Comedy Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas fulfilled her promise to visit the mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, Angelica Yulo, on October 15, 2024.

In a Karaoke bar in Malate Manila, Ai-Ai and Angelica started selling to offer several clothes to their followers.

Internet personalities like Director Darryl Yap, and Boss Toyo also participated at the live selling and also bought some items from Angelica.

During their meeting, Ai-Ai and Angelica quickly showed mutual admiration for each other.

The comedian also invited Angelica to become a featured guest of “The Clash, Agad-Agad,” which could be watched on Ai-Ai’s official Facebook page.

In the middle of the event, Mark Andrew Yulo also arrived and sang with Ai-Ai.

Ai-Ai also asked Angelica if Carlos had already sent his greetings for his father’s birthday, but the latter said that she had ‘no idea.’

It can be recalled that Ai-Ai described herself as part of ‘Team Nanay,’ amid the issue between Carlos and his parents.

Until now, Carlos has refused to meet his parents after he accused them of pocketing the money he had gained from international competitions.

Some netizens couldn’t stop themselves from making claims against Oyo.

“Anak yata ni Kristine 2 sa ibang lalaki happy birthday kiel,” the netizen said.

“Babati na lang po kayo, mali pa ang chismis. Walang ibang anak ang asawa ko sa ibang lalaki. Mag research po kayo ng maigi o kaya naman magbasa po kayo,” Oyo replied.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo explained why he didn’t reach the average height of Filipinos.

It can be recalled that Carlos was only 4’9″ in height based on his official records, which prompted some of his critics to call him ‘midget’ or ‘pandak.’

However, Carlos explained that his height may be the result of his hard training.

“I never stopped training,” said Carlos. “That explains bakit hindi na po ako lumaki. ‘Yung mga buto ko po sa tuhod ay hindi ma-i-stretch dahil hindi po ako tumigil sa training. Most specially when I train for floor exercise where there’s extreme impact on the feet and the knee,”

“I train for six hours a day. Three hours in the morning, 9 a.m. to 12 noon. Three hours also in the afternoon, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. I train every day. No holiday. No birthday. No weekends,” he added.

Despite being a small man compared to other people, Carlos’s height became an advantage in his sports. Many believed that being smaller made it easier for him to do difficult gymnastics moves.

The most decorated gymnast of all time, Simon Biles, was only 4’8″ tall.

However, many believed that Carlos’ intense training had nothing to do with his current height, as his genes may be the most significant factor contributing to his size.

The vocalist of the International band Journey, Arnel Pineda, shared how important it is for children to love their parents.

In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Arnel believed people should love their parents as soon as possible because they were not replaceable.

It can be recalled that Arnel lost his mother when he was just 13 due to an illness, which also put their family deep in debt.

“Iisa lang ang nanay at tatay. Nakikita niyo minsan napapabayaan niyo siya or tine-take for granted niyo lang sila, mahalin niyo sila hangga’t meron kayong chance na mahalin sila,” he said.

“In a wink of an eye, baka bigla silang mawala kaya kailangan walang pagsisisi or walang panghihinayang na sana ginawa ko ‘to sa nanay ko,” he said. “Sana sinabi ko ‘to sa nanay ko. Sana niyakap ko ‘yung tatay ko ng ganon. Na sana nagpasalamat ako sa kanila kasi mahal na mahal nila ako,”

According to him, the best time to love their parents was now.

“Wag na kayo magpasubali pa or wag na kayo mag-delay. Right now mahalin niyo na agad sila kasi talagang iisa lang sila,” he stated.

Arnel’s statement received praise from the netizens, especially from parents.

Actor Rodjun Cruz expressed his support for his friend, Julie Anne San Jose after the singer received criticism on social media after she performed inside a Church last week.

Julie Anne went viral on social media after she danced and sang to the tune of Dancing Queen, Edge of Glory, and the Climb at Nuestra Señora del Pilar Parish in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro.

Rodjun believed that Julie Anne only showed professionalism by performing at the event.

“Wala kang kasalanan dun. Professional ka lang talaga at iniiisip mo lang palagi na mapasaya at ma inspire ang mga audience mo!” said Rodjun.

Julie Anne already apologized for her actions and vowed not to repeat the same mistake again.

Meanwhile, the Parish Priest of the Church also asked the Catholic faithful for forgiveness.

“Buong kababaang-loob po akong humihingi ng kapatawaran sa lahat ng nasaktan mula sa mga pagkakamaling nasaksihan sa Heavenly Harmony Concert na ginanap sa Nuestra Senora del Pilar Shrine and Parish noong ika6 ng Oktubre 2024,” Fr. Carlito Meim Dimaano said.

“Inaamin ko pong may mga mali kaming desisyon ukol dito. Inaamin ko po ang lahat ng mga pagkakamaling ito,” he added.

The event was supposed to raise funds to improve the facilities of the church.

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo was nowhere to be seen during the birthday party celebration of his father, Mark Andrew Yulo.

In her post, Carlos’ mother, Angelica Yulo, posted some of the moments taken during the party held at Newport World Resorts in Pasay on October 12, 2024.

“Celebrating Mark Andrew Yulo’s birthday with the fambam. Thank you so much to our sponsor miss jojie and her husband. God bless you always,” she wrote.

During the party, the Yulo family enjoyed dancing and singing to the music prepared by the establishment.

Despite the successful celebration, netizens noticed that someone was missing during the event.

It can be recalled that last August, Carlos already vowed to meet his father.

“Maraming salamat, Pa. Masaya ako nakita kita don nakasuporta!” said Carlos. “Pasensya na, Pa, hindi ako masyado nakakaway. Ang daming nagpa-autograph hehe. Kitakits soon, Pa,” 

However, until today, the world-class gymnast has yet to meet his father or send him a birthday message.

Mark already stated many times that he wanted to meet Carlos and even urged the latter to apologize to his mother.

Carlos left his family and didn’t talk to them since the time he accused his parents of pocketing the money he saved from joining international competitions.

Actress Heart Evangelista’s personal assistant revealed ‘receipts’ to prove that her boss was invited first to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The issue started when netizen @whenapino talked about someone who ‘refused’ an invitation from a fashion company without even getting an invitation in the first place.

“Inunahan na nung isa na nag refuse sya pero ang totoo di sya “impayted”. Hanapan nyo pa sya ng resibo,” the netizen wrote.

Former Heart’s make-up artist and current member of Pia Wurtzbach’s glam team, Justin Soriano, then confirmed what @whenapino wrote.

As a response, Heart’s assistant, Reszty Rose, revealed the conversation between Ira Lesaca, Assistant Manager at Sparkle GMA Artist Center, and a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show representative to prove that the actress was invited to the event.

“Hindi to eme eme lang kaya wag niyo kami hanapan ng resibo dahil patola ako hindi okra,” said Reszty.

It can be recalled that Pia was set to attend the Victoria’s Secret Show in New York.

Meanwhile, some netizens called out Justin for allegedly trying to intensify the competition between Pia and Heart by commenting on netizens’ claims against his former boss.

Justin had already been accused by Heart’s fans of allegedly giving the fashion company contacts of his former boss to Pia.

Some netizens urged Pia to remove Justin from her team as the latter couldn’t stop talking and being the instigator of issues.

The former make-up artist of Heart Evangelista finally ended his silence after months of accusations they received from the netizens.

In his comment, Justin Soriano denied that his new boss, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach, used Heart’s contact information to gain access to several international fashion brands.

According to Justin, Pia was already well-connected even before they were hired by the beauty queen.

“Pia never ever stole any contacts or whatever. Lalo na kami. We are only glam team and hindi nga namin kilala or close mga PR. Also PIA is PIA! She has walked the runway in new york when she was miss universe,” said Justin. “She already attended a lot of fashion shows in new york way back 2015! So that cheating thing is actually invented so people can draw hate towards pia,”

“Hayy buti nalang when brands hear or read this things all the more they show love to Pia. The universe talaga is so powerful,” he said.

He also claimed that Pia already has a connection with several personalities in the fashion world, so there was no point in the beauty queen using Heart’s contacts.

As of writing, Heart has yet to give any response to Justin’s claims.

Content creator Chloe San Jose responded to the netizens who accused her of siphoning her boyfriend’s money, two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

In one of her posts, some netizens reminded her not to spend Carlos’ money, who reportedly received more than P100-M after winning two gold medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“Paalala wag mo ubusin pera ni Carlos, maawa ka Chloe,” the netizen told Chloe.

However, Chloe said that she didn’t need to spend Carlos’ money because she was earning her own.

“Why would I feel the need to do that? I have my own,” she said.

It can be recalled that Chloe was even accused by Carlos’ family of being a bad influence on the athlete.

However, Chloe’s fans insisted that she earned money as a content creator in the Philippines.

Meanwhile, a lawyer was pushing for the deportation of Chloe if she was proven to be an Australian Citizen due to her lack of a permit to work in the Philippines.

As of writing, Chloe has yet to give any response to the questions about her citizenship.
