chesca santiago,
UPIS Grade 5 student Rafael Paulino won a gold medal in the International Mathematics Open for Young Achievers (IMOYA) 2017 held in Singapore last September 1-4.
Paulino competed in the Middle Primary division for Grades 3 - 4 students and took a 15-item written examination in which he garnered a full fifteen points.
He won gold to contribute to the 273 medal tally of the Philippines. The Filipino contingent grabbed a total of 32 gold, 75 silver, and 166 bronze medals.
“I thought of it as an ordinary test,” shared Paulino, as a tip for aspiring competitors. “Don’t overthink the test. Isipin mong magagawa mo yung test, but don’t be overconfident.”
Paulino signed up for the competition last 2016 and proceeded to train along with other Filipino contenders under the Mathematics Trainers’ Guild Philippines (MTG).
The Philippines placed third after China which had a total of 475 medals and Taiwan with 274 medals, but bested other representatives from Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iran, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. //by Chesca Santiago at Hannah Manalo
