In a statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said Yulo and the other Olympians will arrive Tuesday afternoon. Their families will meet them at the Villamor Airbase.

Yulo, who won two gold medals in the artistic gymnastics competition in Paris, will arrive Tuesday afternoon, together with the other Olympians. Their families will meet them at the Villamor Airbase.

The Filipino Olympians will then proceed to the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) for a welcome ceremony by government officials before proceeding on a heroes’ parade traversing key areas in Manila and culminating in Malacañan.

The First Family will welcome the country's sports heroes in the Palace.

According to the PCO, President Marcos will personally honor the athletes and present them with their well-deserved incentives in recognition of their extraordinary contributions to Philippine sports and their stellar performance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Yulo won two gold medals in the Men's Artistic Gymnastics Floor and Vault events. His double victory in Paris came three years after Hidilyn Diaz brought home the country’s first-ever Olympic gold medal from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The Philippines also earned two bronze medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics courtesy of boxers Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio.

In an interview on Aug. 7, Marcos told reporters that he would ask Yulo about what the government could do to increase the country's odds of getting more gold medals from the coveted sporting event.

He said the Golden Boy was the best person to ask for advice regarding the country's participation in the Olympics.

"Pagka nagkita kami itatanong ko sa kanya kung ano pa ang maitutulong ng pamahalaan para mas dumami ang ating mga medalists sa Olympics (When we meet, I will ask him what else can the government offer to our athletes so we can have more Olympic medals)," he told reporters.

"Nadaanan niya lahat 'yan (He's been through it all). He went to the Tokyo Olympics. He has now won his two gold medals in the Paris Olympics kaya't kung ano pa ang aming gagawin (so what else should the government do)," he added.

President Marcos emphasized his desire for Filipino athletes to bring home more medals.

"Ang interest ko dumami ang medalists kagaya niya. Anong kailangan gawin (My interest is in increasing our medal haul. What should we do)?" he asked.

"Do we have to change the organization? Does it need to be funded?" he added.
