The story of Carlos Yulo is the story of the Filipinos. Despite unimaginable challenges, painful defeats, and countless hardships, Caloy made the country proud by winning not one, but two Olympic gold medals. After Hidilyn ended the Philippines’ 97-year Olympic gold-medal drought in the Tokyo Olympics, Caloy made history as he defeated the best gymnasts in the world. He won back to back gold medals in the men’s floor exercise and vault in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In another development, Filipino athletes are currently in Paris for the Olympics and we could not be more proud of these 22 athletes who will be competing in nine sports. According to reports, this is the biggest Philippine delegation to the Olympics since 1992.

With the third State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., his administration has officially entered its third year — the final year of the first half of his presidency. In my view, the key element of this third year should be the same as his focus when he was inaugurated as the 17th president in 2024: Focus on the economy.
