The APMO is an annual regional mathematics competition for high school students. Contestants have to hurdle a four-hour paper consisting of five original problems. Unlike the International Mathematical Olympiad, this competition is administered locally by organizers from participating countries from the Asian Pacific Region. While there is no limit on the number of local participants who can take the exam, only the top 10 students from each country are considered for the official scores. This year’s overall results are posted in https://apmo-official.org/year_report/2022. The organizer for the Philippines is the Mathematical Society of the Philippines.
