MANILA, Philippines — Cignal TV, the country’s leading sports content provider, played a key role in the success of the Paris Olympics by enabling Filipinos worldwide to witness historic moments on different fronts.
Filipinos here and abroad were able to watch the action live, and cheered on the Filipino athletes as they competed and vied for medals, led by double-gold winner Carlos Yulo of gymnastics and bronze winners Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas of boxing.
