It was definitely an amazing achievement for the Grade 11 student who studies at Holy Rosary College in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna. While he had to spend his birthday away from his family, his dad revealed that this was not the first time it happened.

Back when Elean was younger, he also spent a birthday away from his family. At the time, he was in Grade 6 and had to attend the International Mathematics and Science Olympiad in Cavite. This is truly a brilliant young man!
