When it rains, it pours so they say, and this adage was proven true by Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz.
Fresh from her historic feat at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Japan that gave her more than P50 million in cash rewards and other perks, weightlifter and military reservist Hidilyn Diaz received another reward which came in the form of a rank promotion from the Philippine Air Force (PAF).
