ArenaPlus joins the rest of the nation by celebrating the momentous double gold medal victory of Carlos “Golden Boy” Yulo in the 2024 Olympic Games. To honor Yulo’s historic achievement, ArenaPlus is awarding the Olympian an “Astig Hero Bonus” of ₱5,000,000 in cash. This gesture of ArenaPlus’ pride and gratitude to Yulo for representing the country in the most prestigious sporting event in the world.
DigiPlus, the parent company of sports betting platform ArenaPlus, has been proudly championing Carlos Yulo since the start of the Olympic games. As one of ArenaPlus’ official brand ambassadors, Yulo has had the company’s full support throughout the entirety of his Olympic campaign.
In a pre-Olympics send off with representatives from ArenaPlus, Yulo even spoke on the value of his partnership with the company. “Maraming maraming salamat po na recognize niyo po ako at gusto niyo ko supportahan,” he said. “Ibubuhos ko lahat at tatapatan ko po yung mga suportahan at salamat sa suporta niyong lahat at ipagdasal natin ang mga kasaling atleta sa Olympics.”
Yulo’s hard work and dedication resulted in the historic win of two gold medals in men’s artistic gymnastics in the men’s floor and men’s vault exercises. The victory makes him only the second ever Filipino Olympic gold medalist, and the most awarded one in history.
DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio H. Tanco spoke on the hopes for Yulo’s future after these Olympic games. “Carlos Yulo truly embodies the ‘astig’ Pinoy spirit,” said Tanco. “We coudn’t be prouder of how he has represented both our country and DigiPlus. Our warmest congratulations to him!”
Yulo’s success in the Olympics also aligns with ArenaPlus’ vision of a thriving and diverse interest in sports here in the Philippines. With the money provided by ArenaPlus, Yulo now has the means and funding to further hone his skills and improve his training conditions. This will only aid him in his athletic career moving forward, setting him up for greater success down the line.
At the same time, ArenaPlus hopes Yulo’s victory turns eyes to the wide variety of athletic endeavors that can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Young athletes should consider a wide variety of sports, and their interest should be nurtured. It’s only through young people exploring the diverse options of various sports that the country can achieve the highest potential of the Filipino athlete.
