The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) commended boxer Carlo Paalam on winning the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

In a statement, Secretary Martin Andanar praised Paalam’s “excellent performance” in the men’s flyweight gold medal match against Great Britain’s Galal Yafai.

“As a fellow Kagay-anon, you’ve not only represented our country but (the Northern Mindanao region) as well. We’re all very proud of you and your excellent performance in the Men’s Flyweight Boxing Competition,” said Andanar.

“Nawa’y patuloy kang maging inspirasyon sa mga Kagay-anon at sa mga atletang Pilipino sa magiting mong determinasyon at puso para sa ating bansa! Ang iyong panalo ay panalo ng lahat ng mga Pilipino at ng buong Pilipinas,” he added.

The PCOO chief also congratulated Bianca Pagdanganan and Yuka Saso for their “solid performance” in the women’s golf competition.

“Pinahanga ninyo kaming dalawa sa ipinakita ninyong galing ng mga atletang Filipina. Both of you didn’t only display our known qualities of grit and determination, but also our Filipino spirit of sportsmanship and excellence,” said Andanar.

Saso finished at ninth place while Pagdanganan ended at 43rd place.
