A
second year student of Bohol Wisdom School won in the 7th
Philippine National Chemistry Olympiad (PNCO) in Manila.
The
son of Franklin and Zenaida Bolo, Kenneth, bested 20 junior
contestants from the different prestigious schools all over
the country as the third placer in the practical exam held
at De La Salle University-Manila last February 16.
When
asked about not having a chemistry class, he said that he
considered his lessons in the Integrated Science during his
freshman year. The whole audience also wowed at this student's
ability since he is the only winner coming from a Chinese
school while all the others came from Philippine Science High
Schools.

He
himself admitted that primarily, his delight for reading
is contributory to this surprising victory. His early
exposure to the Internet also helped.
During
the contest, both his mother and Josefina Narit, his
teacher-coach were worried because every time there
is a test or a challenge, he finished first. There seems
to be no trace of apprehension on his part.
Apparently
confident, Kenneth has this in mind, "I have to
win this so that I can have my new computer." Simple
it may seem, but this prompted our young chemist to
aim for the win.
