Five Ateneo de Manila Junior High School students won medal awards in the 2022 Hong Kong International Mathematical Olympiad (HKIMO) Philippines Heat Round, which was held online on May 29, 2022. Winning gold awards were incoming grade 10 student Lance Abarquez (La Storta/9-Fernandes in School Year 2021-2022) and incoming grade 9 student Miggy Dugan (Montserrat/8-Ireland), who competed in the secondary 3 and secondary 2 divisions, respectively.

Bagging bronze was Aegean Nakila (Montserrat/7Goto), who competed in the secondary 1 division.
The HKIMO provides a platform for pupils with a strong interest in mathematics, and is open to all students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. It is different from other math Olympiads in that topics are standardized such as Logical Thinking, Arithmetic/Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics. Its goals are to stimulate and foster young people’s interest in learning mathematics, strengthen their creative thinking, and widen their international perspective. The HKIMO Final Round will be held on August 27, 2022, and is expected to attract more than a thousand participants from countries such as Australia, Bulgaria, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.
