— The Philippines' first ever Olympic champion Hidilyn Diaz's"Ginto't Pilak" sold out shortly after she won at the Tokyo Games, so her publisher is reprinting the book about the weightlifter's life story, launched nearly a year ago.
"The Anvil Shopee and Anvil Lazada stores and website ran out after two days, so we've had to turn it off for a while but we're reprinting so that a lot of people can share in the story of Hidilyn," Anvil Publishing President Xandra Ramos-Padilla told CNN Philippines' New Day on Thursday. Ramos-Padilla said the public can also get a copy of the book through National Book Store if there is stock. But as of this writing, Diaz's book is out of stock in the National Book Store'sGinto't Pilak tells a"very inspiring story of grit and determination, and you can see her journey from when she was at home in Zamboanga carrying pails of water and fish to the market and, that's how she started," Ramos-Padilla shared.
Prior to her latest Olympic victory, the weightlifting star also clinched a silver medal in the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in 2016 and a gold medal in the 2018 Asian Games.
