Hey friends!

My name is Reina Morton, and I use she/her pronouns. I am a second year studying Advertising with a concentration in Marketing and a minor in Business. But, that’s all the boring stuff. Most importantly, I’m proud to serve as ½ of your PR Officers this school year!

When I accepted my admission to SJSU, I already had one plan in motion: joining Akbayan. I heard about the organization from my father, who’s an Akbayan and SJSU alumni, who loved his time here. Since most of my friends went to different colleges, I thought Akbayan would be a great way to make as many friends as possible and learn more about my culture and heritage. So I took up every opportunity offered. I became an Amihan intern in fall, joined PCN 38: Pamana in Spring, and got picked up by my kuya, Tyler, in Spring (#TruFam). Each time I pushed myself, this community ensured I wouldn’t regret it by embracing me with warmth and kindness– feelings I hope to pay forward!

A fun fact about me is that I love reading comic books. My father owns a comic book business, so I grew up reading Batman Adventures, Black Cat and Spiderman, and Daredevil (I love Team Red). I especially enjoy reading about Felicia Hardy and Tim Drake as smart, snarky characters have a special place in my heart.

Hey y’all!

I’m Brando Suarez. I go by he/him pronouns, and I’m a 3rd Year Public Health Major.

I was the 25-26 Alaya Fam Rep, and an Amihan Intern.

I joined Akbayan to realign myself with my Pilipinx identity as well as to expand my network and make connections. I was a former board member in my high school Filipino club, and I wanted to carry that passion I had for community and friendship into my college years!

Some fun facts about me are that I was the Team Captain for Varsity Tennis in high school and I even placed 2nd in regional bodybuilding tournament!

Hai everyone! My name is Abby Vargas, I use she/her pronouns and I am a 3rd year Design Studies major concentrating in Animation & Illustration! And I am proud to serve as ⅓ of y’alls media officers for this academic school year.

I am in Legendary Fam and got picked up in F24 KAAMP Voyage by my Ate Audrey! After my freshman year being an ading I knew I wanted to be more involved in this lovely community. In F25, I became an Amihan Intern, S26 I became the programs apprentice for PCN 38 Pamana, became one of the first ever media core members on Corewaii, and picked up my first born ading Cole! After juggling all 3 positions, I knew I wanted to be even more involved which led me to run for cab, and now I’m here!

I love art, design, and capturing memories so I am super excited to be one of your media officers! Outside of Akbayan I love collecting art books, vinyls, pink plants, and trinkets.

If you ever want to go out and sketch, want to talk anything design, or just want to say hi, reach out to me @ateabby_!

Hello everyone! My name is Leilah Deloviar and I go by she/her pronouns. I am a 3rd year Business Administration major with a concentration in Finance. I am delighted to serve as ⅓ of the Media Officers for the 2026-2027 academic year!

I joined Akbayan in Spring ‘26 where I got picked up during KAAMP Lantern in Tadhana Fam by my Ate Caira! Within the same semester I became an Amihan Intern and participated in PCN 38 as a cultural and contemporary dancer. That semester was one of the busiest times in my life but I would do it all over again if I had the chance! I joined Akbayan because I wanted to learn more about my culture and be more involved during my college years. Since joining I’ve found that my love for this organization has grown everyday which led me to run for this position. I want to give back to the community that gave me so much just like it has for so many others!

A fun fact about me is that over the summer I was a production assistant and an extra on a show that will be on Amazon Prime! Also I’ve beaten all of Plants vs Zombies 1&2!

Hi everyone!

My name is Elijah Saddi and my pronouns are he/him. I'm a third year studying Business Administration with a concentration in Accounting. I am honored to serve as ⅓ of Media Officers for the 2026-2027 academic year!

I joined Akbayan in Spring 2026, became an Amihan Intern through Internship, got picked up in TRU fam by my awesome Kuya Josh during KAAMP Lantern, and participated in PCN 38: Pamana, as a cultural dancer, contemporary dancer, and choir member! As a shy transfer student, I wanted to grow out of my shell and put myself out there. Through Akbayan, I was able to achieve that! Being involved helped me stay busy and meet so many amazing new people. I found genuine connections, a home away from home, and a stronger understanding of who I am.

A fun fact about me is that I beat Calamity Terraria solo!!
