Hidilyn Diaz, who won first Olympic gold medal for Philippines, rewarded with $600,000 and two homes

Hidilyn Diaz won the first Olympic gold medal for the Philippines on Monday. The weightlifter ended the country's 97-year Olympic drought, and now will be rewarded for her historic accomplishment. Diaz will receive at least 33 million pesos – about $600,000 – from the country. She has also been offered two homes.

The 30-year-old will be given a condo in the Eastwood City development in Quezon City by Megaworld, a property empire owned by real estate tycoon Dr. Andrew L. Tan.  "This epic moment is about 97 years in the making, and this is our way of saying thanks to Hidilyn for making us all proud," Kevin L. Tan, chief strategy officer of Megaworld Corporation, said in a statement. "We believe that it's just right to give our first-ever Olympic gold medalist a home in our first-ever township, Eastwood City, where she can enjoy the township lifestyle with her family and loved ones."
