Julian Estigoy, a remarkable 4-year-old Filipino boy in the UAE, has amazed netizens by flawlessly reciting the periodic table of elements in a video shared with The Global Filipino Magazine. Born to parents Mary Grace V. Estigoy, a Senior Admin, and Russel C. Estigoy, a Head Chef, Julian has demonstrated exceptional memory skills since infancy. Featured in 2023 for his talent in memory retention, Julian’s abilities were evident as early as 14 months when he could identify world flags and capital cities.
Despite his extraordinary gifts, Julian’s parents ensure he leads a balanced life. Concerned about his development, they sought advice from a pediatrician, who suggested it was too early to assess his IQ. To support his growth, they enrolled him in an online class to encourage social interaction with peers.
