Olympic Gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz receives her PhP14-M fully-furnished condo unit in Eastwood City

The Philippines’ first and only Olympic gold medalist, Hidilyn Diaz, can now officially call Eastwood City her home.

WELCOME HOME. Megaworld chief strategy officer, Kevin L. Tan (right), formally turns over the P14-million, fully furnished two-bedroom residential condominium unit gifted to Filipino Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz. The unit, located at One Eastwood Avenue in Eastwood City, is a gift from tycoon Dr. Andrew L. Tan and property giant Megaworld. Among the centerpieces inside the unit is a commissioned charcoal painting done by 21-year old John Ken Gomez showing Diaz’s historic Olympic moment. 

The 30-year-old Diaz today received her P14-million, fully-furnished two-bedroom condominium unit gift at the 47-storey One Eastwood Avenue from tycoon Dr. Andrew L. Tan and property giant Megaworld, days after returning to the country following a successful stint at the just concluded Olympic Games held in Tokyo, Japan.

The unit, which was specially curated by Megaworld’s in-house interior design team, comes complete with furniture and fixtures as well as appliances.

“All that Hidilyn and her family need to do is just bring their clothes and other personal effects, and they are good to stay in the unit. We are excited to welcome her and her family and loved ones to Eastwood City, particularly in this newest residential condominium tower in our first-ever township. She has brought so much pride to our country and she deserves all these rewards for her hardwork in raising our flag so high in the Tokyo Olympics,” says Kevin L. Tan, chief strategy officer, Megaworld, and son of the real estate magnate. 

Also lending a nostalgic feel to Diaz’s new space is a commissioned charcoal painting by 21-year-old fine arts student, John Ken Gomez, which captured two images of Diaz’s historic and emotional moment at the Tokyo Olympics, and a special message from Megaworld that says, ‘Thank you for lifting our country up high.’ This is prominently displayed in the unit’s living room.

“The story of Hidilyn’s victory is a great source of inspiration for Filipinos. I hope every time she looks at that artwork, she will be reminded that she is a symbol of hope and pride for all of us,” Gomez shares.

A winning township lifestyle

As an owner of a condo unit, Diaz and her family can enjoy the first-class amenities of One Eastwood Avenue, which include a badminton court at the roofdeck, landscaped gardens, a lap pool with pool seat jets, paved sunbathing lounge and seating area, and a bar with indoor and outdoor lounge. There are also skygardens located on the 8th, 18th, and 28th floors of the tower.

 


Other amenities include a kiddie pool and a wading pool, male and female shower and changing rooms, kids’ playground, children’s playroom, reflexology path and meditation garden, a yoga and Pilates room, function rooms, an outdoor chess area, game room, and a fitness center – where Hidilyn can spend time to practice her sport. 

 

Since One Eastwood Avenue is in a township setting, malls and commercial centers, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants, banks, pet shops, retail stores, hotel, and even a church are just walkable and easily accessible without driving or commuting.


“It will be a very convenient lifestyle for Hidilyn and her family. In fact, there are other celebrities and renowned personalities who have also chosen Eastwood City as their home for many years now because of this,” adds Tan. ###

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible.

From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau
