MANILA, Philippines — A touch of nostalgia shrouds the San Miguel Corporation-Philippine Sportswriters Association (SMC-PSA) Awards Night on Jan. 27 as Filipinos who have represented flag and country in the Olympics will be honored at the Manila Hotel.

Members of the Philippine contingent to both the Paris Olympics and Paralympic Games will be recognized.

And in observance of the country’s century of participation in the quadrennial showcase, beloved members of Philippine teams to the Olympics in the last 60 years will also be feted in what should be the biggest Awards Night ever by the nation’s oldest media organization headed by its president Nelson Beltran, sports editor of The Philippine Star.

Previous Olympic teams will have their representatives as distinguished by the Philippine Olympians Association.

Filipino double gold medal winner Carlos Yulo and fellow Paris Olympic medalists Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas will receive the highest awards in the formal affair co-presented by ArenaPlus, Cignal and MediaQuest.

Yulo is the recipient of the Athlete of the Year while major awards will be handed out to both Petecio and Villegas during the star-studded gathering supported by the Philippine Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee, Milo, PLDT/Smart, Sen. Bong Go, and Januarius Holdings, with backing from the PBA, PVL, 1-Pacman Party List, Rain or Shine, Akari and AcroCity.

The country’s breakthrough gold medalist in the Olympics, Hidilyn Diaz, will be enshrined in the PSA Hall of Fame.
