Posted on July 28, 2012 | 3:01 PM

Weightlifter Hidilyn Diaz led the Philippine contingent for the 2012 London Olympic Games during the opening ceremonies parade of athletes held at the Olympic Stadium, Stratford, England.

Hidilyn Diaz was a native of Zamboanga who already competed four years ago in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She was the very first Filipino weightlifter to represent the country in two-straight Olympics and based on the video, Hidilyn must be very proud to be the country's flag bearer in the 30th Olympiad.
