Congrats Hidilyn!

I have no words right now – speechless ako, so I’ll let these tweets inform you of who this Olympic Gold medalist is.

I curated Tweets to tell a story, video per video. 93 years since the Philippines first joined the Summer Olympics in 1928, we finally got a Gold.

Did I forgot to mention she’s an Enlisted Personnel of the Philippine Air Force – and along with her fellow, boxer Eumir Marcial, dedicated their fights to fellow soldiers who perished in the C130 plane crash?

Again, Congrats, Hidilyn – our very first Gold Medalist.

Congrats Hidilyn!
