Locsin toyed on the idea as he praised Diaz for her record-breaking feat, the first-ever Filipino athlete to capture a gold medal in the Olympic’s nearly 100-year history.
“Oh my God, she is worth 1000 times her weight in Gold. The first-ever. Our country owes her an impossible to repay debt of honor,” Locsin said in a tweet Tuesday morning.
The foreign affairs chief said he wants to get the opinion of the Philippine Historical Commission about the idea of creating a sculpture and his preference for a Swiss sculptor to undertake it so it will not look like a winged reptile that exists during the Jurassic period.
