SMC chief Ramon Ang hands rewards to Olympic winning boxers
MANILA -- San Miguel Corporation president Ramon S. Ang has personally handed his cash incentives to Tokyo Olympic medalists Eumir Marcial, Carlo Paalam and Nesthy Petecio.
All the three boxers hail from Mindanao. Marcial is from Zamboanga City, while Paalam and Petecio come from Cagayan de Oro and Davao del Sur, respectively. He said the country’s first Olympic gold would serve to inspire the three Olympic boxers to vie for the gold in one of the Filipinos’ favorite sport, where Anthony Villanueva and Mansueto “Onyok” Velasco went as far as a silver finish in 1964 in Tokyo and 1996 in Atlanta, respectively.
