Mark Andrew Yulo, the father of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, urged his son to apologize to his mother, Angelica Yulo.
In his comment on an article published by ABS-CBN, Mark addressed his son to throw his pride and admit his mistakes to his mother.
According to him, reconciling with his mother might be a good way for Carlos to gain public approval.
“Dapat matuto siyang mag sorry sa kanyang nanay na mali ang sabihan niya ang kanyang nanay na magnanakaw para gumanda ang kanyang imahen,” said Mr. Yulo.
The post received mixed reactions from the netizens, who were surprised by Mr. Yulo’s statements as he was known to be on good terms with Carlos.
Carlos even vowed to meet his father soon, but the gymnast’s statement remained a promise.
Carlos accused his family of pocketing the cash incentives he received from participating in international competitions.
However, Mr. Yulo said that Carlos’ accusations were hard to prove as their lifestyle remained unchanged.
“6 million pa lang ‘yung pera niya, then naging 11 million. Hindi naubos ‘yun. Bakit namin nanakawin yan?” said Mr. Yulo. “Kung nasa amin yung pera, sana umalis na kami sa looban. Sana may mga account na kami, may kotse na kami. Wala nga kami, nagko-commute lang kami,”
