Sammy joined the tribune because he grew up reading Filipino and American newspapers with his grandfather and father, and has always held an interest in the portrayal of the arts and world around him through the medium of print journalism. He previously has written for the Californian, California High School’s award-winning newspaper. If he could be anyone from the tribune, he would be Olivia Phongsa so that he could enjoy Phineas and Ferb as much as she does. One fun fact about S is that he has listened to 60 albums a month every month for the last three years.
