“The House of Representatives commends and congratulates Carlos Edriel Yulo, the first Filipino to win two golds in one edition of the Olympics... that brings pride to the Filipino people and provides inspiration to Filipino athletes to achieve greater heights in their chosen fields of sports,” House Resolution No. 1835 stated.
