Carlos E. Yulo, a gymnast from the Philippines who won a gold medal at the Olympics, will receive a lot of goodies, including a pricey condo. He will also receive cash and other stuffs.
Interestingly, he didn’t only win a gold medal at this year’s Olympic Games in Paris, but in addition will be given a completely outfitted two-room condo for this unbelievable accomplishment.
The 24-year-old gymnastic specialist left a mark on the world as the first male Olympic gold medalist throughout the entire existence of the Philippines when he won the top award for his floor practice on August 3.
He won two gold medals for his vault routine the following day. He is the only Filipino second athlete to win the top prize. Hidilyn Diaz won the country’s very first gold award at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in 2021 for weightlifting.
The Philippines’ Paris Olympians who returned with a gold medal would each receive a two-bedroom apartment in Megaworld’s McKinley Hill township. This was announced on August 1. At this year’s games, Yulo is currently the only gold medalist for his nation.
McKinley Hill, the city of Taguig’s largest condo development, is worth 24,000,000 Philippine pesos ($414,046 USD).
Meanwhile, Lourdes T. Gutierrez-Alfonso, Megaworld president, stated in a press release,
“This 2024, we are celebrating our 100th year of participating in the Olympic Games, and what a way to celebrate this milestone than by recognizing the superb competitive spirit of our newest Olympic gold medalist and welcoming them to McKinley Hill. As one of the most celebrated addresses in Fort Bonifacio, McKinley Hill is home to several world-class athletes, including members of the Philippine national teams for basketball and football. This makes it a perfect home for Filipino champions who live a life of passion and excellence through and through.”
The Philippine government will also give Yulo 10 million Philippine pesos, or 172,519 USD, in addition to the furnished apartment. The country’s House of Delegates has also promised 6 million Philippine $103,511 USD, as indicated by local Philippines outlet Philstar.
The gold medalist has also received free university credits from the University of Mindanao.
The mayor of Manila, Yulo’s hometown, said in a recent interview that, the city is getting ready to give him a “hero’s welcome” when he gets back from the Olympics. They are getting ready to give Carlos Yulo cash incentives, awards, and symbols of the proud capital city of the Philippines’ eternal gratitude.
