Filipino Gymnast Carlos Yulo Honored with Hero's Welcome After Historic Olympic Wins

Yulo's double gold in Paris marks a significant achievement for the Philippines, despite personal controversies.

Carlos Yulo won gold in men's floor exercise and vault at the Paris Olympics, the biggest victory for a Filipino athlete in a century.
He was greeted in Manila by cheering fans and received substantial rewards, including cash, a resort house, and lifetime free meals.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and other officials honored Yulo and other Filipino Olympians with medals and cash gifts.
The celebration is somewhat overshadowed by a public feud between Yulo and his mother, which has gained media attention.
A celebratory parade for Yulo and the other athletes is planned, passing through the gymnast's childhood neighborhood.
