Megaworld, a leading property developer, proudly welcomes Carlos Yulo, the first Filipino to win two Olympic gold medals, to his new home in the 50-hectare McKinley Hill township in Taguig City.
Yulo received a P32-million, fully-furnished, three-bedroom condominium unit in one of McKinley Hill’s newest premier residential properties. The unit, complete with a parking slot, home appliances, furniture, fixtures, and various amenities, was handed over to the Olympic champion today. In addition, Yulo was awarded a P3-million cash bonus.
Kevin L. Tan, president and CEO of Alliance Global Group, Inc. (AGI), Megaworld’s parent company, and Lourdes T. Gutierrez-Alfonso, president of Megaworld Corporation, presented Yulo with the keys to his new home and the accompanying cheque. They also gifted him a special artwork—an intricate piece featuring three leaves cut into images depicting Yulo, his winning gymnastics form at the Paris Olympics, and McKinley Hill’s iconic Venice Grand Canal.
“Together with the rest of the nation, we thank Carlos for giving us so much pride as he showcased to the world the best of the Filipinos’ competitive spirit. We recognize his passion and dedication to excellence, and we take pride in welcoming another Olympic champion in our Megaworld township, just like how we celebrated and welcomed Hidilyn Diaz in Eastwood City when she won the Philippines’ first-ever Olympic gold medal in Tokyo, Japan back in 2021,” said Tan.
A Home Fit for the Philippines’ Golden Boy
Yulo’s three-bedroom condominium is a modern contemporary masterpiece, designed with clean lines and neutral tones that emphasize simplicity and attention to detail. The interiors, featuring generous touches of gold as a nod to Yulo’s Olympic victories, were meticulously curated by Megaworld’s in-house design team.
The unit comes equipped with top-of-the-line home appliances, including a refrigerator, microwave oven, four-burner cooktop with oven, washing and drying machines, four smart televisions, and a game console—perfect for Yulo to enjoy during his downtime with friends and family.
Two balconies, accessible from both the living room and the master bedroom, offer stunning views of the township.
Among the unit’s standout features is a custom-made nesting coffee table in the living room, adorned with a replica of Yulo’s Paris Olympic gold medal. The dining area boasts a versatile custom dining table that can accommodate six to eight people, perfect for hosting gatherings. A hallway gallery leading to the bedrooms features framed newspaper clippings celebrating Yulo’s historic achievements.
One of the three bedrooms has been transformed into an entertainment room, complete with a custom day bed and pull-out single bed, providing Yulo a cozy space to relax after intense training sessions.
The condominium community offers a range of amenities, including a sprawling infinity pool with a pool deck, a two-level fitness center for training and conditioning, function rooms, an outdoor fitness area, a children’s playground, a game room, an entertainment room, a business center, and a bar and lounge.
After receiving his keys and touring his new home, Yulo participated in a hero’s parade at the Venice Grand Canal, where he was warmly greeted by fans, visitors, and members of the McKinley Hill community.
“We are very excited to finally welcome Carlos here in McKinley Hill,” said Gutierrez-Alfonso. “Having someone like him as a full-fledged resident of one of our pioneer Megaworld township developments is already a cause for celebration. Aside from his new home, we look forward to seeing him enjoy the rest of the township as his new address is surrounded by several iconic destinations, including the Venice Grand Canal which features hundreds of themed restaurants, cinemas, and retail establishments. This gift is a well-deserved reward for all his hard work, sacrifices, and commitment to excellence that really made us all proud to be Filipinos.”
As an added bonus, Yulo received a lifetime free delivery service and exclusive merchandise from the premium lifestyle delivery app PICK.A.ROO.
Nestled amidst lush gardens and vibrant landscapes, Yulo’s new home in McKinley Hill is just a short walk from McKinley Hill Stadium, international schools, office towers, and embassies. The township is conveniently located near major thoroughfares like C5 Road and is minutes away from the central business districts of Makati, Taguig, and Ortigas, as well as the South Luzon Expressway, Skyway, and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
