Pres. Bongbong Marcos Speaks on Pursuit To Produce More Filipino Olympic Medalists
BONGBONG MARCOS – The Philippine President said that he will ask for some tips from Carlos Yulo in making more Olympic medalists.
The Filipino nation celebrated the victory of Carlos Edriel Yulo, a gymnast, in the 2024 Paris Olympics. He won two (2) gold medals in the Summer Games — truly making a record in the history of sports.
Yulo won his first gold medal when he competed in men’s floor exercise on Saturday. Scoring 15.00, he secured the first gold medal of the Philippines in the 2024 Olympics held in Paris, France.
On Sunday, Carlos Yulo competed in men’s vault events. Far from his expectations, he won another Olympic gold medal for the Philippines. He is the first Filipino athlete to secure a back-to-back gold win in the Olympics.
President Bongbong Marcos was quick to congratulate Carlos Yulo on his first gold medal win in the Olympics. The Chief Executive expressed his belief that Yulo’s Olympics gold medal win in the floor exercise is not his last — which was immediately followed by another Olympics gold medal win in the vault events.
Following his performance that brings pride and honor to the Philippines, Carlos Yulo is undeniably one of the best people to consult with in making Olympic medalists. Based on a report on ABS-CBN News, Pres. Bongbong Marcos plans to talk to Yulo in his pursuit of making more Filipino Olympic medalists.
Speaking at an interview in Masantol, Pampanga, Pres. Bongbong Marcos said that he does not see any reason for the government not to give more incentives to Carlos Yulo. According to him, Yulo deserves “everything that anybody is willing to give him”.
Pres. Marcos believes that Yulo already having P20 million is more than enough financially. According to the Chief Executive, his interest is for the country to be able to produce more Olympic medalists.
The President stressed that Yulo is the “best person” to consult about the pursuit to produce more Olympic medalists. Based on the report, when they see each other, he intends to ask Caloy on how can the government help to produce more medalists in Olympic games.
“I will ask Caloy Yulo kung ano ba talaga sa palagay nya, ano pa ang pwedeng gawin ng pamahalaan para dumami ang ating medalya,” he said.
Yulo is set to receive at least P33 million cash reward from different sources. Megaworld also vowed to give Carlos a Php 32-million worth condo unit with parking, furniture, and fixtures.
