A day after getting P10 million cash reward and an elegant Chery Tiggo 7 Pro SUV from Chery Auto Philippines, Paris Games double gold medalist Carlos Yulo got another cash incentive worth P3 million from Chooks-to-Go and Bounty on Friday, Aug. 23.
The awarding ceremony was part of the grand opening of Chooks! at Festival Mall in Muntinlupaโ the companyโs 38th dine-in restaurant.
While Yulo isn’t officially part of Bounty’s pool of athletes and endorsers, his historic stint in the French capital certainly brought immense pride and honor to the country.
Atlanta Games silver winner Mansueto โOnyokโ Velasco and Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist Eumir Marcial, both of boxing, Yuloโs fellow Paris Olympian and fencer Samantha Catantan, and triathlon star Nikko Huelgas, also marketing head of the Philippine Olympic Committee, were present in the event.
Yulo, 24, who will go down in the annals as the greatest Filipino Olympian, unless someone exceeds him in the Los Angeles edition of the grandest sports spectacle or in the years and decades to come, not only brought pride to the nation but also typified the spirit of excellence that Chooks-to-Go and Bounty aim to celebrate.
In nearly a decade, Chooks-to-Go and Bounty have made substantial contributions to Philippine sports, including support for Special Olympics Pilipinas and recognition from the Philippine Olympian Association.
The company has also been a steadfast supporter of para athletes, notably backing the Philippine Warriors, the national wheelchair basketball team.
