Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo addressed his father via social media after the latter made an effort to welcome his son during the Heroes’ parade held in Manila on August 14, 2024.

In his Facebook post, Carlos thanked his father for his effort and even confirmed that he would meet him soon.

“Maraming salamat Pa, masaya ako nakita kita don nakasuporta! Pasensya na pa hindi ako masyado nakakaway, ang daming nagpa authograph hehe,” he said.

“Kitakits soon pa,” he added.

It can be recalled that Mark Andrew and other members of the Yulo family didn’t appear on Carlos’ arrival to the Philippines yesterday. Because of this, some members of Carlos’ family, including his grandfather couldn’t stop himself but to be disappointed.

The cause of their absence may be attributed to the family feud between Carlos and his mother, Angelica Yulo.

To end their misunderstanding, Mr. Yulo urged Carlos to talk to them.

“Anak congrats sa’yo, congrats sa inyo ni Chloe, sana mag-usap tayo, mag-usap kayo ni mama mo kung ano man ‘yung [isyu] pag-usapan natin. Kasi hindi totoo ‘yung mga kumakalat sa balita,” said Andrew.

“Sana po mag-usap usap kaming family [at] si Chloe para matapos na ‘tong konting [alitan],” he added.

Dionesia Pacquiao, the mother of eight-division world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao, advised two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.

Carlos was currently facing several issues after his family problems were publicized on social media.

It can be recalled that Carlos claimed that his parents ‘zeroed’ his bank accounts without his permission.

The athlete then decided to distance himself from his family and stay with his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

Dionesia was one of the people following the issue and couldn’t help but give motherly advice to the athlete.

In a video, she urged Carlos to love his mother, Angelica Yulo.

“Dong Carlos Yulo… mahalin mo ang nanay mo wag kang magtanim [o] magkimkim ng sama ng loob,” said Dionesia. “Mahal na mahal ka ng mama mo. Mahalin mo siya ng lubusan,” 

“Bilang nanay eh mahal na mahal ka niya. Yan ang payo ko sayo,” she added.

In a past interview, Manny Pacquiao revealed that the start of his relationship with his wife, Jinkee, was not easy as Dionesia also didn’t like the latter.

Manny’s story could be compared to Carlos as Mrs. Yulo also disliked Chloe.

However, the People’s Champ said that he didn’t give up on building a bridge between his mother and wife, which proven to be successful.

Carlos Yulo’s grandfather, Rodrigo Frisco, was not attempting to see his grandchild again after they were barred from welcoming the two-time Olympic gold medalist yesterday.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Rodrigo said that he would stay at home instead of going to Rizal Memorial Stadium, where Carlos was expected to arrive together with other Olympic athletes.

Rodrigo, who introduced gymnastics to Carlos, shared his realization that they might seen as desperate for the latter’s attention if they insist on seeing his grandchild.

“Oo, nakaplano din sana kami pumunta. Pero napagisip isip namin magmumukha kaming kawawa dun dahil hindi na kami pinasalubong ng pagdating niya. What more, kung diyan para lang kaming fans niya. Kaya naisip namin kahit diyan sa float niya, sa parada niya ‘di narin kami pupunta,” he said.

He also said that Carlos’ siblings prefered to spend their time on training instead of attending the event.

It can be recalled that Rodrigo expressed his excitement in the past when he saw his grandchild on his arrival to the Philippines.

However, he was informed that they were not allowed to see Carlos.

“Dapat nga sana masaya kaso nadismaya ako. Hindi kami pinayagang pumunta doon. Ang susundo lang daw, si President saka mga piling-piling media. Kaya imbes na masaya sana kaming lahat, nadismaya kami dahil naka-ready na kami sa pagsalubong, e. Naka-ready na kami,” he said.

“Nag-text daw sa papa niya na huwag na daw kaming sumama sa pagsalubong. Hindi ko rin alam kung sino, e. Pero si Caloy ata, e.” he added.

Meanwhile, Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, accompanied the athlete to the events.

The nation welcomed two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and other Filipino athletes during the Heroes’ Parade in Manila.

However, one of the parade’s highlights was Carlos’ father, Mark Andrew Yulo’s appearance along Roxas Boulevard.

In a video published by RTVM, Mark Andrew can be seen trying to welcome his son and even preparing a banner to inform Carlos about his father’s presence.

Carlos could be seen waving at his father.

The Yulos were expected to be at Rizal Memorial Sports Complex, the final stop of the parade.

Carlos’ parents were reportedly disallowed from attending yesterday’s Filipino gymnast’s arrival at Villamor Airbase.

They were also absent during the event in Malacanang, where Carlos received the cash incentives and Presidential Medal of Merit.

However, Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, was present at the event.

It can be recalled that Carlos’ gold medal finish was overshadowed by his alleged rift with his parents.

Despite their issues, Mr. Yulo remained calm and repeatedly expressed how proud he was of his son’s achievement.

hiTwo-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s grandfather, Rodrigo Frisco, revealed why they didn’t attend the athlete’s arrival on August 13 at Villamor Airbase.

In an interview with ABS-CBN, Rodrigo said he was initially excited, thinking he would finally see his grandchild after several months of not talking or seeing each other.

However, they received a text message from Carlos’ father, Mark Andrew, and told them not to go to the airport.

“Dapat nga sana masaya kaso nadismaya ako. Hindi kami pinayagang pumunta doon. Ang susundo lang daw, si President saka mga piling-piling media. Kaya imbes na masaya sana kaming lahat, nadismaya kami dahil naka-ready na kami sa pagsalubong, e. Naka-ready na kami,” he said.

“Nag-text daw sa papa niya na huwag na daw kaming sumama sa pagsalubong. Hindi ko rin alam kung sino, e. Pero si Caloy ata, e.” he added.

According to the reports, the athletes were allowed to be welcomed by their families during their arrival, which raised questions about why Carlos’ family was disallowed to attend the event.

In the past interview, Rodrigo repeatedly expressed excitement about seeing his grandchild.

“Excited talaga dahil matagal na namin siyang hindi nakita. Yung mga kaibigan namin, gumawa na ng mga banner, kung anu-ano pa yata yung mga ginawa nila saka nag-prepara din sila ng pagkain para sa amin,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Rodrigo introduced gymnastics to Carlos.

Influencer Chloe San Jose addressed the rumors spread by social media personality Xian Gaza against her.

It can be recalled that Xian claimed that Chloe stopped Carlos from staying near his occupational therapist, Hazel Calawod.

“Hindi daw pinapayagan ni Chloe na i-post ni Carlos Yulo yung coaching team niya kasi daw ayaw nitong masapawan. Kaya pala silang dalawa lang palagi ang ina-upload ni Caloy. Nagseselos pala si Chloe,” said Xian.

Chloe denied the said information, saying Lyn was her good friend.

“Wag kayong issue, kung ano ano na lang talaga no. me and coach Lyn Hazel (loafie) are good good friends,” she said.

“Eh ikaw naman mars Christian Albert Gaza kamusta kayo ng gf mo? ay ex na pala, pinapasa mo yung gawain mo kay bossloy na madaming eabab?? oopsss,” she added.

To prove that she was talking to Hazel, Chloe uploaded some of her photos together with the occupational therapist.

It can be recalled that many netizens were pushing Carlos to court Hazel.

Some even praised Hazel due to her background as a graduate of the University of the Philippines and Harvard University.

Carlos Yulo’s parents were absent during the Heroe’s Welcome, which Malacanang prepared for the two-time Olympic gold medalist.

In a video published by RTVM, Carlos could be seen receiving the P20,000,000 cash incentives from the government and also a presidential medal of merit from President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.

While Carlos’ parents were absent, his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, was there to accompany her boyfriend.

However, some netizens questioned Chloe’s presence during the awarding ceremony, saying Carlos’ parents should have accompanied their son.

It can be recalled that Carlos had a feud with his parents because of money.

In a statement, Carlos clarified that he had already forgiven his parents, but he hinted that he was not yet ready to meet them.

“Nakita ko po sa balita na kino-congratulate niyo ko, kung genuine po talaya kayo ma, maraming maraming salamat po ina-acknowledge ko po ‘yon pagko-congratulate niyo sakin,” he said.

“Pero nagpa-flash back parin po ‘yung mga masasakit niyong sinabi sakin at mga hindi niyo pag wishwell sakin,”

Carlos already refused to talk more about his family issue, saying that he prefered to discuss topics that would celebrate the victory of Filipino athletes last Olympics.

Chloe San Jose gained a reaction from the netizens after she quickly refused the attempt of GMA reporter Mariz Umalis’ invitation for a quick interview.

During the athletes’ arrival, Mariz could be seen covering the arrival of the Filipino athletes who participated in the 2024 Paris Olympics when she saw Chloe walking behind her.

Chloe was having a photo op with some fans when Mariz approached her for a quick interview.

However, when the boyfriend of the two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo saw Mariz, she quickly refused an interview.

“Ay sorry, wag na ako mag interview,” said Chloe.

“Wag na daw, and we respect that,” Mariz responded.

Mariz went back to her usual reporting and panned the camera away from Chloe.

It can be recalled that Chloe already said that she refused any interview with media people as she didn’t want to steal Carlos’ spotlight.

“You haven’t seen any media interview me because I DECLINE TO BE INTERVIEWED AND NOT TAKE AWAY HIS SPOTLIGHT,” she told a netizen.
