The APMO is an annual regional mathematics competition for high school students who 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. The overall results are posted in http://www.apmo-official.org/2017/ .
The organizer for the Philippines is the Mathematical Society of the Philippines (MSP) which invited the National Finalists of the 19th Philippine Mathematical Olympiad to take the APMO last March 14, 2017, at the Institute of Mathematics, University of the Philippines – Diliman.
