Lawyer Questioned Hidilyn Diaz Asking Funds for Paris Olympics

Lawyer Gives Message to Hidilyn Diaz Over Funds Problem for Paris Olympics

A lawyer questioned Olympic gold medalist weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz after revealing that she is experiencing financial problems again.

On Facebook, an attorney by the name of Nick Nañgit reminds Hidilyn that she won a sizable sum of money when she won the first gold medal for the Philippines in weightlifting for 55 kg in 97 years in 2021. The attorney kept probing Hidilyn about her financial difficulties.

“Ang dami mo nang tinanggap na hindi kikitain ng pangkaraniwang mamamayan, tapos may problema ka pa rin sa pondo? Saan napunta ang kaperahan mo, at ano ba pinagkakagastusan mo? Kulang pa ba ang suportang pinansiyal na ibinibigay ng pamahalaan sa iyong training?” the lawyer asked.

Additionally, it was stated that before going public with her issue, Hidilyn would have privately discussed it with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC). “kaya hingi ka na lang kay la loba negra o sa ninang mong sinasamba ng mga insekto! Kaloka!!!” the lawyer added to his post.

Hidilyn stated in an interview that she considered giving back with the money she won as the gold medalist of the Philippines, which totaled more than 31-M. However, she also considered what her life would be like after her weightlifting career.

“Iniisip kasi ng iba, ‘oo nga nanalo ka na ng gold. ‘Yung napanalunan mo ‘yun ang gagastusin mo.’ Pero siyempre pa’no ka makakapag-ipon para sa sarili mo, after ng career mo, paano na lang? Hindi siya sustainable kung ‘yung ipinanalo ko ang gagastusin ko,” he said.

Hidilyn revealed in her interview with Boy Abunda that she is currently looking for a source of money for her training in order to prepare for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Hidilyn admitted that the resources provided to her for her training and efforts to win another gold medal for the Philippines were insufficient.
