Carlos Yulo’s mother, Angelica Poquiz Yulo, was receiving flak after she openly supported Japan and took several swipes against her own child on social media.
On her social media page, Mrs. Yulo could be seen cheering for Japan after she shared a post showing her son only placing twelve during the ALL-AROUND finals during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Japan pa din talaga.. lakas!” said Mrs. Yulo.
Her post was criticized after Carlos won a gold medal for floor exercises, and some netizens even asked why a mother would do such a thing against her child.
FEUD BETWEEN CARLOS AND HIS FAMILY
According to some reports, the feud started when Carlos allegedly accused his family of pocketing his money.
An open letter written by Sports Bytes Philippines hinted at the issue of the Olympic Gold Medalist.
“As sons, we still have an obligation to our families, especially our parents. They make sure that our needs are met and our futures secure. If the money that was allegedly stolen from you is invested in a house or kept securely in a bank, there is a reason,” said Brian Yalung of Sports Bytes PH.
The rift between the family was also intensified by the negative posts made by Carlos’ mother and siblings against him.
It could be noticed that Yulo’s sister also cheered Japan during the All-Around finals instead of supporting her own brother.
Carlos’ fans urged the Olympic Gold Medalist not to reconnect with his family, especially now that he can already live on his own after receiving millions of pesos in rewards.
