The Department of Education (DepEd) in Makati City reported that several students in the city recently garnered top spots in international academic competitions.
In a news release published on the Makati City government website, DepEd Makati Superintendent Elena Ruiz said the distinctions won by bronze medals won by the following students: Jannylie Suhayne Cayabyab of Makati Science High School (MSHS) in the 2011 China Primary School Math Olympiad in Beijing;
Joshua Padua of Fort Bonifacio Elementary School III in the 2011 International Mathematics Competition in Singapore;
John Angel Aranas of MSHS in the Hua Luo Geng Golden Cup Mathematics Contest, Hui Zhou, China;
Raymond Joseph Fadri of MSHS in the Indonesia International Mathematics Contest in Bali;
Mikael Adriane Ochiai of MSHS was the top scorer, individual category in the American Regions Mathematics League in Las Vegas, Nevada, and
Maria Lorena Tabao earned a Certificate of Merit in the 2011 International Mathematics Competition in Singapore.
Silver medalist
Meanwhile, a public school student from Makati City won a silver medal in the recently concluded 8th International Mathematics and Science Olympiad in Naga City in the Philippines.
Patrick Allen Tañada, a freshman of Makati Science High School, was among 30 math and 36 science contestants qualified to represent the country.
“The outstanding achievements of students from the city’s public schools are gratifying to us. They serve to validate our genuine commitment to providing the youth of Makati, especially those from indigent families, free access to quality education that will empower them to succeed in life,” Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. said in an article on the city’s web portal .
Tañada and his fellow representatives had received intensive training by the Mathematics Trainers’ Guild of the Philippines (MTGP).
Last year, Tañada also did the city proud after being named one of the recipients of the Certificate of High Distinction Award in the upper primary division of the 2010 Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC).
The AMC is one of the world’s prestigious and the largest mathematics competition. – VVP, GMA News
