MANILA, Philippines—A total of 191 young math aces from over 100 public and private elementary and high schools nationwide will represent the Philippines in at least 12 international mathematics competitions this year.
This was announced on Thursday by Dr. Simon Chua, president of the Mathematics Trainers' Guild-Philippines, which held early this week the 2011 Young Mathematicians' In-House Training Program in Naga City.
More than 1,400 primary and secondary school students took part in the tough MTG qualifying tests.
Those who qualified are set to participate in MTG's Math Olympiad Summer Training Program to prepare them for this year's foreign math contests, according to Chua.
Chua was referring to the Primary Math World Contest in Hong Kong; Indonesia International Math Contest; Hua Bei Sai Math Contest for the Youth, Southeast Math Olympiad, China Girls' Math Olympiad, China Primary Level Math Contest, China Junior High School Math Contest, Nan Fang Math Cup, and China Western Math Olympiad, all in China; International Math Invitational Contest in Singapore; Wizards at Mathematics International Competition in India; and the Asian Inter-Cities Math Olympiad in Nepal.
For the second year in a row, St. Jude Catholic School in Manila topped the list of qualifiers with 21 students, followed by Xavier School and Grace Christian College, with 20 and 10 qualifiers, respectively.
St. Stephen's High School had seven qualifiers; Zamboanga Chong Hua High School, Philippine Cultural College, Philippine Science High School-Main, Jubilee Christian Academy, and Makati Science High School had six qualifiers each, while Chiang Kai Shek had five.
San Beda College-Alabang had four qualifiers while Colegio San Agustin-Makati, St. John Institute and Pasig Catholic College had three each.
Qualifiers from St. Jude Catholic School include Adrian Reginald Sy, Abigail Laureen Sy, Andrew Lawrence Sy, Cary Albert Chan, Ma. Czarina Angela Lao, Audrey Celine Lao, Keefe Collin Tan and Austin Edrick Chua.
Those from Xavier School include Ethan Zachary Chua, Jarred Go, Adrian Nathaniel Chua, Brendan Coseto, Vince Andrew Lee, Mark Christopher Uy, Kyle Lee Uy, and Aldrich Aldwin Mayoralgo.
Qualifiers from Grace Christian College include Kaye Janelle Yao, Deany Hendrick Cheng, Lu Christian Ong, Sean Timothy Cheng, Adam Christopher Chan, Shaquille Wyan Que, and Jason Carlo Carranceja.
The following also made the cut: national Sudoku champion James Timothy Tan from Trinity Christian School in Bacolod City; James Daniel Cordon, Lara Andrea Montales and Michael Brodeth, all from Philippine Science High School-Main; Farrell Eldrian Wu from MGC New Life Christian Academy in Taguig City; Jonn Angel Aranas from Makati Science High School; Ethan Riley Chan and Steve Ng, both from Zamboanga Chong Hua High School; and Trisha Nicole Aman from the Naga Hope Christian School in Naga City.
Last year, a total of 227 young math wizards represented the country in eight foreign math competitions, where they bagged more than 200 medals.
Chua cited the country's numbers aces for "a job well done," noting "MTG's efforts are paying off."
Founded in 1995, MTG aims to "institutionalize excellence in math education and training and upgrade the disciplines to international standards."
Next September, MTG and the Naga City government will jointly host the 8th International Mathematics and Science Olympiad.
At least 30 countries are expected to compete in this year's IMSO, which was held last year in Bali, Indonesia.
