Filipino medalists in the 24th Southeast Asian Games will get an extra bonus for Christmas from President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Philippine Olympic Committee president Jose Cojuangco Jr. said.
“I have been informed by Malacañang that President Arroyo will give all of our Southeast Asian Games medalists bonuses, regardless whether they win the gold, silver or bronze,†said Cojuangco shortly after witnessing the Team Philippines swimmers perform at the end of the championships.
“This should be good news for all or our SEA Games achievers. However, I was not informed how much they will get,†Cojuangco added.
He pointed out that the cash gifts were on top of the regular incentives given by the government through the Philippine Sports Commission for SEAG medalists.
Under the scheme, an individual gold medalist gets P100,000, the silver is worth P50,000 and the bronze P10,000.
