Film Development Council of the Philippines and award-winning director Joey Javier Reyes asked his friends in the media industry to stop giving any platform to two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s mother.
In his Facebook post, Reyes said that Angelica’s statement against her son tarnished the people’s celebration of the honor brought by Carlos to the country.
“So please don’t give media space to a drama queen mother who wants to tarnish the moment of GLORY of HER OWN SON regardless of personal reason. She and her narrative should be collectively IGNORED,” said Joey.
It can be recalled that the discussion on Carlos’ victory quickly transitioned to the talks about his family issues after Mrs. Yulo publicly expressed her support to the Japan gymnastics team.
The issue was also amplified by Mrs. Yulo’s statement about her son and her problems with Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.
Even today, people are still talking about the issue.
