Other participants were Kenneth Anthony Roquid and Christopher John Landicho of the Philippine Science High School, Bicol Campus; and John Romel Flora of the Rizal Science High School.

This was the first time the Philippines participated in the competition.

The students trained for a week at the UP National Institute of Physics in Diliman. They were mentored by volunteer trainors Dr. Perry Esguerra, Migel Catalig, Hauser Villegas, Bamm Gabriana, and Rochelle Derilo.
