The 2009 Philippine Mathematical Olympiad (PMO)

Finalists of the 12th PMO.

The National Finals of the 12th PMO was held last January 23 in UP Diliman. John Russell P. Virata, a student of Gideon Academy, emerged as this year's PMO champion, outperforming 19 other finalists in combined score in the written and oral portions of the finals. Zheng Rong S. Wu (Zamboanga Chong Hua High School) and Aldric Cristoval C. Reyes (Chiang Kai Shek College) won 2nd and 3rd places, respectively.  The PMO is a national competition designed to select the best secondary students in mathematical problem-solving in the Philippines.

The winners of the PMO received cash prizes and will automatically qualify to join the training raining pool for the 2010 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), from which the our country's representatives to the IMO will be chosen. The IMO is the largest and most prestigious in most prestigious international mathematics competition among secondary school students from all over the world.

Carmela Antoinette S. Lao (Saint Jude Catholic School), 2nd place winner at the 11th Philippine Mathematical Olympiad, was awarded a bronze medal at the 50th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), held last July 10-22, 2009 in Bremen, Germany

The IMO is the most prestigious and most challenging international math competition for high school students. Held annually since 1959, it draws the world's best mathematical talents. This year 565 young math wizards from 104 countries participated in the IMO, the largest number in IMO history. The Philippine IMO Team was composed of Carlo Francisco E. Adajar of PAREF Southridge School, Earl John R. Chua of Grace Christian College, Carmela Antoinette S. Lao, Jonathan S. Wong of Grace Christian College, Dr. Julius M. Basilla (Deputy Leader) of the University of the Philippines – Diliman, and  Dr. Ian June L. Garces (Leader) of the Ateneo de Manila University.

From among the 2000 students who took the 11th Philippine Mathematical Olympiad (PMO), the twenty national finalists went on to the Mathematical Olympiad Summer Camp (MOSC), a multiphase intensive and extensive training program for the IMO. The final four students who eventually made it to the team were selected  after the third phase of the MOSC. The MOSC2009 training team was composed of Dr. Garces, Dr Basilla and former IMO contestants Mr. Richard B. Eden, Mr. Glen C. Ong, and Mr. Timothy Robin Y. Teng.

The MOSC and the IMO participation are joint projects of the Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) and the Mathematical Society of the Philippines (MSP).

Congratulations to Carmela and our Philippine Team to the IMO!
