Yulo will receive 150,000 Mabuhay Miles per year, the maximum that can be credited to a single account within a calendar year, which he may then use for flight tickets and other perks from the local carrier.
This comes after Yulo secured his second gold after scoring 15.166 points in the vault — 15.433 on his first pass, and 14.800 in the second. This is the country’s third gold medal to date in the Olympics. He earlier won gold in the men’s floor exercise.
