Manila City Council clarifies: Carlos Yulo Day commemoration, not city holiday
The Manila City Council has approved the annual celebration of Carlos Yulo Day every August 4 to honor gymnast Carlos Yulo's achievements.
The resolution, authored by Councilor Salvador Phillip Lacuna, clarifies that August 4 will be a day of commemoration, not a holiday, meaning work and classes will proceed as usual.
Yulo, a native of Tondo and resident of Malate, made history by winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics: one on August 3 in the men's floor exercise and another on August 4 in the men's gymnastics vault final.
He is set to receive various incentives, including P10 million from the Philippine Sports Commission and P6 million from the House of Representatives.
The city government has scheduled recognition rites for Yulo on August 19, where he will receive an award and a P2 million incentive from the local government.
A heroes' welcome parade is also underway for Yulo and other Olympians in Manila.
