COTABATO CITY, Philippines – A first year chemical engineering student of the Mindanao State University (MSU) in Marawi City will represent the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to the National Statistical Quiz to be held in Manila on December 5.
 
The 17-year old Traodio Acuemo II is now ARMM’s official contender to the quiz after emerging champion in the November 14 regional-level contest in Cotabato City.
 
The regional and national statistical quizzes are activities of the National Statistical Office (NSO).
 
Suod Barodi, regional director of NSO for ARMM, said Acuemo’s having topped the regional contest is the basis for him to participate, as ARMM’s entry, to the December 5 national statistical contest in Metro Manila.
 
Acuemo defeated seven regional finalists from different ARMM provinces in the regional contest held at the D & M Resto here.
 
The ARMM covers Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, which are both in mainland Mindanao, the island provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi, and the cities of Lamitan and Marawi.
 
Barodi said the nationwide contest is an annual activity of the NSO, which aims to encourage college students to become mathematicians.
 
Jane Rachel Martin of the Upi Agricultural School in North Upi town in Maguindanao, and Jehan Abas, also from the state-run MSU in Marawi City, bagged the second and third places, respectively, during Thursday’s regional quiz here.
 
The travel of Acuemo and his coach to Manila for the national contest next month will be sponsored by the NSO, according to Barodi.
 
He said the five top winners in the national statistical contest will receive trophies and cash prizes.
