It’s good to be Carlos Yulo, the Filipino gymnast who just won a pair of gold medals at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. If you think Hidilyn Diaz struck gold in 2021 when she became the first Filipino athlete to bring home an Olympic gold medal, you have to see the list of Yulo’s rewards.

Car enthusiasts drooled when Toyota Motor Philippines announced that the world champ would get a brand-new Land Cruiser Prado—prompting sports fans to wonder if Caloy wasn’t equally deserving of a lifetime supply of fuel. After all, a 2.4-liter turbo gasoline engine isn’t cheap to own and operate.

You know what else a new owner of a premium and hefty SUV will need to totally enjoy his car ownership? Parking. Yep, in a country where parking space is a precious commodity, that little plot of concrete is equivalent to one’s peace of mind.

Enter Megaworld Corporation, which gave Caloy a 100sq-m condo unit at McKinley Hill for his stellar feat. The fully furnished three-bedroom condo comes with a parking slot.

After Toyota’s announcement of Caloy’s new Prado, Megaworld shared a photo of the parking slot that will now serve as this vehicle’s shelter:

Our gift of condo unit to Carlos Yulo comes with a parking slot, perfect for his brand-new car. This parking slot, which has its own Certificate of Title, is in a prime location as it is conveniently situated just in front of the elevator lobby. We got you covered, Caloy!

One thing we like about this parking slot—besides its being absolutely free, obviously—is that it is secured by four pillars. This means the vehicle will have extra protection against reckless drivers who routinely damage proximate cars at parking lots.

Ah, to be a world-class, gold-medal-winning athlete! PHOTO FROM MEGAWORLD CORPORATION

Congratulations, Caloy! You did the country proud. Enjoy your new Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and its McKinley Hill parking slot.

Now, about that lifetime supply of fuel…
