Condo unit worth P14-M for Hidilyn Diaz
HIDILYN DIAZ – The first-ever Filipino to win a gold medal in the Olympics will receive a P14-million residential condominium unit in Eastwood City from Megaworld Corp.
Diaz made history as the first-ever Filipino to bag a gold medal in the Olympics in the recently concluded women’s 55-kg weightlifting event.
The country’s pride finished with a total score of 224 kg defeating China’s Liao Qiuyun.
The 30-year-old weightlifter from Zamboanga ended the near century-long Olympic gold medal drought of the country since it competed in 1924
In a statement, Megaworld chief strategy officer Kevin Tan said: “This epic moment is about 97 years in the making, and this is our way of saying thanks to Hidilyn for making us all proud.”
“We believe that it’s just right to give our first-ever Olympic gold medalist a home in our first-ever township, Eastwood City, where she can enjoy the township lifestyle with her family and loved ones,” he added.
This is not the first time that Hidilyn Diaz made history. In 2016, she bagged a silver medal in the Rio Olympics.
