After Benildean and Olympian Hidilyn Diaz bagged the Philippines’ first gold at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics 55kg Women’s Weightlifting division last July 26, several private sectors graced her with numerous incentives worth millions of pesos for her to enjoy.

The Benildean Business Management student is set to receive great benefits and incentives after her historic win. However, her prizes are not tax-free unless private sectors pay for the donor’s tax.
