Mark Andrew Yulo, the father of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, couldn’t stop praising another athlete for helping her family.
In a Facebook post, Mr. Yulo shared a report about Olympic medalist Nesthy Petecio’s decision to dedicate the cash incentives she received to help her parents.
“Idol Nesthy Alcayde Petecio,” said Mr. Yulo
Mark Andrew also shared another post from a social user who made a message about the love of parents.
It can be recalled that Nesthy shared her dedication to her boxing journey, saying that she wanted to make the lives of her parents comfortable.
“Ayoko na naghihirap pa sila, so kung kaya ko silang tulungan. ‘Yun ang pangarap ko sa kanila, lagi ko na ngang nakakalimutan ang sarili ko mas gusto kong nakikita na okay ‘yung mga kapatid ko, pamangkin ko, mama ko, ganun lang kasimple ang pangarap ko,” said Neshy.
She also decided to distribute the properties she received as a reward for her participation in the Tokyo Olympics to her siblings.
“Yung mga bahay at lupa na natanggap ko, binigay ko lahat sa mga kapatid ko. Para talaga sa kanila ‘yon,” said Petecio.
“Maliban pa don, namili rin ako ng mga lupa,” she added.
