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.

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.

Internet celebrity Chloe San Jose clapped back to the netizens who accused her of being a ‘retokada.’

In one of her posts, Chloe denied that she had already undergone procedures to enhance her appearance.

However, she admitted that she was planning to acquire ‘enhancements.’

“Yan ubusin mo million ni caloy ritukada kna man lahat mukha kapa din bakla, sa sunod ugali mo na iparituki mo walang respito walang galang sa magulang,” a netizen told Chloe.

“Sorry to say I’m not retokada at all lol – on my way though to get enhancements, stay tuned,” she said.

It’s not yet known who will shoulder the expenses for her enhancements.

It can be recalled that Chloe was also facing accusations from the netizens that she was manipulating her boyfriend, two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, for financial gains.

The accusations started when Chloe described Carlos as a ‘gift giver.’

Carlos reportedly earned more than P150-M from his cash incentives and other rewards for winning two Olympic gold medals.

Karl Eldrew Yulo asked his father to stop talking about two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

In a video, Eldrew and his father, Mark Andrew, were having a livestream when the latter mentioned Carlos.

Eldrew pleaded with his father not to mention Carlos because it may spark another issue.

“Batiin mo kaya ang kuya mo para mawala ‘yung mga troll,” said Mark Andrew.

“Hayaan mo na sila ‘pa, wag na natin sila pansinin lalo lang magkakagulo mga ‘yan, sabihin peke tayo,” Eldrew responded.

However, instead of stopping, Mark Andrew still mentioned Carlos’ name several times and even asked him to return home.

“Umuwi ka na sa bahay, mahal na mahal ka ni Papa,” said Mr. Yulo.

Eldrew then apologized to the viewers and explained that his father didn’t know the possible setbacks of his statements.

“Pasensya na guys pinapagalitan ko siya hindi niya maintindihan [na] ‘yung mga taong nasa paligid niya, alam niya naman maraming nagsasabing peke kami,” Eldrew stated.

Mr. Yulo then said he was confident that Carlos would return to them.

It can be recalled that last month, Carlos vowed to meet his father, but until today, the Filipino gymnast reportedly refused to respond to his family’s attempts to reach him.

Comedy Queen Ai-Ai delas Alas gave advice to Angelica Yulo amid her possible participation in the Mrs. Philippines next year.

It can be recalled that the President of Mrs. Philippines already expressed their interest in inviting Angelica to the pageant.

“I wish to speak to Angelica. Maybe I can, you know, be somehow a relief to her. Kahit coffee lang. She’s very much welcome to join Mrs. Philippines 2025. Why not?” Mrs. Philippines President Erika Joy Santos said.

“I think na naging gymnast yung mga anak niya because naghirap din siya for it. She surely sacrificed a lot of things para ma-suportahan lahat ng anak niya. And I believe in the goodness and kindness of motherhood,” she added.

However, while Ai-Ai believed Angelica would nail the Question-and-answer portion of Mrs. Philippines, she still wanted the latter to prepare physically for the event.

“Magpaseksi ka muna bago tayo sumali doon. Pero sa question ang answer, mukhang panalo ka,” said Ai-Ai.

“Pero kailangan magpa-bump muna tayo, mader, para winner ka! Hindi, dapat uuwi kang winner!” she added.

As of writing, Angelica has yet to give her answer to the Mrs. Philippine organization.

If she won the competition, Angelica would receive P150,000 and possible brand endorsement offers.

Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach was facing backlash after she allegedly tried to portray herself as one of the guests of a prestigious fashion show in New York.

In her Instagram post, Pia could be seen tagging her location in New York City while sharing a video taken during the fashion show.

“How can one miss their signature hues, bright yellows, and not to mention, the polka dots?” Pia wrote.

However, some eagle-eyed netizens discovered that the video was originally published by the fashion website stylenotcom.

Some netizens who saw Pia’s original post said that the beauty queen didn’t mention the magazine at first, which misled the netizens who thought that she was present at the fashion show.

They expressed disappointment at why Pia was allegedly trying to pretend that she was included at the event, even if it was unnecessary.

Some of them suspected that Pia was trying to compete with another Filipina fashionista.

“Ang disappointing lang na ganito ang direction ni Pia lately. Wala naman na siya kelangang patunayan sa totoo lang (for me lang naman to, maganda siya, happily married and di naman siya siguro mauubusan ng work dahil may kukuha pa rin naman sa kanya na brands and causes for being a Miss Universe winner) pero baket naging ganyaaaaan,” a netizen said.

“Agree. Anong mapapala mo if hindi ka invited sa event or lalo na if you pass it off as andun ka pero wala ka namam talaga sa NYFW. Medyo trying hard ang dating maging fashionista at sosyalera. Kaya di ako naniniwala na inosente yan about sa stolen contacts ni heart kasi gusto nya na maging next heart e kaso sorry na talaga hindi bagay eh,” another netizen wrote.

The Southeast Asian Achievement Awards committee announced that it would award a prize to the mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

In a Facebook post, the Southeast Asian Achievement Awards included Angelica Yulo as one of their awardees in the 7th year of their award, which is set to be held on September 14, 2024, at the Manila hotel.

“Being a mom is never easy. Angelica, like all of us, is human—imperfect and learning as she goes. But what makes her story so powerful is the way she embraced every challenge. For nine months, she carried each of her children in her womb, and with the unwavering support of her husband, they managed to overcome the trials of poverty and life’s many unexpected setbacks,” the statement of the organization read.

“Through it all, Angelica stood tall as the guiding light for her family. She not only nourished and raised her children, but also encouraged and nurtured their talents. Despite the hurdles, she found people and organizations to help her children excel in gymnastics, and today, with the grace of our Heavenly Father, her children have become champions—not just locally, but internationally,” they added.

Aside from Angelica, her son, Karl Eldrew Yulo, also received an award from the same organization.

Veteran actor John Regala couldn’t hide his disappointment after his colleagues in showbusiness ignored his request for financial help.

In his open letter, he asked his former friends in showbiz to help him because he was required to undergo an operation.

He also reminded his former colleagues about his contribution in the showbiz industry and he was hoping that they still remembered it.

“Mahal kung mga kapatid sa industria. Ito’y bukas na liham sanay ma unawaan niyo ang nilalaman ng liham na ito. Mahigit tatlong dekada naring akong artista at ng bigay ako ng kasiyahan at karangalan sa industria ng pilikula. Nag bigay karangalan sa pelikulang pilipino marami naring akong ibahagi sa mga bida at kuntrabida man ng pinilakang tabing . Kaya ako nmn po ang na ngangailangan po sa ngayon sana po wag namn akon ipahiya sa hihilingin sa inyo .ngayon namn po ako humingi ng tulong sa ating guild.” John said.

According to him, he was required to be treated as soon as possible.

“Ayaw ko po pumanaw na inutil lalo na sa mga harapan ng mga taong akala ko ay habang buhay kung makakasama.bigyan niyo namm ako kunting dignidad ako’y nag susumamo don bilang john regala karapatdapat nmn akong sa respetong yan,” he said.

However, it seems that the actor fail to get the attention of the showbiz community this time.

“Mga kapatid ko sa industriya ngaun ko napatunayan na wala kayong pag ibig sa akin,” he stated.

Fortunately, John said that the operation still went through despite the lack of financial help.

It can be remembered that several showbiz personalities helped John in the past but it also quickly ended because of the accusations that the veteran actor was just using the money he was getting on vices.
