Math whiz clinches three-peat win at 23rd PMO

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Grade 12 student Bryce Ainsley Sanchez of Grace Christian College bested over two dozen other finalists at the 23rd Philippine Mathematical Olympiad (PMO) held online last March 19 to 20, earning the top title for the third year in a row.

The honor was hard-earned: first runner up Steven Reyes of Saint Jude Catholic School, also a Grade 12 student, is a consistent national finalist in previous PMOs as well as a silver medalist in the International Physics Olympiad in 2018 and 2019. Meanwhile, the second runner up, Grade 10 student Raphael Dylan Dalida of Philippine Science High School – Main Campus, was the first runner up in last year’s PMO as well as a bronze medalist alongside Sanchez at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) the same year.

“Bryce’s achievement is all the more notable and exemplary given the challenges that everyone—most especially students like him and his fellow competitors—have had to face over the past year,” said DOST Science Education Institute Director Josette Biyo. “They all truly deserve to be called Filipino Olympians,” she added.

“Mathematics truly knows no bounds, and our students and competitors are a living testament to this,” enjoined Mathematical Society of the Philippines (MSP) president Emmanuel Cabral.

The PMO is a long-standing tradition for the MSP, which has been organizing the Olympiad as an annual proving ground for some of the country’s brightest young minds for almost four decades. The competition is the Philippines’ most prestigious nationwide mathematics competition for secondary school students, who compete for the honor of representing the nation at the annual IMO.

Justice Carpio versus injustice Duterte

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Go Justice Carpio! Thank you for fighting for what is ours unlike yung isa dyan!!

Justice Carpio presented good arguments while our president sounded like an idiot mincing ad hominems and non sense. Gusto pa ng debate. Galing ng mayor ng China.

President Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday night said the Philippines' arbitral victory in 2016 against China's massive claims in the West Philippine Sea before the United Nations is just paper fit to be thrown in the trash.

Justice Carpio should start filing an IMPEACHMENT complaint against the current President. Duterte's treasonous actions cannot be disregarded anymore. His defense of China on the WPS row is a clear act of treason. He is choosing to side with China over the Philippines.

Justice Carpio should accept the challenge to put Du30 where he belongs - thrash bin.

I suggest Justice Carpio must accept the challenge of the offer of President Duterte to debate the WPS issue. This will be a positive approach to lay the issue on the table and resolve once and for all.

Too many verbal exchanges on the news and internet already and we are fed up listening and reading the whinings and the blamings, an exercise in futility. The general public will surely undertand thoroughly about the issue when discussed and argued nationwide live on TV.

No other way to call it. Duterte should be IMPEACHED. Justice Carpio et al should initiate the filing and have it endorsed in Congress. They may not have the numbers but at least the people will know how those clowns and puppets in Congress will respond to the call.

It seems the word war between President Duterte and retired Supreme Court senior associate justice Antonio Carpio will not be over soon. 

Let it not be over soon! Let the discussion grow louder to make people realize the emperor has no clothes (or balls ... or a jetski).

The whole nation should encourage BuangNaInutil to do his weekly rants every single day. But before that, Justice Carpio, Amba del Rosario, Trillanes, De5 should keep taunting him.

See what he just revealed last night? Imagine the secrets he'll reveal if he talks every day.

Ret. Justice Carpio would probably slaughter the inutil in a debate. Looking forward to seeing it.

Majority of that debate would probably be the President cursing and ridiculing his opponent's appearance. And if there's a live audience, a joke every now and then to elicit cheers from his loyalists. 

Let the battle or debate begin...

Duterte pro-China versus Justice Carpio pro-Philippines.

Additional services to strengthen Figaro’s communication and connectivity nationwide

(MANILA, PHILIPPINES - APRIL 2021) PLDT Enterprise recently fortified its partnership with Figaro Group as it provides additional digital services that will augment the connectivity and communication requirements of Figaro’s branches nationwide.

Figaro Coffee Systems signed up for PLDT Enterprise’s ISDN PRI Services, with a total of 60 Channels, to complement their already existing Trunk line service in all branches. This is in addition to using BEYOND FIBER, part of PLDT Enterprise solutions that will speed up and further secure their communications and data transmittal processes. With the increased demand for online food deliveries given the pandemic, Figaro can immediately attend to orders and deliveries of their customers since their hotline and network are founded on the reliable services of PLDT Enterprise.

Mitch Locsin, PLDT FVP & Enterprise Revenue Group Head said that, “the additional services that Figaro Group have availed of highlights the continuing solid partnership between PLDT Enterprise and Figaro Group which started in 2015. We both have the shared mission to provide the best quality products and services to our customers, and this latest signing is indicative of the trust and confidence that Figaro Group has placed with PLDT Enterprise.”

“Despite these very challenging times, the food business climate has remained very competitive, particularly for the Figaro Group, and connectivity with our end customers and B2B clients is key to staying successful. PLDT remains our preferred Telco Partner, and the technological advantage that PLDT Enterprise gives us, provides optimal support for our organization to achieve our business goals. The opportunity to gain a competitive advantage by equipping our system with the right technology, and evolve with the emerging trends will help ensure that our products are always easily accessible to our customers. We look forward to an even stronger partnership with PLDT Enterprise in the future,” said Mike Barret, COO of Figaro Group.

Figaro Coffee was established in 1993 by a group of coffee lovers and enthusiasts which served high-quality coffee and delicious pastries in a lounge-like atmosphere. Its championing of local Barako coffee has made it the epitome of what a world-class global homegrown brand can become, with 20 company-owned stores and over 40 franchised outlets. It has since become Figaro Group, having diversified its food service offerings with the acquisition of Angel’s Pizza and Tien Ma’s Taiwanese Cuisine.

Anthony Fernandez, AVP & CRM Head of PLDT Enterprise expressed gratitude on the fortified partnership with Figaro Group, adding that “working together allows us to not only support them technologically, but it also gives us the opportunity to patronize our customers’ products, by bringing Figaro Group’s brands and products into the program for PLDT Group. We look forward to helping them grow their business more, and to succeed alongside PLDT Enterprise.”
