Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo addressed his mother after their issue was publicized on social media.
In his statement, Carlos said that he was acknowledging the congratulatory message made by his mother, but he hinted that he was not yet ready to meet her.
“Nakita ko po sa balita na kino-congratulate niyo ko, kung genuine po talaya kayo ma, maraming maraming salamat po ina-acknowledge ko po ‘yon pagko-congratulate niyo sakin,” he said.
“Pero nagpa-flash back parin po ‘yung mga masasakit niyong sinabi sakin at mga hindi niyo pag wishwell sakin,” he added.
Despite his disappointment towards his mother, Carlos wished for his mother’s well-being.
“Ang message ko po sa inyo ma, mag-heal kayo, mag move on at napatawad ko na po kayo long time ago, pinagpe-pray ko na maging safe kayo palagi at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan diyan lahat,” he said.
It can be recalled that Mrs. Yulo went viral on social media after her post praising Japan’s performance during the 2024 Paris Olympics was uncovered by netizens.
Japan won during the said competition while Carlos was only twelve, which the netizens interpreted as a post against her own son.
