The students won 189 medals consisting of 27 gold, 54 silver and 108 bronze medals, and 80 merit awards at the 15th International Mathematics Contest (IMC) held from Aug. 2 to 5 in Singapore.

“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, president of the Mathematics Trainers Guild-Philippines (MTG), an association of math experts that trains Filipino students for international math competitions.

The IMC was participated in by students from 15 countries and territories: Australia, Bulgaria, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Filipino contestants were accompanied by Felix Romy Triambulo, schools division superintendent of Zamboanga City, together with team leaders Manuel Kotah, Arvie Ubarro, Myrna Agtarap and Resicito Navarro.
