It has been quite long since Makati Science has grabbed a place in the Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge, Regional level. But now, after getting gold in the sectoral competition, a team of fourth year students achieve a third place, beating other powerhouses in the region.
Joanne Jennifer Tan and Ronniel Bequio comprised the team that competed in Chiang Kai Shek Colleger, last February 26, coming behind the two powerhouses Chiang Kai Shek College and Grace Christian College coming in first place and second place respectively. The other competing schools included St. Jude Catholic School, UNO High School, Valenzuela Science High School, Ateneo de Manila High School, Quezon Science High School, and Philippine Science High School-Main.
Makati Science obtained a final score of 53, while Chiang Kai Shek and Grace Christian had a score of 60 and 54 respectively. Ateneo came next with 51 points, Quezon Science with 48 points, and Philippine Science with 45 points.
After the contest had ended with superb results, Tan suddenly burst into tears of joy after realizing that they will leave a lasting legacy and glory for Makati Science.
This victory not only means success but also a challenge for the lower years. They have big pressure on their shoulder pressed upon them to not only do well in Mathematics but also win competitions and continue the legacy our fourth year students will leave.
“Now, it’s your turn, “ Bequio said.
