I am so happy to tell you that for the first time in history, my beloved country received a God Medal in the Tokyo Olympic through Miss Diaz in women category weight lifting. She cannot believe that she could win for the second and third placers from China and Kazakhstan were able to lift 122 kilograms. When it was her turn , she was shocked when she was able to lift 127 kilograms bar. It's shown in cable the moment she lifted the heavy bar. She is the ultimate chance of the country to bring honor and glory. amid pandemic She got her training in Malaysia. I am just sharing you my happiness for in the tally, only Philippines scored zero among the 10 countries being featured in the newspaper. China , United States, Russia compete among themselves to bring home more gold medals. Her reward is so awesome. She became instant millionaire, so PRICELESS. Thank you for feeling what I feel this moment. Love you guys.

@FaruMesh , thank you dear, and you know people in Ph mostly are petite and seldom wins baseball games. Only Pacman , small yet terrible who showed to the world that height does not matter. I hope he will win in his fight come August.

@cacay1 Woohoo great for her I am really happy that she has made it as far as that. I mean when you are in a team you have more moral support but when they go it alone its like they are taking on the whole world. Very courageous lady.

@cacay1 Does the country hold the gold medal on the behalf of the sports person and give them cash in lieu of the medal? I did a calculation and reward amount to close a million as well.

@id_peace , Hidilyn will receive a cash reward amounting to 35.5 million and a house and lot (Condo) worth 14 million. She became instant millionaire. She will be home tomorrow as policy in Tokyo Japan after the winning the athlete must go home and those denied winning, also stays good for 2 days only.

It is better for her to relax , but I doubt if she will cease for weightlifting becomes part of her destiny. I hope there will be no complications of her body parts for it is a hard work. What do you think?

@cahaya1983 , yes she deserves and this day in news the Philippine president rewarded Hidilyn 3 million pesos his personal money and a house and lot in Zamboanga city. Zamboanga city is called City of Flowers, it is a very beautiful city situated in Southern part in Mindanao, but so sad it is sometimes chaotic due to the presence of Abusayaffs , and during the Aquino administration , there was all out war in Zamboanga leaving the city into ground zero.

Her gold medal is also worth 5 million pesos. In my case, I cannot even carry 10 kilos rice and she, good for almost 4 sacks rice, horror strength.

@ankurdini , when she won the Gold medal in the ASEAN GAMEs , Judilyn received 5 million from the Ph government and her medal alone costs 5 million. Her money all in all 40 million for congress added 5 million plus a condo worth 14 million and a house and lot. This day President DU30 rewarded Diaz 3 millions his perisomal money and a house and lot in Zamboanga city. She is lucky enough. Her sacrifices and struggles were paid off. Her family is so super happy. She is so strong.
