NOI.PH announces Phl team for 32nd Int’l Olympiad in Informatics

Wazzup Pilipinas!

 

The National Olympiad in Informatics - Philippines (NOI.PH), which organizes the national competition and training camp in preparation for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), recently announced the four-man pool to wear the national colors in the global informatics plum.

 

Leading the pack is IOI silver and bronze medalist and 2020 NOI.PH champion, Dan Alden Baterisna of De La Salle University Senior High School, along with 1st runner up, Steven Chua of British School Manila. Both secured the two slots with their victory last August.

 

Joining them are Steven Reyes of Saint Jude Catholic School and Dion Stephan Ong of the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School, which coincidentally placed 3rd and 4th, respectively, in the national competition. Reyes and Ong, however, earned their keeps after the training camp.

 

Now on its 32nd run, the IOI is the most prestigious informatics competition in the world, and will be done fully online this year. The contest was originally set in July in Singapore and was moved to September 21-22.

 

The Department of Science and Technology – Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI), which supports the country’s participation in the IOI, lauded NOI.PH for leading the charge in finding the best bets to represent each Filipino into the world stage.

 

“We congratulate our national team members as well as NOI.PH for building the most competitive lineup possible. We hope that our contingents can not only put up a great fight but also inspire others students to pursue informatics and analytics,” Biyo remarked.

Akbayan Youth: Military, police should explain links with Facebook takedown of accounts

 

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Akbayan Youth called for the military and police to explain their links with Facebook's takedown of accounts and pages for coordinated inauthentic behavior on Tuesday. "The military and police have a lot of explaining to do. At a time when China is gaining control over our territory, our power grids and soon our telecommunications system, why is our military distracting itself with fake Facebook accounts to attack youth and students?" Akbayan Youth chairperson Dr. RJ Naguit said. "The report cites that suspicious online activities heightened during the debates on the Anti-Terror Act in 2019. From the looks of it, it seems that our uniformed personnel are more concerned about spreading propaganda against critics rather than protecting the Filipino people," Naguit said. "The House and Senate needs to hold the military and police to account during the budget hearings for 2021. We need to know that not a single centavo of taxpayers' money is being used to endanger the lives of the youth," Naguit said. "We need to know the truth about this network-- why it's built and how it's funded-- to hold the government accountable. If it's part of preparations for Terror Act crackdowns, it's time for the Supreme Court to act and take the Terror Act down," Dr. Naguit said.
