking for a Filipino club/organization since I was a part of my high school's Filipino club. Since then, my Samahan experience has extended to 5 Executive Board Positions (Sports and Recreation Coordinator, Administrative Officer, Student Advisor, Treasurer, and Vice Chairperson), FACN Dance Director, FG Head Coach, and an overall hyped samahomie. Moreover, I am the current Secretary for the Student Nurses Association at SDSU. I felt that this organization has provided me with numerous opportunities to find my family at SDSU. I have always felt welcomed here and I aspire to extend that welcoming feeling to everyone I meet! I love spending time and bonding with other samahomies and I love knowing that the work I am doing affects everyone positively. My biggest advice to anyone reading this is to never hesitate to say hi to someone! Reaching out may seem intimidating, but I promise that the people in AB Samahan make interacting with others so easy. Much love.

Administrative Officer
Casey Saplan
I am a third year Political Science major and I am originally from San Francisco. I have been dancing since high school and have danced on a team here in San Diego. I joined Andrés Bonifacio Samahan through FACN (Filipino American Culture Night) 37. I was the co-Pampilpilalecan dance head and was able to immerse myself in Filipino culture through dance, something I had not experienced prior. Aside from this organization, I serve as the Vice President of Internal Affairs on my college council and as a Justice on the A.S. Judicial Affairs Council. I have loved my time with AB Samahan and at SDSU because I have been able to foster so many new and pre-existing passions. My time within AB Samahan has been so rewarding and I enjoy being around such passionate people. My favorite thing has been meeting new people, so I hope to meet you soon!

I was born and raised in San Diego, California, however I did move to Las Vegas, Nevada for 4 and a half years.

I love watching Grey’s Anatomy, Umbrella Academy, anything marvel related, and every single filipino movie dealing with romance bC I WILL EAT THAT UP. I am currently binge watching Grey's Anatomy again because I have no other shows to binge watch. (give me some recs) I love the amazing vibe everyone has in AB Samahan. I know that if I’m having a not so funky fresh day, AB Samahan will most definitely bring up my mood no matter what. I met some of my closest friends within this organization and I know everyone else can too!! I’m so excited for this new year! Feel free to come talk to me whenever y’all see me, I swear I’m friendly ahhh!

Sports & Recreation Coordinator
Ryan De Leon
Hey guys! I'm Ryan (hometown friends call me Dele) and I'm excited to be involved in Samahan this year as your Sports and Recreation coordinator. As your Sports and Recreation coordinator, my most significant duty is coordinating Friendship Games for AB Samahan!! As a 1st year, Friendship Games was one of my first memorable moments coming into college and will be a memory that will always be cherished. Having such a great experience, I wanted to provide the same experience for others and that's why I'm here today! Along with coordinating Friendship Games, I will also be the executive director for Samahan's dance team Catalyst. As the dance team Catalyst is new, I hope to bring more attention to the potential that this team has and give the team the opportunity to be more involved in the San Diego dance community. About me: Outside of Samahan, I'm a second-year Kinesiology student from Torrance, California. Growing up, I was always enrolled in some kind of sport. Whether it was tennis, soccer, basketball, or baseball I found I always found myself going to practice right then school ended. Another big part of me was all of the YouTubers I grew up watching. My sense of humor and taste in media would be totally different if it wasn't for Ryan Higa, Wongfu Productions, JKfilms, Casey Neistat, Domics, and more. Within Samahan, I got the opportunity to be an athlete for one of our FG games, volunteer at HSC, and dance in FACN 2023. Toward the final phases of able I found myself showing the sports and rec position an sooner or later I'm here today as When I first found AB Samahan it never really stood out to me and it seemed just like any other club. However, sooner or later I found myself going to GBM every week and going to all the different socials and events they would put out. Reflecting on all the fun times I had I learned it was the people who have made this organization what it is today. And they were the type of people I wanted to surround myself in college. I can't wait to work with everyone this year!
