The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) discovered a popular entrepreneur who’s known for flexing their income on social media was not paying taxes at all.

BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr. disclosed that the agency raided three warehouses owned by the entrepreneur after finding that their beauty product business was not registered.

Lumagui said they’re already preparing to file charges against the entrepreneur, who’s currently in hiding.

The commissioner also hinted that the entrepreneur was known for boasting that they were earning billions.

“Sana ‘yung mga nagnenegosyo ng ganyan, ‘yung mga nagpe-flex sa social media na bilyon bilyon ang kinikita e ang dami na nating ganyan, sinasabi palang bata palang eto na ang kinikita, bilyonaryo na pero hindi nagbabayad ng buwis,” said Lumagui.

For now, Lumagui has refused to name the entrepreneur.

Some netizens tried to guess the said individual’s identity, saying that there were only a few people known for flexing their income.

Carlos Yulo’s younger brother, Eldrew, urged his ‘kuya’ to make the first move by reconciling with their mother, Angelica Yulo.

In an interview with Bombo Radyo, Eldrew gave his thoughts on the issue surrounding their family, saying that his two-time Olympic gold medalist brother was welcome anytime to visit them.

Eldrew clarified that they’re not forcing Carlos to talk with them.

“Hindi ka naman namin pinipilit bumalik pero if ever na maisipan mo ay always free kami,” said Eldrew. “Hindi kami lumalapit sayo dahil nanalo ka, gusto lang naman namin kayong maka-bond ng hindi namin sinasabi or hindi namin kailangan sabihin,”

Eldrew also expressed disappointment that his family always asked for Carlos’ attention, which became their mother’s main concern.

“Babae kasi si mama kuya eh… Alam mo naman kapag babae matataas talaga ang pride. Kailangan talaga nating mag-adjust,” said Eldrew. “Ang gawain talaga ng lalake ay mag-adjust nalang and babaan nalang ‘yung pride natin para tapos na ang gulo,”

“Ang ayaw lang kasi ni mama is ‘yung kami lagi ‘yung lalapit para sa atensyon niya which is mali talaga, dapat may kusa ka rin. I mean I’m not mad about it, nagtatampo lang na kailangan pa namin i-seek ‘yung attention mo,” he added.

It can be recalled that Carlos’s mother reportedly blocked the Filipino gymnast on social media after a feud over money.

Mrs. Yulo also aired her grievance towards Carlos’ partner, Chloe San Jose, who allegedly manipulated the athlete.

Carlos Yulo’s father, Mark Andrew, appealed to his son to meet them and discuss their differences.

In an interview, Mr. Yulo asked Carlos to meet his family so they could discuss and fix the problems surrounding their family.

He also asked Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, to attend the meeting.

“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.

Mr. Yulo clarified that they were not after Carlos’ money and wanted to make their family whole again.

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

“Kahit sa kanila na ‘yung cash basta magkabalikan lang ‘yung love ng family,” he added.

It can be recalled that the problem between Carlos and his parents was uncovered after Mrs. Angelica Yulo published several posts against her son.

Mrs. Yulo disclosed that the problem started when Chloe entered Carlos’ life, saying that she was allegedly trying to control the athlete and manipulating him to stay away from his family.

As of writing, Carlos has yet to give a response to his father.

Former GMA artist Gerald Santos finally revealed his story after more than a decade of silence on why he decided to leave the network.

In his video, Gerald said that he only spoke about the issue after hearing the case of Sandro Muhlach, who filed a complaint against two head writers of GMA Network.

Gerald was thankful that social media now existed to help people who were treated badly by powerful people have a voice and air their complaints.

He also criticized the people who told him to move on, saying they were why new artists were afraid to share their experiences.

According to him, his career almost ended after he bravely made a rare move to complain about the acts done to him by a musical director. However, with the help of his manager, he found a new way to share his craft: becoming a theater actor.

The singer then encouraged new artists not to sacrifice their dignity in exchange to having a good career, saying that they must trust their charisma and talent to find new opportunities.

“Despite na ako ay walang network nakaya ko po na makapag-stay sa industriya, ‘yun po ‘yung naging prinsipyo ko at that time kaya hindi ako pumayag sa gusto nitong tao na ‘to na gumawa ng hindi maganda sakin,” said Gerald.

“Dahil ako po ay naniniwala sa aking po kakayanan, sa aking talento even at that early age,” he added.

GERALD GIVES CLUE ABOUT THE IDENTITY OF THE SAID MUSICAL DIRECTOR

Gerald narrated that when he got a huge break and became a theater actor, the said musical director sent a message to congratulate him on his new achievement.

“Nakarating sakin sa isang close friend na singer na kino-congratulate kami, kasi etong friend ko ay nakapasok din. Ang sabi nitong taong ito ‘congratulations parin daw sakin kahit napakasakit ng ginawa ko sa kanya,’ ang masasabi ko lang sayo, ang kapal ng mukha mo para sabihin ‘yan,” said Gerald.

“Alam mo sana kapag nagkaharap uli tayo, look me straight in my eyes at i-deny mo ‘yung mga pinaggagawa mo sakin, i-deny mo na hindi ito nangyari. I wish you good, Diyos nalang ang bahala sa’yo, sana mapatawad ka ng Diyos sa mga ginawa mo sakin at kung may iba pang biktima, sana mapatawad ka, pinapagpasa-Diyos na kita,” he added.

The singer claimed that the musical director who attempted to take advantage of him had a friend with a high position on the GMA Network.

“Eto pong taong ito na mataas ang katungkulan dito sa network na kaibigan nitong taong gumawa hindi maganda sakin ay sobrang galit na galit parin up to now kaya ako po ay basically parang banned po dito sa network,” he said.

“Hindi po talaga magkaroon ng guestings, kahit anong show, hindi po ako makapasok sa network because of this person,” he added.

Gerald urged his colleagues in the industry to stop tolerating powerful people from taking advantage of them and quickly informed the public about it.

“Hindi na po ito ‘yung panahon na wala tayong boses, now we have social media, we have the power of the people, we have the power of public opinion,” he stated.

A lawyer made an unpopular opinion amid the spat between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his mother, Angelica Yulo.

In his statement, Atty. Wilfredo Garrido gave his opinion on the issue, saying that he understood the point of Angelica’s dislike of Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.

According to Garrido, Chloe almost ended Carlos’ career as a gymnast after she allegedly caused the separation between the Filipino athlete and his former coach, Munehiro Kugiyame.

“It was another woman who drove the rift, girlfriend Chloe San Jose, an Australian Tiktoker, who was always hanging around, annoying the coach, who wanted no distractions in the training. When Kugiyama demanded that Caloy dump his girlfriend, Caloy surprisingly chose his girlfriend over his long-time coach and walked out on him,” he wrote.

“Naturally, this shocked his mother who was full of gratitude for Kugiyama who picked Caloy from the gymnastics backwaters of Manila and honed him to be a world champion in Japan. On hindsight that was an impulsive and reckless move for Caloy, who became a nomad, bouncing from one place to another without a coach, basically training himself while relying for emotional support on his girlfriend who knew nothing about gymnastics. As in nada. Wala,” he added.

After the incident, the lawyer said that Carlos placed 52nd in the 2023 World Championships, a possible consequence of the gymnast’s decision to end his partnership with his former coach.

He believed that Angelica was only disappointed with her son’s actions, which explained her posts against Carlos.

The lawyer also said that Mrs. Yulo’s only fault was openly criticizing her son on social media.

Garrido also urged the netizens to reserve their criticism for Chloe and not for Angelica.

“Forgive the mother. Reserve all your brickbats for the girlfriend for almost ruining his career. She might just succeed in the future,” he stated.

Garrido also openly criticized Chloe in his comments and even called her a potential gold digger.

As of writing, Chloe’s camp has yet to give their response to Garrido’s comments.

Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo won his second gold medal on August 5, 2024, after winning the vault.

His victory automatically made him eligible for an additional P10,000,000 from the government and possibly more pledges from other companies.

Most netizens were discussing the possibility of Carlo getting another condominium unit worth P24,000,000 from property developer giant Megaworld.

However, netizens should stop expecting more from the property developer because it was clear that they would only give one condominium unit per Filipino athlete who could get a gold medal.

Their statement never indicated that they would give one condominium unit per gold medal.

“Recognizing their extraordinary pursuit of excellence, property giant Megaworld is set to reward EACH FILIPINO GOLD MEDALIST at a 2024 Paris Olympic Games with a fully-furnished two-bedroom residential condominium unit valued at P24-million,”

A few netizens even forced the property developer to give Yulo the second condominium unit, saying he deserved it.

However, some netizens also defended the property developer, saying the company was not even supposed to give a posh condominium unit, but they did it voluntarily to encourage Filipino Olympians to push for gold.

MEGAWORLD UPGRADES CARLOS’ REWARD.

Megaworld decided to upgrade the property they’re giving to Carlos by making it a three-bedroom.

According to the property developer, the said property cost and a cash bonus that Carlos received would now total P35,000,000.

The condominium unit was expected to be awarded to Yulo after the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s girlfriend made a heartfelt message to her possible future son-in-law after winning an extremely rare two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

In her post, Melany Pili, the mother of Carlos’ partner, Chloe San Jose, expressed her joy and support for the Filipino athlete who brought honor to the country.

She also recognized the sacrifices made by Caloy to train in preparation for his Olympic dream.

“Your Olympic journey is indeed a testament to your remarkable dedication and spirit. We have witnessed the tremendous effort and commitment you invest in this field. Spending holidays, even Holy Week and Good Friday, training instead of resting and spending time with your loved ones is just one proof of the passion and perseverance you bring to this craft, and for that, we are truly proud!” she said.

“This weekend, the quest for gold continues. Keep fighting, Kuya! You’ve worked hard and prepared well. Keep that positive mindset and give it your best shot! No matter what, you’ve already achieved so much! God be with you and Ate Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose May Padre Pio strengthen and protect you!” she added.

A video also shows the family of Carlos’ partner while celebrating the second gold of Carlos.

Some netizens couldn’t compare Chloe’s mother, which contradicted the reaction made by Carlos’s own mother, Angelica Yulo, who chose to support the opponent of her own son during the Olympics.

It can be recalled that Angelica even talked about her problems with Carlos amid the 2024 Olympics, which, to some netizens, was a bad gesture as her son was still competing for his second gold.

Angelica even accused Chloe of being the one who caused all the problems in her family.

Former Kapuso singer Gerald Santos would finally reveal his side after a decade of silence on the bad treatment he allegedly experienced from a musical director who worked at GMA Network.

In his Facebook post, Gerald shared some of the snippets of the video that he would upload tomorrow.

Gerald could be shown addressing the said individual in his video.

“Ang masasabi ko lang sayo, ang kapal ng mukha mo. Pinapasa-diyos na kita,” said Gerald.

Gerald said he would finally speak about his experience after Sparkle actor Sandro Muhlach filed a complaint against two head writers of GMA Network.

“Kaya po ako nagsasalita dahil ako po ay may sariling karanasan katulad nito na nangyari kay Mr. Sandro Muhlach. Gusto ko pong sabihin sa inyo ‘yung aking naging karanasan to raise awareness sa lahat ng baguhang artist,” he stated.

It can be recalled that Gerald shared in a past interview that someone influential from the Kapuso network attempted to take advantage of him several times.

“Early flight po kasi, first flight kami… so nag-ask siya na, dahil maaga nga po para hindi ma-late, pinatulog niya ako sa bahay niya. Tapos ‘yun na po… nasa kwarto niya po [ako], nagulat po ako kasi isa lang ang kwarto,” he stated.

“Mga chancing-chancing… ‘yun na po ‘yun. Hindi po ako pumayag, kaya hindi po natuloy.” he added.

He informed the executives of GMA Network about the incident, but Gerald believed that it only cost his career.

Even his talent manager, Rommel Ramilo also claimed that Gerald was not allowed to appear on any entertainment shows of GMA until today.

Olympic Gold Medalist Carlos Yulo’s girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, made a response to her boyfriend’s mother, who made a series of posts and statements against her son.

It can be recalled that Angelica Yulo’s posts on social media went viral after her son won his first Olympic gold medal in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Mrs. Yulo drew flak on social media after she publicly cheered for Carlos’s Japanese opponent during the event’s all-vault finals.

Carlos’ mother also granted an interview, openly criticizing her son’s decision and even blaming Chloe for causing all the problems in their family.

She even hinted that Chloe would only cause a financial burden to her son.

As a response, Chloe said she would wait for Carlos to finish his attempt to get a second gold medal in the men’s vault finals tonight.

“Mother dear, I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this… pero wait ka lang, tapusin lang po namin yung vault finals-paki-off na your comment section po ah,” she wrote.

“Japan pa din talaga.. lakas! but malakas din naman si Carlos Edriel Yulo, GOD IS WITH HIM,” she added, while trying to imitate Mrs. Yulo’s post.

Mrs. Yulo’s post was now deleted after being seen by millions of Filipinos.

Angelica Yulo, the mother of Olympic Gold Medalist Carlos Yulo, finally speaks about her problems with her son.

It can be recalled that Angelica went viral on social media after she openly supported the opponent of her son during the All-Around finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

A family friend of Yulo family revealed that the problem started due to the differences of Carlos and Angelica regarding their financial decisions.

In an interview with Star FM Manila, Angelica revealed the reason for their misunderstanding and confirmed that it was really about financials.

According to Angelica, the only money she possessed was the P70,000 worth of incentives received by Carlos from the World Championships 2021.

She also hinted they didn’t trust Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, which was the reason why she was the one who received the money.

“Sakin binigay ni ma’am Weng kasi red flag din sa kanila ‘yung girl. So ayun sa akin ibinigay, so ang ginawa ko nararamdaman ko na bilang ina na parang ang sabi ko is baka maubos ng anak ko in the future,” said Angelica.

“So ang ginawa ko idineposit ko siya under my name sa BPI Account, tapos pina-hold ko siya at ginawa ko siyang bond for credit card,” she added.

She attempted to return the credit card after a discussion with Carlos, but she claimed that the bank already told them that they needed to wait for two years before the money could be withdrawn.

“Ang naging mitsa lang talaga is ‘yung babae, ‘yung girl, lalong lumaki kasi nagkaroon ng training camp si Caloy kasama ko ‘yung asawa ko, naghatid kami sa Terminal 3, ang sabi sakin ni Reynald, yung coach niya ‘Tita alam mo na ba ‘yung nangyari?’ sabi ko ‘No I have no idea at all’ kasi hindi naman kami nagkakausap ni Caloy eh, so wala kaming idea talaga,” she said.

Angelica said that Chloe was living at Carlos’ apartment, which was supposed to be exclusively used by athletes as the government was funding it for sports development.

Carlos’ mother started to dislike Chloe when she felt that the latter was already trying to get the athlete’s attention for herself.

As of writing, Carlos has yet to give her response to his mother.
