FIRST-EVER GOLD 🇵🇭

Jerome Austin Te has made Philippine history after winning the country’s first-ever gold medal at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), ending an 11-year wait since the Philippines first joined the global programming competition in 2015.

Representing the Philippines at the 38th International Olympiad in Informatics, Te earned 361.12 points at IOI 2026 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, placing within the gold-medal threshold among 375 contestants representing 92 participating members. Official IOI results confirm his historic gold.

The achievement completes an extraordinary four-year IOI journey for the Jubilee Christian Academy student:

🥉 2023 — Bronze
🥈 2024 — Silver
🥉 2025 — Bronze
🥇 2026 — Gold

Before 2026, the Philippines had participated in IOI since 2015 and had accumulated four silver medals and 15 bronze medals, but no gold. Te changed that record in Tashkent.

His path in competitive programming began years earlier, progressing from Scratch to Python and eventually self-learning C++. NOI.PH previously shared that his interest in problem-solving led him into competitive programming alongside mathematics competitions.

From bronze to silver, back to bronze, and finally gold, Te’s four-year run now stands as a milestone in the Philippines’ history at one of the world’s premier competitions for young programmers.

🇵🇭 The Philippines finally has its first IOI gold medal.
