Philippines' Carlos Yulo awarded new home after winning 2 gold medals

(Gray News) - Philippines gymnast Carlos Yulo won two gold medals at the Paris Olympics and now, he is being awarded with a home.

Yulo won the gold medal for his floor routine exercise and another one for his vault routine exercise earlier this month at the Paris Olympics.

Because of his “outstanding achievement,” Yulo is being given a furnished home valued at about $104,000 U.S. dollars.

“Carlos started training at the age of seven and has relentlessly pursued his dream every day since. He embodies grit and perseverance. We celebrate his remarkable achievement of winning two gold medals at the Olympics, which has not only brought glory to our nation but also inspired countless Filipinos,” said Marco R. Antonio, President and CEO of Century Properties Group.

This is the second time Century Properties Group has awarded a home to a Filipino Olympic gold medalist.

In 2021, the company honored Hidilyn Diaz with a house and lot package for her remarkable accomplishments as the Philippines’ first-ever Olympic gold medalist in Tokyo 2020.
