It’s “a perfect home for Filipino champions who live a life of passion and excellence through and through,” she told us.
Megaworld said the home with two bedrooms is worth 24 million pesos, which is around $415,000.
Yulo also got praise from the Philippines’ President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Romualdez Marcos and a cash award from the government of the country.
Marcos wrote on his Facebook page, “We saw history as Carlos Yulo won the Philippines’ first GOLD medal in artistic gymnastics at the Paris 2024 Olympics.”
There’s no way I think that will be the last time. Best of luck, Caloy! Everyone in the country is proud of you!”

Several news outlets in the Philippines said that the House of Representatives also decided to give Yulo 3 million Philippine pesos, which is about $51,900, for his gold medal.
When Yulo won, it wasn’t just the first gymnastics title for the Philippines. It’s also the first gold medal for a Filipino man in the Olympics. The Philippines won their second gold medal. In Tokyo, Hidilyn Diaz won the 55-kilogram weightlifting event for women.
At that time, she was also given a house.
“I’m so stressed out. Thank God and this award for making me feel good. “As always, he kept me safe,” Yulo told AFP after his win.
“He gave me the strength to get through this kind of performance and perform this well.”
Yulo has been training in Japan since 2017 as part of an Olympic Solidarity program that helps athletes get more chances. He hopes that his win will encourage other people in the Philippines to try gymnastics.
He told to media, “I hope gymnastics will grow in the country.”
“The people who helped me a lot and my hard work.” I know that when I do well, they do well too. I’m glad I won gold. I won a house too.
Yulo could get another gold medal on Sunday. He got into the finals of the vault apparatus in sixth place.
