Grade 1 students Ralfh Mantaring, Hezekiah Sagayaga, and Xian Yu claimed the first prize in the Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge Regional Finals (MMC) on March 10 at Ramon Magsaysay High School Manila.

The trio went through several team competitions before bagging 1st prize at the regionals. They competed first in the Area Finals where they won 1st place, automatically granting them a spot at the Sectoral Finals. They placed 2nd at the Sectoral Finals, but due to their high scores, they were allowed to join the Regionals where they were hailed champions.

Prof. Luzviminda Tan the group’s adviser, was very happy and proud of the team’s effort. “Masaya and proud ako sa kanila dahil ‘di lang naman pagod ko ‘yun, isa itong group effort na pinaghirapan ng lahat,” she explained.

Ninth graders Lester Amurao, Marius Barcenas, and Jammy Mapa also participated in the MMC but did not make it to the finals.

For individual championships, Sagayaga placed 1st at the Regional Finals while Barcenas placed 10th.

The MMC aims to awaken greater interest in Mathematics among public and private elementary and high school students. It also aims to encourage mastery of basic mathematical skills and discover mathematical talents in the country.//by Josh Santos and Geraldine Tingco
