Puso in Paris' mini-docu series highlights Filipino Olympians' journey

The mini-documentary series 'Puso in Paris' offers an inside look into the preparations, achievements, and challenges of Filipino Olympians competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The four-part series features the journeys of various Filipino athletes, including gymnast Carlos Yulo, boxers Eumir Marcial, Nesthy Petecio, Aira Villegas, Carlo Paalam, and Hergie Bacyadan, and weightlifters Vanessa Sarno, Elreen Ando, and John Ceniza.

The final episode focuses on the path of pole vaulter Ernest John 'EJ' Obiena towards the Olympics.

The Philippines achieved its best Olympic performance to date, securing four medals, with Carlos Yulo contributing two golds.

Director Clev Mayuga stated that the series aims to demonstrate that Filipino Olympians deserve support and are capable of winning on the international stage, not just participating for moral victories.

Mayuga emphasized the importance of 'paki' (care) in the country's sports climate, as the documentaries were filmed during competitions and training sessions leading up to the Games.
