Sarji Elijah Bona of De La Salle University Senior High School and Vincent de la Cruz of Valenzuela City School of Mathematics and Science received the bronze medals.
The IMO is regarded as the toughest and most prestigious mathematics contest in the world.
The Philippine team was led by Christian Paul Chan Shio and Raymond Joseph Fadri in behalf of the Mathematical Society of the Philippines.
The team ranked 23rd out of 107 countries, a jump from 2020 when the Philippines landed in 43rd place.
