The House of Representatives will award P3 million to Carlos Yulo for winning a gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday, Representative Elizaldy Co, chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations, said. "In recognition of his historic accomplishment, the House of Representatives is honored to award Carlos Yulo P3,000,000. This reward reflects our support for his continued success and our commitment to fostering Filipino talent on the international stage," Co said in a statement. Co said Yulo's "dedication and hard work have brought immense pride to our nation." "Carlos has shown that with determination and resilience, Filipinos can excel and achieve greatness in any field. Napatunayan ni Carlos na kayang makipagsabayan ng mga Pilipino sa buong mundo," he added. (He proved that Filipinos can be at par with others in the world.) "Siya ay isang inspirasyon sa lahat ng kabataan at sa mga nangangarap. Siya ang patunay na kapag may sipag at tiyaga, walang imposible," Co said, congratulating the Filipino gymnast. (He is an inspiration to the youth and to all those with dreams. He is proof that when one has diligence and patience, nothing is impossible.) Yulo, 24, became the first-ever Filipino gymnast to ever reach the podium in any edition of the Summer Games, seizing the gold medal in the men's floor exercise at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Saturday at the Bercy Arena.
Carlos Yulo has made the Philippines proud, as it is a historic moment for his country. Congratulations!
