The 15 brave Filipino athletes wading into battle in next month’s Paris Olympics received a parting gift in the form of P500,000 from Sen. Bong Go through the Philippine Sports Commission.
According to the report, Tokyo silver winner Nesthy Petecio thanked the Senate's Committee on Sports chair during Friday’s turnover ceremony for the monetary incentives to the athletes at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
The report added that aside from Petecio, fellow boxers Carlo Paalam, Hergie Bacyadan, and Aira Villegas, gymnast Carlos Yulo, weightlifters Vanessa Sarno, Elreen Ando, and John Ceniza, and rower Joannie Delgado were also present to receive their early bonus.
The report added that Pole-vaulter EJ Obiena, pug Eumir Marcial, fencer Sam Catantan, and gymnasts Aleah Finnegan, Levi Ruivivar, and Emma Malabuyo weren’t present but will also receive the same amount.
Go also said Paralympics-bound athletes like swimmers Angel Otom and Ernie Gawilan and taekwondo’s Allain Ganapin are also getting it.
