Angelica Yulo, the mother of Olympic Gold Medalist Carlos Yulo, finally speaks about her problems with her son.
It can be recalled that Angelica went viral on social media after she openly supported the opponent of her son during the All-Around finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
A family friend of Yulo family revealed that the problem started due to the differences of Carlos and Angelica regarding their financial decisions.
In an interview with Star FM Manila, Angelica revealed the reason for their misunderstanding and confirmed that it was really about financials.
According to Angelica, the only money she possessed was the P70,000 worth of incentives received by Carlos from the World Championships 2021.
She also hinted they didn’t trust Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, which was the reason why she was the one who received the money.
“Sakin binigay ni ma’am Weng kasi red flag din sa kanila ‘yung girl. So ayun sa akin ibinigay, so ang ginawa ko nararamdaman ko na bilang ina na parang ang sabi ko is baka maubos ng anak ko in the future,” said Angelica.
“So ang ginawa ko idineposit ko siya under my name sa BPI Account, tapos pina-hold ko siya at ginawa ko siyang bond for credit card,” she added.
She attempted to return the credit card after a discussion with Carlos, but she claimed that the bank already told them that they needed to wait for two years before the money could be withdrawn.
“Ang naging mitsa lang talaga is ‘yung babae, ‘yung girl, lalong lumaki kasi nagkaroon ng training camp si Caloy kasama ko ‘yung asawa ko, naghatid kami sa Terminal 3, ang sabi sakin ni Reynald, yung coach niya ‘Tita alam mo na ba ‘yung nangyari?’ sabi ko ‘No I have no idea at all’ kasi hindi naman kami nagkakausap ni Caloy eh, so wala kaming idea talaga,” she said.
Angelica said that Chloe was living at Carlos’ apartment, which was supposed to be exclusively used by athletes as the government was funding it for sports development.
Carlos’ mother started to dislike Chloe when she felt that the latter was already trying to get the athlete’s attention for herself.
As of writing, Carlos has yet to give her response to his mother.
