Pinoy kids stamp class in 2018 World Mathematics Invitational
PRESS RELEASE: Once again Filipinos shine in the 2018 staging of this top-caliber competition participated in by 22 countries

This is a press release from the Asian Math Sci League, Inc.

SEOUL, South Korea – Koreans witnessed Pinoy Power up close when 111 Filipino students brought home 21 gold medals, 41 silvers, 35 bronzes and 14 merit awards during the 2018 World Mathematics Invitational (WMI).

The competition was held in South Korea from July 13 to 17, 2018. The prestigious Yonsei University was the venue of the competition, while the awards ceremony was held at the majestic Grand Peace Hall of Kyung Hee University, and was attended by Consul General Christian De Jesus of the Philippine Embassy in South Korea.

Now on its 6th year, WMI is the first international competition founded by Taiwan and the competition (finals) is held in different countries every year.

WMI founder and executive chairman Tsai Kun Lung said that a total of 1,100 students from 20 countries participated this year. These are South Korea, Bulgaria, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Macau, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

The competition is open to students in kindergarten up to senior high school. The written paper consists of two parts: a Logical Reasoning Test and an Applications Test, where the following abilities are assessed: Combination Ability, Number Theory Ability, Algebra Ability, Calculation Ability, Geometry Ability and Reasoning Ability. Another feature of the WMI is its Mini Math Creative competition which invites students from all over the world to do a research project regarding math.

This year, Reiona Ckyle Mundala, (Grade 7, Lipa City Science Integrated National High School) won a bronze award and $100 for her WMI Mini Math Creative Video about the Pythagorean Theorem.

Chairman Tsai commended Rechilda Villame, founder and president of Asian MathSci League Inc  (AMSLI) for her unwavering efforts in promoting mathematics in the Philippines and for her support to the WMI organization. Being an educator for many years, Villame also serves as the vice-chairman of WMI organizing committee.

Wesley Gavin Palomar (Grade 8, Philippine Science High School – Main Campus) was hailed one of the Stars of the World for being the overall top scorer in his grade level. When asked about the secret to his success, Palomar, a veteran of math competitions said, “I don’t train and join math contests for the Gold medals. I train because I love to learn, and I want to be the best I can be at what I love to do. Being in a contest is about further learning, gaining experience, meeting new friends, making memories and improving yourself by being better than before. And for that, consistent hard work is necessary. My advice to other students is to choose what you love to do, focus, work hard and have fun!” 

Bronze medallist, Alison Chloe Tan (Grade 12, Ateneo de Manila Senior High School), says that this is her last year to join international math competitions because she will already be in college next year. Having represented the country 6 times in the past, Tan says, “There is so much sacrifice on the part of the student and the parents. Plane fare and accommodation are expensive. I had to miss school for this competition, but not everyone has the opportunity to represent the country. And for me, it has always been a privilege and an honor to carry the Philippine flag, and I always strive to do my best for the Lord.”
