4 young Filipinos win in world science tilt - Manila Bulletin

This year’s Philippine delegation was made up of six students from secondary schools across the country who produced the top entries at the 13th Intel Philippine Science Fair, held at the University of the Philippines Diliman last February. Rounding out the Philippine delegation were Hanna Escobido and Brayl Ymbol, who competed in the Physical Sciences category.

The Philippines has been successful at the Intel ISEF in the past.

In 2009, two students from the Philippine Science High School were awarded a fourth place prize for their work on the cancer-inhibiting properties of bacteria found on a certain species of seaweed.

Since 1998, when the Philippines first participated in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, the country has garnered a total of 18 Grand Awards and 10 Special Awards, including this year’s grand wards.
