00:06the end point of the Heroes Parade for the athletes who fought in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:13Sue Jin Kim is live at the Centro ng Balita.
00:21Angelique, we are here at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex
00:24where the preparations for the arrival of our Filipino Olympians are in full swing.
00:29Angelique, actually, this is the end point of the Heroes Parade
00:32that will start at the Alley O Theater in Star City.
00:35Angelique, actually, this is also where Carlos Yulo used to do his gymnastics,
00:40particularly when it comes to floor exercises.
00:42That's why this place is really sentimental.
00:46The rehearsals for the program later will be in full swing
00:49that will serve as an introduction to the outstanding athletes
00:52who fought in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
00:55This is where the athletes will be welcomed as part of the homecoming celebration.
01:01The parade will start at 3 p.m. led by the Filipino double gold medalist, Carlos Yulo.
01:07They will start at the Alley O Theater in Pasay City and continue to Manila,
01:11which is 7.7 kilometers long.
01:14The great Manila, Carlos Yulo, will also be accompanied by Nesty Pateso,
01:18Ira Villegas, EJ Oviena, and Bianca Pangandaman.
01:21Meanwhile, the MMDA will remind motorists who may be affected by the parade
01:27to look for an alternative route.
01:30It is possible to have a stop-and-go traffic scheme along the route of the parade.
01:35The government of Manila promised to give Caloy two million pesos
01:40while EJ Oviena, who lives in Tondo, will be given half a million pesos.
01:45There are also four Filipino talents who will present their performances.
01:49They are Princess Vire, Beya Sacramento of Tawag ng Tanghalan, Eman Bunyaw, and Aline Magadia.
01:55There are more than 6,000 people in the seating capacity here at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum,
02:00which is why everyone is invited to come early to get a good seat.
02:06According to the security, they will start welcoming people at 2 p.m.
02:12Angelique, the Manila Police District, or MPD,
02:16assured the safety of all its athletes and supporters.
02:19Actually, MPD deployed 400 MPD personnel today.
02:24Here is the latest from the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
02:28Back to you, Angelique.
02:29First, Sujin, are there any details about who will be present there later
02:35and who will not be able to come?
02:39Yes, Angelique.
02:40Of our 22 athletes, only 17 will be able to attend today.
02:45Only five will not be able to attend.
02:47These are our five gymnasts, Ruvivar, Finnegan, and Mabuyaw.
02:52For our golfers, Dottie and Pagdanganan will not be able to attend.
02:58Angelique.
02:59Okay. For ordinary people who want to go there,
03:03do they need a ticket, a reservation, or will they just go there?
03:08Angelique, there is no reserved seating.
03:11Everyone who wants to go can go straight to the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex
03:16and enter when the open house arrives starting at 2 p.m.
03:20Angelique.
03:21Okay. Thank you very much, Sujin Kim.
