🇵🇭 Introducing the Philippine Team to the International Olympiad in AI (IOAI), the Asia-Pacific Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (APOAI), and the Northern Eurasian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (NEOAI)! 🎉

After months of rigorous selection -- spanning Eliminations, Semifinals, Finals, and a full Selection Round -- we are proud to announce the students who will carry the Philippine flag to three of the most prestigious AI competitions in the world.

Our tasks covered the full breadth of modern AI: machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, large language models, audio, image generation, and more -- each round more demanding than the last. These students rose to every challenge.

To our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medalists, and our Honorable Mention awardees -- congratulations. You earned this.

To everyone who competed in the Selection Round: thank you. The level of talent and dedication we witnessed from February through today has been nothing short of extraordinary, and we are incredibly proud of every single one of you.

What comes next:
🏅 NEOAI 2026 (Northern Eurasian Olympiad in AI) -- Hosted by Russia's Central University | May 2025
🏆 APOAI 2026 -- Hosted by China | June 2026
🌍 IOAI 2026 -- At-Home Round | July 2026, followed by the Onsite Round in Astana, Kazakhstan | August 2–8, 2026

We now turn our eyes toward preparation.

If you or your organization would like to support the Philippine Team on this journey, we are open to sponsors who can help defray competition costs. Every contribution goes directly toward giving our students the best possible chance on the world stage.

We thank our sponsors so far: Joy-Nostalg, Times Paint, and the Tiu Family.

We also extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the schools, teachers, and coaches, and of course the parents and families.

To our team: the Philippines is behind you. Go show the world what we're made of. 💙

IOAI PH is hosted by the Ateneo Business Insights Laboratory for Development - BUILD of the John Gokongwei School of Management, Ateneo de Manila University

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐈𝐑 | Hope

Sometimes I hope to see you again,
on some random day,
in a place where fate decides to cross our paths once more.

I imagine what it would feel like—
seeing your face,
hearing your voice,
and feeling that rush of everything we used to be.

But at the same time, I’m scared.
Scared of how you’d react.

Would you smile when you see me?
Would you look me in the eyes and hug me?
Or would you walk past me,
like I’m just another stranger,
mesmerized by your beauty?

I tried to steady myself.
Tried to speak,
to reach out to you.

But you just walked past,
like we were strangers.
And as you did, memories flooded back,
like the wind rushing through the sky.

I imagined myself trying to gather my composure,
turning back,
watching you walk farther and farther away.

And that’s when I realized—
𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞.
Just me, missing what we once had,
the friendship we used to love.

𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆, 𝑭𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒖𝒂𝒓𝒚.

the clock is ticking, only 3 days till Christmas—so the question is : tapos na ba kayo mag-caroling mga ga, o may last round pa mamaya?

As christmas ticks closer, let us be reminded of what it truly means: love, joy, hope. Jokes aside— this season is about giving, family, and good vibes.

So enjoy the food, laugh at the chaos, hug your loved ones, and maybe… sing a song or two off-key.

Take a pause, soak in the decorations, the smells, the laughter, and all the tiny surprises—these are the moments that make this season truly special.

𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗥'𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗔𝗣 | What a day! The recap video of World Teacher's Day is finally here! Celebrated on October 2, 2025, highlights are the heartwarming moments such as students giving gifts and messages to their teachers. The standout performances included the Indagalak group's rendition of "Dilaw" by Maki, which generated exciting vibes, and a smooth harana by Jhareign and Mira from Kundiman that captivated the audience. Our teachers enjoyed a break from their usual roles by participating in entertaining games, notably pinoy henyo and a humorous message relay, showcasing their competitive spirit. The celebration concluded with a special awarding of certificates to our dedicated student teachers, recognizing their efforts in taking on the role of teachers and their hard work. This Teacher's Day was filled with affection and memorable moments, highlighting students' appreciation for their teachers through gifts. Despite occasional challenges with students, the love and care for teachers, regarded as second mothers, remains strong. Happy World Teacher's Day to all dedicated and loving teachers!
