A 14-year-old Filipina student in Guangzhou, China recently bagged third place in the National English Speech Competition in Beijing.




According to a news release of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the Filipina girl, Summer Gem Remo-Genis, is a second-year student at Guangzhou Huamei International School's British Columbian-Canadian Program.

She is the daughter of Guangzhou-based English teachers Esteb and Ma. Pamela Remo-Genis, the Philippine Consulate General in Guangzhou said.

"A scholar and a consistent top 10 student since she was in her first year in the said school, Susum, as she is fondly called by her friends, loves photography, reading classical English books, playing the guitar, singing, and listening to Korean and Japanese music," the DFA said.

Three-stage competition

The DFA said Summer garnered a Pass with Merit award in the preliminary phase of the three-stage competition.

She bagged the grand prize in the provincial phase, the second stage.

Finally, she won the third prize in the national phase held in Beijing in February.

The National English Speech Competition was organized by the Sino-British Exchange Center in Education Management and the University of Cambridge English-for-Speakers-of-other-Languages (ESOL) Examinations. - VVP, GMA News
