MANILA (UPDATED) -- Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo on Wednesday received his brand new condominium unit worth P32-M from property giant Megaworld, along with a P3 million cash bonus -- a reward for his historic feat in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Yulo became the first Filipino athlete to win multiple gold medals in a single Olympics when he ruled both the vault and the floor exercise finals in men's artistic gymnastics.

His achievement made sure that the Philippines had its best ever performance in the Olympics, after boxers Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio won bronzes in their respective divisions.

Alliance Global President and CEO Kevin Tan personally accompanied Yulo to his new home in McKinley Hill in Taguig, which even had a coffee table designed like an Olympic gold medal.

Located in one of Megaworld’s premier residential properties, the three-bedroom condo unit is complete with parking, appliances, furniture and fixtures. It even had frames of the front pages of several newspapers featuring his historic olympic victories in the hallway.

After touring his condo, Yulo proceeded to greet the McKinley Hill Community, making a water entrance at the Venice Grand Canal Mall by riding a gondola all the way to the stage. He was joined there by Gymnastics Association of the Philippines Cynthia Carreon.

Megaworld originally planned to gift Yulo with a two-bedroom unit worth P24 million after the 24-year old gymnast clinched the gold for the men’s floor exercise, but the company later upgraded its reward after Yulo won a second gold medal during the vault finals.

According to Yulo, he is very grateful for all the prizes he is receiving from both the government and the private sector— promising to value them and take care of them.

He also thanked everyone, all of his fans, who came out to see him. He is especially grateful and overwhelmed to hear some sports analysts calling him the greatest Filipino athlete of all time.

And although he is set to rest for a bit, he is determined to prove his talent once again at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.
