The Philippines’ first Olympic gold medalist, weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz, has been preparing for her wedding to her coach-trainer Julius Naranjo, and she finally found a designer for her gown, the veteran Francis Libiran.

Libiran announced Diaz’s choice by showing a photo of himself with the Olympic champion and her fiance Naranjo, via Instagram last Wednesday, March 2. Libiran’s business partner, Arsi Baltazar, was also present.
