“Today, we celebrate not just medals and records, but the indomitable spirit of a young man who defied odds, pushed boundaries, and made our nation proud. To Carlos, these gold bars symbolize more than metal—they represent your unwavering commitment to greatness. May they inspire you to continue reaching new heights,” Cebuana Lhuillier President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier said.
Yulo appeared on Tuesday’s episode of TV Patrol Express and the network’s flagship news program, TV Patrol.

He has received a bevy of incentives for his historic achievement, including cash rewards from both the government and private companies, as well as vehicles and a condominium worth P32-M from a property giant. — with a report from Dyan Castillejo, ABS-CBN News
