Routes for heroes' parade for Filipino athletes at Paris Olympics

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) released on Saturday the areas the motorcade of Filipino athletes at the 2024 Paris Olympics will pass through on Tuesday, August 13.

The heroes' parade for the Filipino Olympians, led by two-time gold medalist Carlos Yulo, will begin at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City and end at Malacañang Palace in Manila.

The MMDA advised motorists to take alternate routes.

A special program will be held at the Palace, where President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will present incentives to the athletes in recognition of their ''extraordinary contributions to Philippine sports and their stellar performance during the 2024 Paris Olympics,'' the Presidential Communications Office said on Friday.

The Philippines has so far bagged four medals in the ongoing Paris Games, with two gold medals in gymnastics from Yulo and two bronze medals from boxers Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio. — VBL, GMA Integrated News
