It's been POC president and Tagaytay City Mayor Bambol Tolentino's promise to reward every Filipino Olympic medalist a house and lot in Tagaytay since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Man of his word

No doubt, he's a man of his word as Tolentino has provided the country's six medalists in the last two Olympics with a home of their own.

Tokyo Olympic weightlifting gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz was given a 220-square meter, two-storey home at Isabel Heights, Barangay Kaybagal Central, for her feat. Tokyo Olympic boxing silver medalists Nesthy Petecio and Carlo Paalam were awarded a 125-square meter, two-bedroom with attic home each at Olympic Lane, Barangay San Jose, while boxing bronze medalist Eumir Marcial received the same incentive valued at least P5 million.
