Managing millions: What will Filipino Olympic medalists do with incentives?

Hidilyn Diaz admitted she made"wrong choices" with some of her earnings from her silver-medal win in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.

Using her Rio cash rewards, Diaz put up her own weightlifting gym in Barangay Mampang in her hometown Zamboanga City, where she started her journey as a young lifter. Megaworld Corporation recently turned over the P14-million condominium unit in Eastwood City it promised Diaz. "I want them to grow up in a beautiful house where they're safe," said the first Filipina Olympic medalist in boxing."Once I know that they're okay, when I see that I don't have to support them anymore, that is the time that I'll take care of myself and buy the things I want," Petecio said.Diaz, though, said it is important that athletes look out after themselves.

MacarioBonifac1 Sana ibigay talaga yan bka sasabihin hinahanapan pa ng pondo dahil walang budget at may pandemya. Alam mo naman style ng mga EPALITIKO mahusay sa sawsaw at photo ops akala mo may ambag mga Langaw. Kung saan amoy Tae nandun mga Bangaw. TaePalitiko

But how many percent of their earnings will go to the people who helped them , like their trainors?

At last! Financial rewards for their hard work and trials. Congrats👏👏👏👏
