Pinoy rules world Math competition
An 11-year-old Filipino boy defeated 191 students from all over the world to emerge as the individual champion in the four-day World Mathematics Team Championship (WMTC), which concluded here Sunday.
The individual feat of Farrel Eldrian Wu, a Grade 6 pupil of the MGC New Life Christian Academy in Taguig City, was the “icing on the cake” for the Philippines as its primary school team wound up second place over all in the contests held from November 2-6.
Wu bested competitors from different countries, including the US and China, to win the gold medal in the primary division individual contest held at the Jiuhua Resort and Convention Center, China.
