Philippine Geography Olympiad

Philippine Geography Olympiad The premier & largest nationwide inter-high school geography competition in the country. Presented by UP GeogSoc.

PGO is recognized by the International Geographical Union (IGU) as the country's official national geography competition. Philippine Geography Olympiad (PGO) is the premier & largest nationwide geography quiz bee competition for junior and senior high school students in the country. The winners of the event (the champion and the 1st runner-up) become the country's representatives to the annual Int

ernational Geography Olympiad (iGeo). Organized by the members of the Geographic Society of the University of the Philippines (UP GeogSoc), the event has been an excellent venue for high school students to showcase their skills and understanding in the field of geography through a series of friendly scholastic competitions. Since UP GeogSocโ€™s affiliation with the International Association of Young Geographers (IAYG) in 2018, the IAYG has helped in organizing the event as well. The IAYG has also given logistical support to the Filipino representatives at the iGeo. PGO features both written and field examinations, the latter allowing participants and aspiring geographers to experience firsthand the discipline of geography itself and put it into practice.
