Small Island, Big Dreams: Camiguin Students Shine on the World Stage

COURTE: PIA CAMIGUIN 

Camiguin students have competed in international events in science, mathematics, English, and news anchoring, representing schools in the province in various academic competitions. From Camiguin National High School (CNHS) to other institutions across the island, learners have joined the International Equilibrium Science Olympiad, Hong Kong International Mathematical Olympiad, and more.

Meanwhile, this small province keeps producing big results, proving talent isn't bound by geography.

Getting there isn't easy. Coaches and school leaders say participating students undergo qualifying rounds, review sessions, and both online and face-to-face training before advancing further.

Principal Doris Yu notes CNHS's junior science curriculum gives students an early edge, while coach Michelle Matamontos adds that exposure to tougher questions builds real confidence.

Grade 9's Glorithea Yraia Prado competed in Hong Kong, calling it "a dream come true." Meanwhile, Julia Marice Taypa found the English Masterclass Olympiad stressful yet rewarding.

Gold medalist JB Jiro De Larosa now eyes Political Science, English, and eventually law—proof these competitions shape futures, not just trophies.
