Here's a heartwarming story from this month's winners: it turns out one of our winners is Onyok Velasco, the Olympic boxing silver medalist who (in the hearts and minds of many Filipinos) was robbed of what should have been our country's first Olympic gold medal.
The beautiful part is that Onyok's wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl the day after the draw. She didn't make it to the Awarding Ceremonies today as she was still indisposed. Still the cash should come in handy for this good-looking couple, who really need the good luck! Onyok joked that he would name the baby "Resibo."
Onyok came to the Awarding to personally collect his check from Finance Sec. Gary Teves, and naturally the media guys were all over him. His clip made all the evening TV news reports. Let's hope this means more people think about JOINING PSR!
