Press Release - Sen Nancy Binay's statement Carlos Yulo winning the gold medal in Paris

Pagpupugay sa unang gymnast gold medalist ng bansa, Carlos Yulo!

Isang bansa ang nakiiyak, nakihiyaw at nakipalakpak sa makasaysayang araw ni Caloy sa Paris Olympics.

Caloy overcame various setbacks and challenges, which included a change of coach and moving back to the Philippines from Japan for his training, to get to this moment.

You are a shining example, Caloy, of how we can strive to achieve balance in our lives despite the pursuit of glory--na hindi kailangan isakripisyo ang pamilya at kaligayahan, na sa katotohanan ay makatutulong ang mga ito upang bigyan tayo ng kapanatagan, lakas, at tibay ng loob para harapin ang pinakamatinding hamon na hinaharap natin.

We all await your victorious return, and we will be sure to welcome you with all the warmth and pride that we can muster.

Maraming salamat sa pagbabandera ng kayang abutin ng Pilipino, Caloy. Mabuhay ka!
