Their victories prove that “our medium of instruction is at par with the teaching all over the world,” Mayor Jose Espinosa III said.

Noting that most of the winners were from private schools, Espinosa hoped that more students from public schools can compete.

But, at the same time, he acknowledged that the city government has limits when it comes to supporting student competitions.

“We can only extend financial support if it’s a local event,” said the mayor.

But Espinosa assured that the city government provides public schools training through the School Board fund.
