00:00A chartered flight of Philippine Airlines PR 8888 arrived at Villamor Air Base in Pasay City this evening at 7.07 p.m.

00:10The Philippine Olympians flew this flight and defeated the Philippines in the Paris Olympics.

00:16The Philippine athletes went out one by one on the airplane.

00:23The last to go out was the Sino-Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulong

00:28and women's boxing bronze medalist Nesly Petencio, who defeated the Philippines.

00:38When they landed on the red carpet, the Olympians were overjoyed.

00:50A member of the Olympians' family was allowed to join them on the presidential hangar of Villamor Air Base

00:57so that the occasion would remain private.

01:05Five of them did not go home according to the office of the presidential protocol

01:09because they have other competitions where they will compete.

01:13Carlos was with his girlfriend Chloe.

01:15I'm very happy. Thank you very much. Thank you very much to the Lord.

01:22I'm very grateful. I'm very blessed. I have nothing to say. I'm very thankful.

01:28Thank you very much to those who prayed and supported us, the Philippine athletes who played in the Olympics.

01:34Their hard work did not go to waste so that we could watch and pray.

01:39Thank you very much. We won this. We won all of this.

01:44The first ones to arrive in the country were San Catanta of Felsic,

01:47Jaira Sanchez and Jared Hatch of Swimming, and Giovanni Dalgaco of Hoeing.

01:52The delegation of the Philippine Olympic Committee including President Bambol Tolentino,

01:56other POC officials, and their coaches were also included.

02:00The Olympians were given a few minutes to refresh themselves before going straight to Malacanang

02:05where they will be accompanied by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., First Lady Liza, and First Family.

02:11The night of the Olympics is still long because after their celebration in Malacanang,

02:16there is still a victory party for them and their families in a hotel here in Pasay City.

02:24And for their return to the country, not only did they celebrate the victory for themselves,

02:30but also the glory for the entire Filipino people.

02:34From the Presidential Hangar of William R. Herbes for GMA Integrated News,

02:39Maris Umali is your witness.

02:45The Philippine team is wearing a jacket.

02:47President Bambol Marcos personally invited the Philippine Olympians to Malacanang.

02:51He is also accompanied by First Lady Liza Araneta Marcos, who is also wearing a Philippine team jacket,

02:56and the children, Simon and Vinny.

02:58A band of fans joined them while the stars are waiting for them tonight.

03:02A red carpet welcome is also held here.

03:05The palace is busy with its visitors.

03:08And before they take off their jackets, the athletes have already arrived at the palace.

03:13The last ones to arrive are the Olympic medalists,

03:15Neste Petesio and Ira Villegas, who won a bronze medal.

03:19And the last one to arrive is the double gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.

03:25Next, they entered the Ceremonial Hall.

03:27For dinner, they had Salmon Belly with Sinigang sa Kamias,

03:30Grilled US Angus Beef with Mechado Sauce, and Chocolate Cake.

03:35But they didn't have dinner yet.

03:36Instead, the awarding ceremony is already underway.

03:39Each athlete was given a Presidential Citation.

03:42And each one of them, whether they have a medal or not,

03:45will receive the same prize.

03:46We will give all of our athletes as long as they advance to the Olympics.

03:50We will give them one million.

03:53The bronze medalists, Villegas and Petesio, received four million.

03:58Yulo received 22 million.

04:01It's no longer a joke to qualify for the Olympics,

04:03and to just enter the Olympics is already a success.

04:05And of course, there is also a prize for the coaching staff.

04:08The coaching staff, we will also give half a million.

04:12But more than the prizes that a president has given

04:14to give more support to the athletes for the upcoming competitions,

04:18Yulo, Villegas and Petesio will be added

04:21who will receive the medals.

04:23What I want to ask them is,

04:26what else can we do to increase the number of medalists?

04:30That's what I want to talk to.

04:32Not just the athletes, but also the coaches, the trainers.

04:35What else do you lack?

04:37The parents.

04:38Where did you have a hard time when you trained with Yulo?

04:43That was the hardest part for me.

04:46For GMA Integrated News, I'm Ivan Mejrina.

04:49Mejrina is your witness.

04:56For those who want to enjoy the Olympics tomorrow,

04:59they will ride the float for the motorcade

05:01that will start at 3 p.m. in Aliuth Yether.

05:04They will pass through Rojas Boulevard

05:06and stop for a moment in front of the statue of Jose Rizal.

05:09This is a symbolic display that they are the new heroes

05:14because of the great performance at the Paris Olympics.

05:18From Rojas Boulevard,

05:19they will pass through Padre Borgo Street to Finance Road,

05:22to the right of Taft Avenue,

05:24and to the right of President Quirino Avenue.

05:26From there, the convoy will turn left to Adriatico

05:29where Yulo grew up,

05:30then straight to Rizal Sports Complex

05:33where there is an open and free program for the public.

05:36According to the MMDA,

05:38the road will not be closed and the number coding will not be suspended.

05:42We will just stop and go.

05:44It is open, but if it rains,

05:47there will be a provision to stop.

05:51The parade will be held until 5 p.m.

05:58The various statues of two-time gold medalist Carlos Yulo
