00:00Mr. President, particularly on the vault exercise and the floor exercise, I never thought, I would have never thought in my wildest dreams that we will be able to see a double medal gold win in the Paris Olympics in our lifetime, in my lifetime.
00:22When Onyok Velasco won the silver medal, the entire Philippines was happy.
00:52I also filed a resolution with the unanimous consent of our fellow Filipinos that we give him a medal of excellence because we gave Hidelyn Diaz last time and the other three medalists of Japan, the Tokyo Olympics.
01:11And at the proper time, we'll be sponsoring all these measures. We'll be able to sponsor a more detailed resume of what these athletes have done to be able to earn gold medals.
01:26And not only them, also we congratulate Nesty Patesho already having a bronze medal and also Villegas, who also won for us a bronze medal.
01:41So if you add these two golds and two bronze, we're even higher than 19 because 19, marami dun po, before us only two medals, gold medals and nothing else. So we'll even go higher in the bracket medal ranking.
