00:23When the plane landed at the Villamor Air Base last night,
00:27the smile of the Filipino athletes did not disappear,
00:29which gave pride to the country after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:34The proud Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulo was elevated to the Philippines
00:38along with the bronze medalist Esty Petesho.
00:41Their relatives and supporters smiled and hugged them.
00:46The cute bonding moment of the Filipino Paul Volter E.J. Obriana was also celebrated
00:50along with some students.
00:52The Filipino Olympics was literally a smile of victory,
00:54which did not miss the opportunity to take a selfie with the athletes.
01:01When it came to Malacanang,
01:03they were one by one greeted and hugged
01:05on the red carpet of President Bongbong Marcos and the First Family.
01:11At the awarding ceremony,
01:12the 20 million pesos in Yulo's prize was given by the Office of the President.
01:18He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit.
01:20The 2 million pesos in the bronze medalist Esty Petesho and Ira Villagas' prize
01:24was also given by the President.
01:27They also have a Presidential Citation.
01:30The President also has a gift for the Filipino Olympics
01:32that he was not able to take home the medal.
01:34As long as the Olympics are held,
01:35let's give one million, right?
01:45The Office of the President will match what you will give
01:48so that at least we will be able to go to the Olympics.
01:52Aside from that,
01:53because of our recognition to all those who helped,
01:58the coaching staff,
01:59we will also give half a million pesos to them.
02:03The Palace prepared a very festive dinner
02:05that was greeted by the athletes and their loved ones.
02:08The Filipino team also hosted the Grand Staircase in Malacanang.
02:12Aside from the Office of the President,
02:13there is also a 6 million pesos for Yulo Camara.
02:16He also added 8 million 10,000 pesos.
02:19Ni hao, Speaker Martin Romualdez.
02:21We will conduct a review of our legislation,
02:25among others, Republic Act 10699,
02:28the National Athletes and Coaches Benefits Incentives Act.
02:33We need to amend it
02:37so that we can give support
02:39and help to all our athletes.
02:43Earlier, there was also a grand welcome for Yulo Satagi
02:45where he rode a gondola.
02:47There, the condo unit in BGC was formally turned over to Yulo.
02:52The three-bedroom unit is fully furnished
02:53and is worth 32 million pesos.
02:56We will take care of it
02:57and we will take care of the blessings of God
03:00so that we can give it to the good people.
03:03He also donated an art piece
03:05and 3 million pesos.
03:07Yulo is very thankful
03:09to other Filipino Olympic medalists
03:11for their success and support.
03:12I still can't believe
03:14that I was able to receive two gold medals.
03:18I am very thankful to God.
03:21I thought about winning a medal
03:24because of the support they gave us.
03:26I thought it would be a waste if I didn't win anything.
03:30In my 17 years as a national athlete,
03:33I saw that they supported us even more.
03:37But more than the awards,
03:38a president gave more support to the athletes.
03:41Philippine Olympic Committee President Bambal Tolentino
03:45believes that our athletes will go further.
03:47He will support the recruitment of foreign coaches
03:50and the opening of more international competitions
03:53so that the ability of Filipino athletes will be clearer.
03:56Let's accept the reality that
03:59we can hire from developed countries,
04:04more developed countries,
04:05for foreign coaches.
04:08And look at the result.
04:12We broke the record.
04:15For two consecutive Olympics,
04:18we were number one in Southeast Asia.
04:21For GMA Integrated News,
04:22Ivan Mejrini for 24 Hours.
