Century Properties and PHirst honor Olympic champion Carlos Yulo with House-and-Lot Handover Ceremony
Carlos Yulo’s new house, named Charles (the Spanish translation of Carlos), is a single-attached home with a 70 sqm floor area on a 136 sqm corner lot worth P6 million. Listed developer Century Properties Group (CPG) and its first-home brand PHirst celebrated National Heroes Day with a ceremonial handover of a house-and-lot package to Olympic double gold medalist Carlos Yulo at Century City Mall in Makati.
CPG and PHirst executives presented Yulo with the symbolic key to his new home at PHirst Editions Batulao in Batangas before CPG and PHirst officers, employees, and guests. Yulo’s new house, named Charles (the Spanish translation of Carlos), is a single-attached home with a 70 sqm floor area on a 136 sqm corner lot worth P6 million. It features a spacious living, dining, and kitchen area, as well as three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car carport. This will be completed by March 2025.
“It is an honor for us at Century Properties and PHirst to celebrate this moment with Carlos and all of you. Winning gold in the Olympics is an extraordinary achievement for the Philippines, and a double gold is historic for us, Filipinos. Carlos, we are very proud of you,” said CPG executive chairman Amb. Jose E.B. Antonio. “On behalf of CPG and PHirst, we present this gift to Carlos as a symbol of our gratitude and appreciation for his remarkable accomplishment.”
“Winning an Olympic medal is an immense achievement, and the journey to the Olympics is even more challenging. Carlos, thank you for your hard work, passion, and dedication, and for inspiring us all,” added CPG president and CEO Marco Antonio. “At Century Properties, we share the values of Passion and Innovation that have driven Carlos to success. For over 38 years, these values have allowed us to create new generation real estate and support first-home buyers through PHirst Park Homes.”
“Century Properties will continue to support the ‘New Generation of Olympians’ through the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines. We hope that our support will help young Filipino athletes achieve Olympic success like Carlos,” Antonio added.
Yulo, the first Filipino and Southeast Asian to win two Olympic gold medals, attended the ceremony with his mentor, Gymnastics Association of the Philippines President Cynthia Carrion. Carrion has supported Yulo since his teens and throughout his Olympic journey. In addition to the house-and-lot package, CPG donated P500,000 to the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines.
Present during the handover ceremony for Yulo’s PHirst house-and-lot unit were CPG executive chairman Jose E.B. Antonio, CPG vice chairman John Victor R. Antonio, CPG president and CEO Marco Antonio, PHirst EVP and COO Loren Sales, PHirst CFO Rodel Marqueses, PHirst AVP for Business Development and Project Development Arnel Eusebio, and PHirst VP for Technical and Operations Group Roy Lachica.
In a similar gesture, CPG and PHirst awarded a house-and-lot to the Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, in 2021, honoring her victory in weightlifting at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
