Naglabas ang Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) ng commemorative stamps bilang pagkilala sa apat na atletang Pinoy na lumahok sa 2020 Tokyo Olympics at nag-uwi ng karangalan sa ating bansa.
Ipinakita ng PHLPost sa publiko noong September 11, 2021 ang mga bagong selyo na nagtatampok kina Hidilyn Diaz, Carlo Paalam, Nesthy Petecio at Eumir Marcial.
Ginanap ang unveiling ng commemorative stamps sa Manila Central Post Office.
Dumalo sa okasyon ang apat na Olympic medalists.
Ayon kay Postmaster General Norman Fulgencio, "The stamps featuring the winning moments of our very own first Olympic gold medalist Ms. Hidilyn Diaz and her fellow Team Pilipinas Olympic medalist and boxing champions Carlo Paalam, Nesthy Petecio, and Eumir Marcial remind us how important they are to be recognized properly in what they are doing to keep our Philippine flag high and shining in the world of sports.
“The glory they have given to our nation and to the Filipino people is priceless.”
Sinabi naman ni Hidilyn na mahalaga pa rin hanggang ngayon ang pagpapadala ng liham sa pamamagitan ng koreo.
Aniya, "In this time of social media and the internet, I hope we still have the space and connection similar to writing using stamps or seals.
"During this time of the pandemic, even if we don’t see each other, let’s continue to inspire and give hope and heroism to others. We need to discover a way to make our communication creative and deeper like what PHLPost is doing.”
Pinasalamatan din niya ang PHLPost sa pagkilala sa tagumpay ng mga atletang Pinoy sa katatapos lang na Olympics.
Dagdag ni Hidilyn, “Thank you so much for this honor. This has become part of history, not only for me or for the athletes here, but for all of us Filipinos."
