Fourteen students, including two sisters, from 10 schools in the Philippines obtained the highest honors in the recently concluded 2009 Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC).
Four students from the Philippines got AMC medals for their outstanding performance. They are Seanne Ng of Saint Jude Catholic School, Justrin Edric Yturzaeta of Jubilee Christian Academy , Julius Vincent Sy of St. Stephen’s High School and Amiel Sy of PSHS-Main Campus. Sy got a perfect score in the AMC.
Sisters Audrey Celine and Czarina Lao, both from Saint Jude Catholic School, netted the AMC Prize Award, the highest award given to AMC competitors for being at the top 1 percent of the competitors.
Other students who got the Prize Award are Lormes Pedeglorio of Butuan City Special Education Center, Miguel Lorenzo Ildesa of Parents for Education (PAREF)-Westbridge School, Adrian Sy of Saint Jude Catholic School, Aldric Cristoval Reyes of Chiang Kai Shek College, John Russel Virata of Gideon Academy, Alvin Uy Lim of Quezon City Science High School, Emiliano Tan of Philippine Science High School (PSHS) -Main Campus, and Jake Gacuan of University of the Philippines.
Besides the 14 students who got top awards, 43 other students from different schools in the Philippines obtained High Distinction honors for being at the top 2 percent of examinees in their year level.
Eleven students also obtained a Prudence Award for garnering the most number of correct answers from question 1 of the AMC.
The AMC is a correspondence type exam, administered by the Australian Mathematics Trust, aimed at highlighting the importance of mathematics as part of the curriculum and discovering talents in mathematics. It is conducted in cooperation with the Mathematics Trainers’s Guild and the Australian Mathematics Trust.
Six students also from different schools in Metro Manila obtained perfect scores in the 2009 Rio Tinto Big Science Competition. They are Johanna Wileen Go of St. Jude Catholic School, Henry Jefferson Morco and Richard Milante of Chiang Kai Shek College, Timothy Augustus Ong of Xavier School, Elvis Jeremy Ayroso of PSHS-Main Campus and Ariana Benipayo of St. Paul College-Pasig.
All the winners of the AMC and the Rio Tinto were presented their awards today (October 19) at the Sofitel Hotel, Pasay City .
Dr. Ester B. Ogena, Director of the Science Education Institute, expressed hopes that the students who obtained top marks in the said competitions would take courses in science and engineering when they go to college.
“The recent typhoons that has been hitting our country and the devastation it has left us shows that we need more scientists and engineers to counter the onslaught it causes,” she said.
Ogena said that besides encouraging math-inclined students to excel in international competitions, the SEI also provides help to students through science scholarships at the undergraduate and graduate levels..
“In the undergraduate level, we continue to provide scholarships to deserving students that help them to realize their dream of becoming scientists and engineers. Through the Advanced Science and Technology Human Resource Development (ASTHRD) and the Engineering for Research and Development Technology (ERDT) Programs, we provide enticing packages for students and graduates to pursue graduate studies in science and engineering,” she said.

This is great news! Keep up the good work, yes? Mathematics has a multitude of applications. I would suggest that as a prize, they be given an option to enroll in BS Mathematics, a field that needs more focus.

I don't remember reading this news in the papers and though it's late I'd still like to congratulate the students. I never found math interesting because it never made much sense to me but I know the value of math and have always admired those good at math. I'd advice the students that math is a wonderful subject with bright future prospects. They should know that there are not many people good in math.
