00:00It was a proud moment for the Filipino Olympians.
00:07It was a game that the athletes played in different ways.
00:11Raffy Tiba scored!
00:13Raffy!
00:17Emil, it was a hot moment for the Filipinos in the Olympics Homecoming Parade
00:22for the Paris Olympians along Rojas Boulevard and Taft Avenue earlier.
00:31Raffy!
00:33They're waving, shouting, and sometimes dancing.
00:38That's how happy the 16 athletes who joined the Olympic Homecoming Parade were
00:42when thousands of Filipinos flocked to their parade.
00:47In the middle of the parade, some started throwing their T-shirts,
00:51towels, and shoes to sign for the Olympians.
00:54One of the signers of the poster,
00:56despite the large number of people,
00:59was able to sign the poster for the two-time Paris Olympics gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
01:06In the length of the parade,
01:07some followed the convoy as it crossed the length of Rojas Boulevard.
01:12The Philippine Coast Guard and Philippine Air Force helicopters
01:15flew by several times.
01:17The parade lasted for less than two hours.
01:20These construction workers couldn't get down from their homes.
01:24They had to walk from afar.
01:26One of them showed his gymnastics moves
01:29as the Olympians crossed the motorcade.
01:32For the people on Taft Avenue,
01:34the motorcade slowed down.
01:37The motorcade arrived at Rizal Memorial Stadium at 6 p.m.
01:40Despite the long wait,
01:43the Olympians were still happy with their descent on the motorcade track.
01:49The program here at Rizal Memorial Stadium ended quickly,
01:52but the experience at the parade was not only for the athletes,
01:56but also for the Filipinos who watched and waited for the parade.
02:00That's the latest from Rizal Memorial Stadium.
02:03Emil?
02:04Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
