St. Paul University Surigao - Best Child Actor

The Grade Four pupil was adjudged Best Child Performer in the short film category of the Annual Sinulog Film Festival which was held during the Feast of Senior Sto. Nino de Cebu for his truthful portrayal in the movie entry "Gasa".

"I wasn't expecting much because there were other equally talented contenders" shared Samson.

But lady luck smiled at this budding thespian who credited his father, his hands -0n acting coach, Kuya Shawn Catubigan, his discoverer for bringing out in him his natural ability.

Pressed for some tips he could advise other children who want to follow his footsteps, Samson innocently emphasized "be natural and never forget to Pray to God".

With this milestone achievement he has brought home everyone in the Paulinian Community from classmates, teachers, Sisters and Friends feels proud and jovial.

One eager question remains, can a mainstream movie offer be far behind Samson sheepishly beamed smile.
