00:01Live from the GMA Network Center,
00:0420 years have passed, 24 hours.
00:13Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:17After a noisy and fun parade on the streets of Manila,
00:22the Filipino Olympians are now at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex
00:26as well as Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
00:31A small program was prepared as a recognition of the achievements of our athletes.
00:37They were welcomed by their loved ones and supporters at the Heroes Welcome Parade.
00:45And live, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:48Sandra.
00:49Yes, Vicky Bellamy.
00:54Oh, Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is very happy here.
00:58And they were all recognized one by one.
01:00After their parade, the athletes were all recognized one by one.
01:09And at the end, of course, our medalists,
01:14with Nesty Petesio,
01:16Ayna Villanueva,
01:17and last but not least, Carlos Yulo.
01:20The program is still ongoing.
01:23And we saw with the audience here,
01:27the relatives, members of the family of our athletes,
01:31and we also saw Carlos Yulo's girlfriend, Chloe, was also here.
01:36Earlier, I just told you,
01:39it was really just 2 p.m. when our audience arrived.
01:44Most of them are young people from different schools.
01:49And they watched the parade through the four screens inside the stadium.
01:58And they had a viewing party because they saw what was happening.
02:04But in between, there were performances,
02:07there was singing,
02:10and that's how Carlos Yulo's life story was released,
02:14through a short feature.
02:17And with the people we saw here,
02:21there were some young athletes from their schools.
02:26And they told them that this event is very important to them.
02:32Because this is not only an inspiration,
02:35but it also gave them a dream
02:37that they would not only be able to participate in the national competition,
02:42but also in the Olympics.
02:44At this point, our gold medalist, Carlos Yulo, will speak.
02:51Here is his speech.
02:54Thank you very much, God, for guiding us,
02:58for giving us the strength to pursue our dreams in life.
03:05I am very proud of the people who are standing here beside me.
03:11The motivation that I get from them and what I learn
03:17is very inspiring.
03:19We will do better in the next competitions.
03:23And you can expect that we will get more medals.
03:28I would like to thank all the people who support us.
03:33I don't know what else to say.
03:36Thank you very much.
03:38God bless us all.
03:49Carlos Yulo!
04:08Thank you very much, Sandra Aguinaldo.
04:13The Philippine Olympics were literally a smile of victory
04:17as they greeted their fellow Filipinos
04:20who were waiting for their supporters in the Heroes Welcome Parade.
04:24And live, we are joined by Joseph Mon.
04:27Joseph!
04:31Yes, Vicky, our fellow Filipinos received a warm welcome
04:34here in our 16th Olympics
04:37that showed their skills in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
04:40Even though it was a hot day earlier this afternoon.
04:49Our fellow Filipinos received a warm welcome
04:52here in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
04:57At 4 p.m., the athletes arrived
05:00eager to see the warm welcome.
05:03Our fellow Filipinos are not surprised
05:05that even though it was a hot day earlier this morning,
05:07they are still waiting for the Olympics.
05:09And when they arrived, they did not hesitate
05:11to show their joy and pride
05:13to the Filipinos who gave glory to our country.
05:17Sixteen athletes joined the floats
05:20led by Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
05:23The athletes were taking selfies with those who were waiting for them.
05:27We are very happy
05:29because he is our champion in the Philippines.
05:32More fun in the Philippines!
05:34Carlos Yulo even did an AA.
05:37Paul Walter Ejay Obiana was not absent
05:40because he had to leave
05:42due to a competition on August 21.
05:44The homecoming parade was organized by the government
05:46as a recognition of the glory given
05:48by all the athletes who participated in the Olympics.
05:50We know that this is our first time
05:53to rise to this level
05:56of such an important competition.
06:01It's like we rose by thousands.
06:05It's our first time to win two gold medals
06:07and two bronze medals
06:09in the history of almost a hundred years
06:11of fighting here in the Olympics.
06:15Various streets in Manila turned to the parade
06:17and the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
06:20It was just the beginning of the victory of the Filipinos.
06:23According to Cinta Carion,
06:24President of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,
06:27she just got married to the gymnastics Olympic team
06:29in Sabac, Los Angeles in 2028
06:32with the two brothers of Yulo.
06:34I'm going to have a team.
06:36Not only Carlos and Yulo,
06:37I want a whole team.
06:39A Philippine team.
06:40With his brother as well.
06:42Carlos and Eldrew.
06:44He will have enough.
06:51Vicky, we need to get used to
06:53the homecoming parade
06:55of our talented athletes.
06:57And just for the sake of the public,
06:59it will be held here in Metro Manila, Pio Campo.
07:01The traffic is a bit slow
07:03because the program is still ongoing
07:05for our Filipino athletes here in Manila.
07:08Vicky?
07:09Thank you very much, Joseph Moro.
07:13Fit for our Olympic heroes,
07:15the warm welcome to them
07:17from Palitpara to Malacanang and Camara.
07:21Golden boy Carlos Yulo
07:23received additional gifts
07:27and was able to go to his favorite condo unit.
07:31Ivan Meirena was able to go there.
07:36Just after the landing of the airplane
07:38at the Villamor Air Base last night,
07:40the smile of the Filipino athletes
07:42that gave pride to the country
07:44just after the 2024 Paris Olympics
07:46did not disappear.
07:47The Olympic double gold medalist
07:49Carlos Yulo was proud of the Philippines
07:51along with the bronze medalist Esty Petesho.
07:54They were welcomed with a smile
07:56by their relatives and supporters.
07:58The cute bonding moment
08:00of the Filipino Paul Volter E.G. Obiana
08:02and his students was also celebrated.
08:04The Filipino Olympians were literally smiling
08:06that they did not miss the opportunity
08:08to take a selfie together.
08:14When it comes to Malacanang,
08:15they were welcomed one by one
08:17in the red carpet of President Bongbong Marcos
08:19and the First Family.
08:22In the awarding ceremony,
08:24the 20 million pesos in Yulo's prize
08:26was given by the Office of the President
08:28of the same importance.
08:30He was also awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit.
08:32The 2 million pesos in the prize
08:34of the bronze medalist Esty Petesho
08:36and Ira Villagas was also given
08:38of the same importance.
08:40They also have a Presidential Citation.
08:42The President also has a gift
08:44for the Filipino Olympian
08:46who did not win the medal.
08:48We will give 1 million.
08:57The Office of the President will match
08:59what you will give
09:01for at least 2 million pesos.
09:05Aside from that,
09:06because of our recognition
09:08of all the help,
09:10the coaching staff,
09:12we will also give half a million
09:14for you.
09:16A festive dinner was prepared by Palacio
09:18which was welcomed by the athletes
09:20and their loved ones.
09:22The Filipino team also posted
09:24on the Grand Staircase in Malacanang.
09:26Aside from the Office of the President,
09:28there is also a 6 million pesos
09:30for Yulo Camara.
09:32It was added by the House Speaker
09:34Martin Romualdez.
09:36We will conduct a review
09:38of our legislation among others
09:40in the Republic Act 10699,
09:42the National Athletes and Coaches
09:44Incentives Act.
09:46We need to amend it
09:50so that it can provide support
09:52and help
09:54to all our athletes.
09:56Earlier, there was a grand welcome
09:58for Yulo in Taguig
10:00where he rode a gondola.
10:02There, the condo unit
10:04in BGC was formally turned over to Yulo.
10:06The three-bedroom unit
10:08worth 32 million pesos is fully furnished.
10:10We will take care
10:12of it.
10:16He was also awarded an art piece
10:18worth 3 million pesos.
10:20Yulo is very thankful
10:22to the other Filipino Olympic medalists
10:24for their support.
10:26I still can't believe
10:28that I was able to win
10:30two gold medals.
10:32I am very thankful to God.
10:34I thought about
10:36winning a medal
10:38because of the support.
10:40It's a waste
10:42if I don't win anything.
10:44In my 17 years of being a national athlete,
10:46I saw that
10:48they supported us.
10:50But more than the awards,
10:52a president gave more support to the athletes.
10:54President Bumble Tolentino
10:56believes that our athletes
10:58can go further.
11:00He will support the acquisition
11:02of foreign coaches
11:04and the opening of more international competitions
11:06so that the Filipino athletes
11:08can go further.
11:10Let's accept the reality
11:12that we can hire
11:14more developed countries
11:18for foreign coaches.
11:22Look at the result.
11:24We broke the record.
11:28For two consecutive Olympics,
11:30we were number one
11:32in Southeast Asia.
11:34For GMA Integrated News,
11:36this is the latest.
12:07For this,
12:09Guo's tax was not paid
12:11when the shares were sold
12:13in the Bawfulan Development
12:15run by the Mayor of Bamba in 2021.
12:17The BIR said,
12:19Capital Gains Tax
12:21and Documentary Stamp Tax
12:23did not pay Guo.
12:25It is clear that there is a tax evasion
12:27in this transaction.
12:29The value of the shares
12:31that he sold
12:33is small.
12:35The amount is around P500,000.
12:37According to the Presidential Anti-Organized
12:39Crime Commission of Paok,
12:41Guo sold 2.5 million shares
12:43in 2021
12:45for P1 per share.
12:47The sale of shares
12:49is really low.
12:51And of course,
12:53it does not match
12:55the property ownership
12:57of the Bawfu Corporation.
12:59That is another aspect
13:01that we are looking at
13:04According to the complaint,
13:06the shares were sold by Guo
13:08and the Corporate Secretary of Bawfulan.
13:10This is the second criminal complaint
13:12against Guo.
13:14He is also facing a Qualified Human Trafficking
13:16Complaint here in the Department of Justice
13:18in connection with the raids
13:20on Zuniwan Technology in March this year.
13:22Aside from the Co-Waranto case
13:24and the cancellation of the birth certificate
13:26issued by the Office of the Solicitor General
13:28and the Material Misrepresentation
13:30case in Comelec.
13:33The cases are multidimensional
13:35but definitely
13:37there is a narrative there
13:39that will have to come out in the end.
13:41So that's the job now of the law enforcement
13:43agencies to help us
13:45with the connections
13:47within
13:49so that the narrative can be completed.
13:51In a statement,
13:53Guo's camp said that they have not yet received
13:55a complaint to respond to the complaint.
13:57It's time to receive it.
13:59They will receive an answer.
14:01For GMA Integrated News,
14:03Sanima Refran,
14:0524 Hours.
14:07To ensure that the
14:09African Swine Fever is not contaminated,
14:11an inspection is required
14:13for those who are allowed to enter
14:15and are allowed to leave
14:17inside and outside the Metro Manila.
14:19This is Bernadette Reyes.
14:25These closed vans
14:27are being placed one by one
14:29to inspect the cargo.
14:31Aside from the documents,
14:33such as the shipping permit and veterinary certificate,
14:35if there is a living pig,
14:37an inspection is required
14:39if it has symptoms of African Swine Fever.
14:41If the animals are okay
14:45but there is no
14:47shipping permit,
14:49that's back to origin.
14:51But even if the shipping permit is okay,
14:53but our quarantine officers
14:55can see that the pig is lethargic.
14:57There are bruises,
14:59there are bruises,
15:01there are symptoms.
15:03This is under the control of our quarantine officers.
15:05The animals can be
15:07condemned
15:09after being tested.
15:11This van was hauled
15:13to the inspection site on Commonwealth Avenue
15:15in Quezon City because
15:17the documents were not enough.
15:19We have an NMIS permit but there is no
15:21FDA
15:23transport permit.
15:25It's like
15:27the disease is not spreading.
15:29We give them 24 hours
15:31to produce the permit.
15:33If there is no permit,
15:35it's a direct confiscation.
15:37Four inspection sites
15:39were placed here in Quezon City
15:41to avoid the spread
15:43of diseases to the animals
15:45such as African Swine Fever.
15:47One of these was placed
15:49in Laloma, Quezon City,
15:51which is considered the legend capital of the Philippines.
15:53There is no problem
15:55if they place it
15:57like that
15:59so that people can be sure
16:01that what they are buying is clean.
16:03Of course, we are also careful.
16:05They won't sell it
16:07if there is a disease.
16:09Their sale is also safe.
16:11There are also inspection sites in Valenzuela,
16:13Laguna, Batangas, and Cavite.
16:15Next week,
16:17the vaccination will start in Batangas.
16:19It's time for the 10,000
16:21ASF vaccines
16:23bought by the government
16:25through emergency procurement.
16:27The program is voluntary
16:29for those who want to be vaccinated.
16:31We have a large repopulation program
16:33in Central Luzon,
16:35most especially
16:37Bulacan and Pampanga area.
16:39We don't want to compromise
16:41our repopulation program
16:43in these areas.
16:45We also don't want
16:47infected people to arrive
16:49here in Southern Luzon.
16:51For GMA Integrated News,
16:53Bernadette Reyes,
16:55Nakatutok 24 Horas.
16:59The government's plan
17:01for assistance programs
17:03under the 2025
17:05National Budget
17:07is bigger.
17:09It is based on the discussion
17:11of the Committee on Finance of the Senate.
17:13It is based on the effect of inflation
17:15that the poor are feeling.
17:17For the poor,
17:19Nakatutok is here.
17:23There is P591.8 billion pesos
17:25for assistance
17:27under the 2025
17:29National Budget.
17:31Our poor constituents are
17:33very sensitive
17:35to the prices of food,
17:37especially the prices of rice.
17:39This is something that I want
17:41to highlight because typically
17:43we only look at the national inflation
17:45that everyone feels.
17:47But it is obvious
17:49that the poorest segment
17:51of our society feels it much greater.
17:53In the budget for 2024
17:55and it will be followed through
17:57in 2025,
17:59there are somewhat what we call
18:01Ayuda programs.
18:03Roughly about
18:05P560 billion
18:07in 2024.
18:09That is
18:11intended to assist
18:1350%
18:15of all families
18:17nationwide.
18:19There are about
18:2113 million families
18:23who should be benefiting
18:25from this.
18:27According to Budget Secretary Amina Pangandaman,
18:29for 2025,
18:31the allocation of four P's
18:33is the biggest, at P114.2 billion pesos.
18:35But
18:37the controversial
18:39Ayuda program
18:41of the DSWD
18:43received P26.7 billion pesos
18:45in 2024.
18:47This is a one-time Ayuda
18:49of P5,000 for families
18:51who earn less than
18:53P23,000 per month.
18:55It should be noted that
18:57there is no support for the 2024 budget
18:59that the Senate passed
19:01but it was included in the Bicameral
19:03Conference Committee.
19:05Other members of the committee did not know about it.
19:07Was that requested by the DSWD
19:09for the year 2024?
19:11No, Madam Chair.
19:13The same.
19:15It found its way into the
19:17GAA.
19:19In 2024, not requested,
19:21found its way into the GAA.
19:23In 2025, also not requested.
19:25I can assure
19:27our minority leader, we will keep a
19:29watchful eye on what we approved.
19:31Yesterday, Senator Risa Contiveros
19:33also noted the
19:35big change in the 2024
19:37National Budget of the Senate
19:39in the Unprogrammed Appropriations
19:41or the unapproved appropriations
19:43and will only be funded if
19:45there is excess income, foreign assistance
19:47or loan received by the government
19:49along with the impact of some
19:51big projects like flood control.
19:53I hope we do not make
19:55this mistake again of
19:57deprioritizing hundreds
19:59of billions of pesos
20:01in funds proposed by the
20:03President and already approved
20:05by both the House and the Senate.
20:07The problem is
20:09underspending of government agencies
20:11according to Senator Gwynne Gatchalian.
20:13In 2023,
20:15the unutilized appropriations
20:17is about 1.7 trillion pesos.
20:19That's 20% of the
20:21total appropriations.
20:23So 20% has not been
20:25spent or not been dispersed.
20:27We are increasing budget
20:29but we cannot spend budget.
20:31And at the same time, we're incurring
20:33fiscal deficit.
20:35And to finance that fiscal deficit,
20:37we need to borrow.
20:39The Department of Budget and Management
20:41usually prioritizes projects
20:43that can be implemented immediately.
20:45Sometimes, the Congress
20:47wants something that is not
20:49a priority of the agency.
20:51For GMA Integrated News,
20:53Mav Gonzales,
20:55for 24 Hours.
20:57Let's go back to the
20:59warm welcome to the Filipino Olympians.
21:01Despite the long wait
21:03and showing support,
21:05at the parade of the Filipino Olympians,
21:07is the father of the Olympic
21:09double gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
21:11He is watching live. Ian Cruz.
21:13Ian.
21:17Emil, you know, when we passed
21:19in front of Taft Avenue earlier,
21:21the parade of the
21:23ancestors of Carlos Yulo,
21:25we feel like we're still in the Olympic venue
21:27because of the huge
21:29number of people.
21:31And among those who are waiting for the parade,
21:33is the father of Carlos Yulo.
21:39At 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
21:41the students, employees, and residents
21:43of Taft Avenue in Malate
21:45came to converge and wait
21:47for the parade of the athletes who fought
21:49in the Paris Olympics.
21:51The excitement, especially of the students,
21:53was not hidden. The school administrators
21:55watched the parade to show
21:57their support to the two-time Olympic gold medalist,
21:59Carlos Yulo.
22:01One of the women we met,
22:03Carlos is a neighbor of Malate,
22:05and she hopes that the
22:07companionship of our champion and his family,
22:09the students, will be stronger.
22:11Yulo even did a tumbling,
22:13when the convoy of Carlos
22:15and the center island of Taft Avenue
22:17between Pedihil and Malbar Street
22:19were approached by people.
22:21Some of them were shocked by the huge
22:23crowd of the country.
22:25We also met some children
22:27who climbed on the float and signed
22:29their clothes.
22:31They were happy and even gave a wipe
22:33to the signed clothes before going down
22:35on the float.
22:37And Emil, as for those who waited for the parade,
22:39Carlos' father, Mark Andrew,
22:41brought a banner where it was written,
22:43Caloy, your father is here.
22:45Carlos' father, brought some people
22:47while cheering for his son.
22:49At the same time,
22:51he waved, gave a thumbs up,
22:53and Caloy followed the direction
22:55of his father.
22:57Emil, the excitement that we saw,
22:59it really inspired
23:01our children.
23:03That's why many are hoping that
23:05this will be followed by the next
23:07Carlos Yulo of our country.
23:09Back to you, Emil.
23:11Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
23:13The movement of protest
23:15of the Manibela group
23:17became a tension
23:19in the Jeepney Modernization Program.
23:21Marisol Abdurrahman
23:23was able to go home
23:25because of her hard work.
23:31Because of the hot weather
23:33in the Welcome Otonda earlier,
23:35in the middle of the protest
23:37of the Manibela group,
23:39for their call for a no-to-Jeepney face-out,
23:43they did not listen to the police
23:45who were there.
23:47They were also calling
23:49to the President
23:51to stop their protest.
23:53This is the real majority.
23:55This is what you should listen to.
23:59The police forbade the protesters
24:01to push the minjola.
24:03Because it is not negotiable,
24:05the protesters programmed there.
24:07We don't want to force it.
24:09We don't want to force it.
24:11We don't want to let it pass.
24:13Because just like our call,
24:15we don't want to force it
24:17because we can't
24:19enforce the PUBMP.
24:21The target of the group
24:23was to reach the minjola,
24:25but here in the Welcome Rotonda,
24:27they were already blocked by the police
24:29so they just moved here.
24:31The problem is,
24:33they were not only careless,
24:35but they really blocked
24:37the road to Quezon Avenue
24:39to go to Spain.
24:41So those who were going to Manila,
24:43they experienced a lot.
24:47Around noon,
24:49a tow truck arrived
24:51that was supposed to pull the protesters
24:53from their jeeps,
24:55but the tow truck was stopped
24:57by the protesters.
25:05Some of them even threw rocks.
25:07Some of them even threw rocks.
25:19The rocks were thrown by the police,
25:21but when the ground commander
25:23pointed it out,
25:25there was no arrest.
25:27They were just pacified
25:29because there was a little commotion there.
25:31Don't let them pass!
25:33Let them pass!
25:35Let them pass!
25:37The rally of the group
25:39caused a lot of traffic.
25:41Some of the motorists we talked to
25:43were late for school and work.
25:45They were on leave, boss.
25:47They were on leave from other people.
25:49We were already late
25:51and we were supposed to enter at 11.
25:53They were on leave.
25:55They were on leave.
25:57Some of them understood
25:59that they were being fought for.
26:01But the group insisted
26:03that they should not be blamed
26:05for not passing
26:07the Spanish southbound.
26:09Before we walked,
26:11before we marched,
26:13Spain was already closed.
26:15Fight! Fight! Fight!
26:17The program lasted until
26:193 p.m.
26:21before the group dispersed.
26:23For GMA Integrated News,
26:25Marisol Abduraman,
26:27who was on leave
26:29for 24 hours.
26:31The support of the family

26:35double Olympic gold medalist
26:37Carlos Yulo, who was waiting
26:39for the welcome parade earlier,
26:41his grandmother,
26:43was very happy to see her grandson
26:45live from Malate, Manila.
26:47Jonathan Andal was on leave.
26:49Jonathan.
26:51Emil, until now,
26:53Carlos Yulo still feels
26:55fever here in their barangay
26:57in 711
26:59in Leveriza Street in Malate, Manila.
27:01Earlier,
27:03his barangay fell.
27:05The barangay of Caloy
27:07did not hesitate
27:09to greet their double Olympic champion.
27:11They also brought
27:13a stand of Caloy.
27:15Curriner Avenue was almost full
27:17because many were waiting.
27:19His grandmother,
27:21Angelita Pocis, and her brothers
27:23were also waiting.
27:25She was happy to see her grandson again
27:27even though their eyes did not meet
27:29because Caloy was giving an autograph.
27:31How do you feel?
27:33Happy.
27:39Many children
27:41were also waiting,
27:43especially those who wanted to become
27:45a gymnast like Caloy.
27:47Some of Caloy's barangay
27:49were very proud to see
27:51the modern hero of the country
27:53as their neighbor.
27:57I'm proud of my barangay.
27:59Long live Caloy.
28:01Go home to Leveriza.
28:03I'm proud of him.
28:05I also want to be like him.
28:11Emil, the barangay captain said
28:13that on Saturday,
28:15they will have a celebration
28:17for the celebration
28:19of Caloy's victory.
28:21From Malate, Manila, back to you, Emil.
28:23Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
28:27Filipino Olympic golfer
28:29Dottie Ardina was dismayed
28:31when she was told
28:33that the viral video
28:35of her appearance
28:37was due to a lack of uniform
28:39for the Olympics.
28:41In Ardina's video,
28:43which went viral this weekend,
28:45she showed that because
28:47she was wearing a Philippine flag
28:49on her uniform.
28:51In a post last night,
28:53Ardina said that
28:55someone was asking her
28:57to delete a video,
28:59but she didn't say who.
29:01Ardina also said that she felt
29:03like she was being blamed
29:05for raising the issue.
29:07Dottie clarified that
29:09there was no competition uniform
29:11for them,
29:13only collared shirts
29:15but they were forced to wear it
29:17because their teammate,
29:19Bianca Pagdanganan,
29:21needed a uniform.
29:23She was ordered to buy
29:25a new t-shirt with the Philippine flag
29:27but when it arrived,
29:29it didn't fit them
29:31and the Philippine logo
29:33was under the collared shirt.
29:35She also didn't give them
29:37any golf balls,
29:39head cover, gloves,
29:41and golf umbrella.
29:43Ardina also said that
29:45she hoped that the incident
29:47wouldn't happen again
29:49and that there would be
29:51proper communication.
29:53She also hoped that
29:55there would be no more
29:57Philippine athletes
29:59who would look pitiful.
30:01Before this,
30:03the National Golf Association
30:05of the Philippines
30:07and the Philippine Olympic Committee
30:09said in a statement
30:11but when it came to the uniforms,
30:13only one fit Ardina.
30:15They were supposed to buy
30:17the sponsor again but
30:19Ardina decided
30:21to buy her own shirt.
30:25Inspiration and hope.
30:27That's what the
30:29Philippine Olympians gave,
30:31especially the double Olympic gold medalist
30:33Carlos Yulo to the
30:35Philippine athletes.
30:37Among the fans of the Philippine Olympians,
30:39the student-athletes
30:41wanted their idols
30:43to be happy.
30:45That's what Mark Salasang said.
30:51Many of Carlos Yulo's supporters
30:53who waited for Luneta
30:55are student-athletes.
30:57One of them is Gio Mislang
30:59who fights in the track and field
31:01in Nueva Ecija
31:03and has long been a fan
31:05of Carlos Yulo's life athlete.
31:07I was so inspired by him
31:09in his training,
31:11how hard he works,
31:13I was so touched.
31:15Even if I'm just a simple player,
31:17I give my best
31:19in every training
31:21so that I can use the gold medal.
31:23Gio is also an artist
31:25and Carlos is the inspiration of his works.
31:27I was so touched
31:29by his story.
31:31I idolized him
31:33so I made him my inspiration
31:35in drawing.
31:37Earlier, while waiting for Carlos Yulo,
31:39Gio in Luneta,
31:41he sketched the Eiffel Tower
31:43of Paris.
31:45Even if he didn't finish it,
31:47he said he would give it to Carlos as a gift.
31:51If I have a chance
31:53to give my painting, I will give it to him.
31:55It's so nice
31:57to be an artist and an athlete.
32:01Until now,
32:03Gio was riding a big float
32:05that was impossible to approach.
32:13The float stopped
32:15and the fans had a chance
32:17to be autographed
32:19by Gio.
32:21Gio is so handsome.
32:23It's worth it.
32:25I'm so happy.
32:27As you can see,
32:29I'm so happy.
32:31What I did earlier was amazing.
32:33Gio said that Carlos is an idol
32:35because he gave hope to the athletes
32:37that they can reach the top
32:39despite the limitations
32:41of the athletes in the Philippines.
32:43For GMA Integrated News,
32:45Mark Salazar.
32:4724 Hours.
32:51The crowd was so proud
32:53and excited
32:55for the Philippine Olympics.
32:57It was a game
32:59where the athletes
33:01played in different ways.
33:03Raffy Fiba was there.
33:05Raffy.
33:09It was a hot time
33:11for the Filipinos
33:13in the Olympics
33:15for the Paris Olympians
33:17along Rojas Boulevard
33:19and Taft Avenue earlier.
33:25They were cheering
33:27and dancing.
33:29The 16 athletes
33:31were so happy
33:33to see the thousands of Filipinos
33:35that came to the parade.
33:37In the middle of the parade,
33:39some started throwing their T-shirts,
33:41towels, and shoes
33:43to sign the Olympians.
33:45One of the signers
33:47was so happy
33:49that despite the crowd,
33:51he was able to sign the poster
33:53for the two-time Paris Olympics gold medalist
33:55Carlos Yulo.
33:57In the middle of the parade,
33:59some followed the convoy
34:01as it crossed Rojas Boulevard.
34:03The Philippine Coast Guard
34:05and the Philippine Air Force
34:07said the same thing several times.
34:09The parade lasted for less than two hours.
34:11These construction workers
34:13couldn't get down
34:15from their homes.
34:17One of them
34:19showed his gymnastics moves
34:21during the motorcade of the Olympians.
34:23In the thick of the crowd
34:25on Taft Avenue,
34:27the motorcade slowed down.
34:29The motorcade arrived at Rizal Memorial Stadium
34:31at 6 p.m.
34:33Despite the long wait,
34:35the Olympians were still happy
34:37to get off the motorcade track.
34:39The program ended
34:41quickly at Rizal Memorial Stadium
34:43but the experience at the parade
34:45was shocking
34:47not only to the athletes
34:49but also to the Filipinos
