See you in 2028 at the Los Angeles Olympics.

This was Carlos Yulo’s vow the moment he landed at a special gate connecting the Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Villamor Airbase where he was warmly welcomed by a cheering crowd of students, an Air Force musical band and frantic media workers on a breezy Tuesday night.

"Nanalo tayo ng gintong medalya (We won a gold medal)," Yulo said in Filipino in a chance interview that was cut short by security personnel provided by Malacañang.

"Of course, meron pa po akong isa pa pong Olympics, sa 2028. Paghahandaan ko po yun nang mabuti at magpa-practice pa po ako nang maigi (Of course, I still have another Olympics, in 2028. I will prepare for that thoroughly and I will practice well)," he said."

"Ang panalo po namin, panalo po nating lahat (Our win is a win for all)," he added.

For now, Yulo stressed his need for some rest.

"Of course, magpapahinga rin po, kailangan ko rin po (Of course there will be rest, I need it too)," he said.
