Grammar Police: Carlos Yulo Is Not A “Two-Time Gold Medalist”
(Melchor Vergara contributed to this report)
It appears that calling Carlos Yulo a “two-time gold medalist” has become the latest trend, despite the glaring inaccuracy.
Let’s set the record straight: Yulo is a “double-gold medalist,” having clinched two golds in a single event, not across multiple Olympic Games. The term “two-time” is reserved for athletes who’ve struck gold in different Olympics, not for those doubling up in one shot.
But hey, why let facts get in the way of a catchy headline? After all, exaggeration never hurts anyone—except maybe the English language!
22 Filipinos Just Joined The Millionaires’ Row!
In a truly heartwarming twist of fate, 22 Filipino athletes became instant millionaires—not by sheer luck in the lottery, but by the grace of President Bongbong Marcos, who, in a grand ceremony at Malacañang, handed out checks like they were certificates of attendance in a conference.
These athletes, fresh from the Paris Olympics, were lauded not for the number of medals they brought home but for the opportunity to bask in the presidential spotlight. Some say it’s a win-win: the athletes get a taste of the good life, and the government gets to bask in their reflected glory.
Who needs gold medals when you can cash in on presidential generosity? After all, it’s not every day that one gets rewarded for simply showing up—and in the Philippines, that’s the real victory. Forget the Olympics; this is the kind of gold that really counts!
