A renowned mathematician from Shanghai University, China arrived in the Philippines on May 6, 2003 to facilitate a two-week Mathematics Olympiad Summer Training Program in Zamboanga City. The math-training program conducted on May 7-20, 2004 held at the Zamboanga Chong Hua High School and was attended by selected Mathematics
