Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz Wins Philippines’ First Gold Medal in Tokyo Olympics By Jim Bea Sampaga

or the first time since the Philippines joined the Olympics in 1924, weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz won the Philippines’ first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics on July 26. Hailing from Zamboanga, the 30-year-old not only won the gold medal but also set two new Olympic records in
Hidilyn Diaz (NEWS FEATURE: Remembering Lilia....from page 14)
have written in this essay are just a few of her achievements in and outside of academia. I believe I have unraveled the breadth and depth of her intellectual capabilities and character. She had expressed some of her deeper thoughts in one of her last essays, written shortly before she died. She narrated a portion of the life of the Philippine national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Rizal had written a touching and sympathetic letter to the young wom-
en of Malolos who petitioned the Spanish authorities in the 1890s to build a school where they could learn Spanish and be able to teach it to their fellow Filipinos. The Spanish Governor-General had denied their request. Santiago kept on writing until the very end of her life. She was a true believer in equality, peace, and social justice. Unfortunately, she passed a relatively short period in her lifetime but her legacy in
the intellectual, social, and cultural field will always be cherished by generations now and in the future. DR. BELINDA AQUINO is Professor Emeritus at the University of Hawaii at Manoa where she served as Professor of Political Science and Asian Studies as well as Founding Director of the Center for Philippine Studies for more than three decades before retiring. An accomplished journalist, she is a Contributing Editor of the Hawaii Filipino Chronicle and other international publications.
weightlifting: 127kg in the clean and jerk and a total lift of 224kg. The Tokyo Olympics isn’t Diaz’s first Olympic games. She went to the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics but it wasn’t until the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics that she won a silver medal in women’s weightlifting. Diaz is the first Filipina athlete to bring home double Olympic medals. She is also one of the three Filipino athletes who has brought home Olympic medals for the Philippines. In 1928 Amsterdam and 1932 Los Angeles Olympics, swimmer Teofilo Yldefonso won bronze medals. While in 1996 Atlanta, boxer Mansueto “Onyok” Velasco won the silver medal in the light flyweight division. (Solution to Crossword No. 7 | July 17, 2021)
