Recognizing greatness
All the sacrifices and hard work are beginning to reap rewards for the Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz. The athlete is being lauded and recognized by the government and various private sector entities for her latest achievement.
Government officials and the country’s top business executives are slated to give nearly P50 million in cash incentives to Diaz in recognition and appreciation for giving the country its first Olympic gold medal since it joined the games in 1924.
There are numerous non-cash incentives as well as like a house and lot, condominium unit, unlimited miles on airlines, and even free meals for life at various restaurants.
