Four Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas students made the country proud by beating tough global competition in snaring the fourth prize in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF) in San Jose, California.

The competition involved 1,611 young scientists from 59 countries, regions and territories. This year, the Philippine delegation was made up of six students from secondary schools across the country who produced the top entries at the 13th Intel Philippine Science Fair, held at the University of the Philippines Diliman last February.
