Indeed the biblical passage, “many are called, few are chosen” aptly applies to the competitions conducted in all regions across the country by SHARP and MTG, Philippines. From the many participating schools in every region, only the top two winners from the 2nd SHARP-MTG Math Trail and Problem Solving Competition (High School Category) and SHARP-MTG Whiz Kid Challenge (Elementary Category) have been given the chance to participate in the Parallel National Mathematics Competition (PNMC) of the Philippine International Mathematics Competitions (PIMC) 2009.
It should be noted that the PNMC is a math competition with local and some foreign participants. It is international in character and nature because its rules, award system, medals and contest problems are those of 2009 PEMIC and 2009 AITMO. Thus, the PNMC will be held on November 29 – December 1, 2009 at Iloilo City.
For the participants of Sharp-MTG Whiz Kid Challenge, they will take the written exam of Individual and Team Activity Contests (that is, exactly, same contest problems with PEMIC) of PIMC. Hence, they are entitled to be medalists of the individual contest of PEMIC if they meet the cut off score of PIMC 2009.
While the participants of Sharp-MTG Math Trail and Problem Solving Competition will take the Individual Contest of AITMO. As usual, all of them can be the recipients of AITMO medals if they meet the cut off score set by International Academic Standard Committee headed by Prof Sun Wen Hsien.
Here’s what! SHARP and MTG, Philippines are giving out FREEboard and lodging to the 1st place winner in every region and to the 2nd placer that MEETS THE CUT-OFF SCORE. In case the 2nd placer in every region in both categories did not meet the cut-off score, then it is still invited to join the PNMC. The 4-member team of the 2nd placer will pay Php. 2,400.00 per person for the board and lodging (having 2 breakfast, 1 lunch and 2 dinner).
Payments can be made at BPI Special Project Account No. 3211084692 Manila Branch.
