In his next tweet, Cariaso said he was able to speak with Rhea and her adviser.

"Thanks for the post. I was able to speak to Rhea and her adviser this morning. Thanks to those  who messaged me also with her contact number," he said.

Rhea, who studies at the Salvacion Elementary School in Iloilo, bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run and the 1500-meter run for elementary girls at the Iloilo Schools Sports Council Meet.

Her trainer Predirick B. Valenzuela told GMA News Online that Bullos' makeshift "shoes" were made of plaster bandage.
