00:00Let's go back to the warm welcome to the Pinoy Olympians.
00:04Among the long-awaited supporters, the father of the Pinoy Olympians,
00:10Olympic double gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
00:13He's watching live. Ian Cruz, Ian.
00:20Emil, you know, when we passed in front of Taft Avenue earlier,
00:23the parade of the athletes in the lead by Carlos Yulo,
00:27we felt like we were in the Olympic venue because of the huge crowd.
00:32And among those who were waiting for that parade,
00:35the very father of Carlos Yulo.
00:41At 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
00:43this is the signal of students, employees, and residents of Taft Avenue in Malate
00:47to converge and wait for the parade of athletes fighting in the Paris Olympics.
00:52The excitement cannot be hidden, especially among the students,
00:55the school administrators who watched the parade immediately
00:58to show their support, especially to the two-time Olympic gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
01:03One of the women we met, Carlos, is a neighbor in Malate,
01:06and she hopes that our champion and his family will be more united.
01:11Some students were even tumbling like Yulo in the Olympics.
01:15The convoy of Carlos, and the center island of Taft Avenue
01:19between Pedihil and Malbar Street, was filled with people.
01:22Some of them were very big.
01:25When the athletes passed by, we noticed some children
01:28who went up to the float and signed their worn clothes
01:31to the idol of Carlos Yulo.
01:34They were happy and even gave a wipe to the signed clothes before going down to the float.
01:38And Emil, among those who were waiting for the parade,
01:40Carlos' father, Mark Andrew,
01:42brought a banner where it was written,
01:45Caloy, your father is here.
01:47Carlos' father brought some people while cheering
01:50for his son.
01:52At the same time, he gave a thumbs-up
01:55and followed Caloy in the direction of his father.
01:59Emil, the excitement that we saw,
02:01it was very inspiring to our children.
02:05That's why many are hoping that this will be followed
02:08by the next Carlos Yulo of our country.
02:11Back to you, Emil.
02:13Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
