Yulo mentioned after Saturday’s win that he already knew he’d be gifted a home by his nation’s authorities. That incentive is on the desk for all potential gold medalists representing the Philippines.
However, based on one thread on X (previously Twitter), there’s loads extra coming Yulo’s manner:
- A completely furnished two-bedroom condominium valued at 24 million Philippine pesos (~$415,000 USD). Sure, that is along with the free home.
- 10 million in money (~$173,000 USD) from the Philippine Sports activities Fee.
- 3 million in money (~52,000 USD) from the nation’s Home of Representatives.
- A lifetime of free colonoscopies and gastroenterology consultations, however solely as soon as he turns 45. Yulo is 24 years outdated.
- 100,000 Philippine pesos’ price of free furnishings (~$1,730 USD).
- A lifetime of free ramen, free buffets and free meals from quite a few native institutions.
- A lifetime of free engineering design by Nexa Engineering. I don’t know precisely what that’s, however he’s getting a number of it.
We have by no means seen an Olympian from the Philippines win a number of golds, so we expect to find out what else occurs!
Credit score to X consumer @saintnierva for the data, and kudos to Yulo for making historical past.
