MANILA – Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino filed a resolution commending 2024 Paris Olympics double gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
Yulo obtained two golds from the Paris Olympics after being the top scorer in men’s floor exercise and men’s vault.
Tolentino filed two resolutions, one commending Yulo and the other would be giving Yulo the Senate Medal of Excellence.
“Mr. Yulo made history for Philippine gymnastics by becoming the country’s first double Olympic gold medalist, showcasing his grit and talent as he reigned supreme in the floor exercises and men’s vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics,” the resolution read.
“Ito ay mahalagang hakbang upang kilalanin at ipagdiwang ang tagumpay ng bansa. Ang tagumpay ni Caloy ay hindi lamang patunay ng kanyang dedikasyon at kahusayan, kundi pati na rin ng galing at talento ng mga Pilipino sa pandaigdigang entablado!” Tolentino said in a post.
Senate Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada and Sen. Joel Villanueva also filed resolutions.
“Mr. Yulo has made the country proud for his record-breaking achievements at the 2024 Summer Olympics. His world-class talent, unwavering determination and commitment to excellence, and masterful performance merit the highest recognition from this august chamber,” Villanueva’s resolution read.
