Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo became a topic again among netizens after they noticed that a popular powdered chocolate brand did not recognize him.
It can be recalled that Carlos was supported by the said brand since he was still a kid.
However, some netizens noticed the brand’s treatment of Carlos after he won two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In a tweet, AltA2Z posted a photo of Filipino pole vaulter EJ Obiena, who was recognized by the brand, and questioned why Carlos didn’t receive the same treatment.
The page even suspected that it might related to Carlos’ issue with his family.
“I like EJ and I admire his personality pero bakit hindi yung mga bronze medalist natin na boxers ang nandito? Sorry to ask ah, kasi naiintindihan ko yung kay Yulo pero yung sa mga boxers natin nasaan sila? Olympian Bronze medalist sila ah!” netizen Jangdee said.
With @MiloPH not recognizing Carlos Yulo, it means that they are tolerating TOXIC FAMILY CULTURE. pic.twitter.com/OmQwVud65H

Meanwhile some netizens believed that it might be related to Carlos’ lack of contract with the brand.
“Nag iingat lang Milo. Now na maraming kumukuha kay Carlos as endorser and he is currently not under contract baka magkaroon ng conflict. I don’t think dragging his family problems into it is necessary,” netizen Catrina remarked.
The brand was one of the brands that congratulated Carlos during his Paris victory.
