It took 97 years, but the Philippines has its first-ever Olympic gold medal. Hidilyn Diaz made history on Monday when she won the gold medal for women's 55-kilogram weightlifting, ending the Philippines' gold medal drought that started when it first began participating in the Summer Games in 1924.

Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, who 'came from nothing,' wins first-ever Olympic gold medal for the Philippines

Philippines' first Olympic gold medalist was once accused of plotting to overthrow the president, but the man who accused her is now thanking her for winning

I keep confusing the spelling of that country: whether two Ls or two Ps or both two Ls and two Ps.
