| The Philippine team in the Paris Olympics got a bonus from ICTSI. Ivan Saldajeno |
PARAÑAQUE—It has been 40 days since Carlos Yulo completed a two-gold haul in the Paris Olympics, but ICTSI continued the euphoria.
On Friday, the Enrique Razon-owned port management company handed Yulo another megabucks bonus for his historic Olympic run.
Represented by executive vice president Christian Gonzalez, ICTSI gave PHP10 million to Yulo in an event at the Waterside Restobar of Solaire.
"Super overwhelming and unexpected. Nagpapasalamat ako sa mga nakakataas talaga na tumutulong and nakitaan yung mga hard work namin and yung mga pinag-praktisan namin nang mahabang panahon, nabibigyan po nila ng ganoong parangal," Yulo said.
Also present were Philippine Olympic Committee president Bambol Tolentino, gymnastics president Cynthia Carrion-Norton, and some other Philippine team members to Paris, including bronze medalists Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio.
Both female boxers also received PHP2 million each from ICTSI.
The rest of the Philippine team did not leave Solaire's main branch empty-handed as ICTSI gave them PHP200,000 each as well.
"On behalf ng mga kasamahan ko na non-medalists, kahit papaano, nakita nila at na-appreciate pa rin for hard work namin. Thank you so much sa ICTSI at kay sir Enrique na nagbigay pa rin ng incentives para sa amin," said Eumir Marcial, whose early exit stunned the boxing community.
