PH team captures 189 medals in Singapore math contest

Young Filipino wizards continued their winning streak abroad, this time winning 189 medals at a math competition in Singapore.

The Philippine delegation won 27 gold, 54 silver and 108 bronze medals, and 80 merit awards for a total of 269 awards at the 15th International Mathematics Contest (IMC) held from August 2 to 5 in Singapore, according to the Mathematics Trainers Guild-Philippines (MTG).

This year’s competition drew contestants from 15 countries and territories: Australia, Bulgaria, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Philippine delegation was headed by Felix Romy Triambulo, schools division superintendent of Zamboanga City, together with team leaders Manuel Kotah, Arvie Ubarro, Myrna Agtarap and Resicito Navarro.

“Congratulations to our Filipino students for achieving a bountiful harvest of medals this year at IMC. We commend them for their hard work,” said Dr. Isidro Aguilar, MTG president.

Last year, the Philippines won 27 gold, 53 silver and 116 bronze medals at the 14th IMC in Singapore.

Recently, Filipino contestants triumphed at the 22nd Po Leung Kuk Primary Mathematics World Contest in Hong Kong, and the 13th Asian Finals of the World Math-Fusion Olympiad (WMO) and 10th Global Finals of SPEAK International Competition in Malaysia.
