Some people think about perfection, others dream about it. But still a select few actually achieve it. In the Philippines, five Filipino students with a penchant for numbers stand out with only few peers for notching a perfect score in the 2013 Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC).
Making a historic feat in the 2013 AMC are Matthew Angelo Isidro and Adrian Reginald Sy of St. Jude Catholic School, Shaquille Wyan Que of Grace Christian College, Cylde Wesley Ang of Chiang Kai Shek College and Kyle Patrick Dulay of Philippine Science High School. Each will receive the Peter O'Halloran certificate; an award given in honor of the AMC founder Peter O'Halloran.
The big news about the Philippine participants making headway in this year’s AMC continues as five more Filipino math wizards together with the perfect scorers stay ahead of the pack, making each of them a recipient of the Prize Award. Other than the “perfectionists”, the following also earn the prize award, Matthew Ryan Tan of St. Jude Catholic School, Christian Philip Gelera of Philippine Science High School – Main, Dion Stephan Ong of Ateneo De Manila University Grade School, Dominic Lawrence Bermudez of Notre Dame of Greater Manila, Caloocan City and Shawn Chua of MGC New Life Christian Academy.
The number of AMC winners in the Philippines has grown in leaps and bounds as sixty three (63) math aces make it in the top 2%, an achievement assuring each to receive a high distinction certificate. This year, the Philippines has a total of 468 distinction awardees for being in the top 15% and 1266 credit awardees for making it in the top 50% of their year and region.
The recipients of prize awards and high distinction certificates will likely be awarded by no less than Prof. Mike Clapper, Executive Director of the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) at 9 o’clock in the morning on Tuesday, October 22, 2013. This year is his first time to award the AMC winners as new AMT executive director, replacing Dr. Peter Taylor who retired in December 2012. The venue will be announced soon in this website.
This time, letter of invitation to attend the 2013 AMC awarding ceremonies will be sent to respective school and it will be the school head to do the confirmation of attendance.
The following are the awardees of high distinction certificates.
