The Philippine Team showcased its brilliance at the 14th Asian Science and Mathematics Olympiad for Primary Schools (ASMOPSS) International Round held in Banyuwangi, Indonesia, from November 10 to 16, 2024.

Organized by the Surya Institute and hosted by the Local Government of Banyuwangi Regency, the ASMOPSS aimed to foster a love for science and mathematics among young learners. The competition was designed to promote international collaboration and strengthen ties among countries in the Asian region, focusing on enhancing primary education in these critical subjects.
"ASMOPSS has always been one of AMSLI’s favorite competitions because of its unique format, where math wizards and science enthusiasts join forces in explorations and problem-solving activities. This distinctive approach allows students to develop not just their analytical skills but also their collaborative abilities," remarked Mrs. Rechilda Villame, President of AMSLI and Head of the Delegation, as she expressed her enthusiasm for the team's performance in this prestigious competition.
Mrs. Villame further congratulated the Philippine delegates on their outstanding achievements, emphasizing that the students' success is a testament to their hard work and passion. She extended her gratitude to the parents and respective schools for their unwavering support, which played a crucial role in the team's accomplishments.
