DSWD hails Olympian Sarno, a 4Ps beneficiary
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) praised weightlifter Vanessa Sarno for her participation in the women's 71kg weightlifting event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Sarno, a 20-year-old from Tagbilaran City, Bohol, is a beneficiary of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
The DSWD stated that her participation is an inspiration, especially to 4Ps households, quoting, "Maraming salamat sa laban, Vanessa Sarno! Ang iyong pagsabak sa women's 71kg division weightlifting sa Paris 2024 Olympic Games ay isang inspirasyon para sa bawat Pilipino, higit lalo sa mga 4Ps households."
Her mother, a solo parent, heads the household, and her two younger siblings are also 4Ps beneficiaries.
Despite not securing a medal, Sarno's effort was recognized by the DSWD, which also posted, "Mabuhay ka, Vanessa! Kasama mo ang buong 4Ps family sa iyong naging laban para sa Pilipinas!"
Sarno is a two-time gold medalist from the 2023 Southeast Asian Games and this was her Olympic debut.
