The two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo mentioned actor and television host Luis Manzano after he was asked if he would agree to dramatize his life into a biopic movie.
During a press conference, Carlos said he wanted Luis to portray him in the movie.
“Siguro si Kuya Luis Manzano na lang,” said Carlos.
However, he quickly clarified that he was only joking.
While Carlos wanted to select an actor for the possible biopic, he admitted that he was unaware of the lists of actors available now as he was not watching television due to his intense training.
“Hindi ko rin po alam e kasi ‘di naman ako madalas manood ng telebisyon dahil nakatuon ang atensyon ko sa panay training,” he said.
It can be recalled that Carlos and Luis have already met.
There was a possibility that Carlos, together with his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, would appear in the online talk show created by Luis.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo advised his younger brother, Karl Eldrew, who was expected to aim to qualify for the upcoming 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
In an interview, Carlos admitted that Eldrew would face several challenges throughout his preparation.
The top gymnast also revealed that he and Eldrew would take a different path while preparing for the Olympics.
“Ang payo ko kay Eldrew, magsanay siyang mabuti. Tingin ko magkaiba ang landas na tatahakin namin pero kahit na gano’n iisa lang ‘yung goal namin, pero iba ‘yung pagdadaanan namin so sana stay strong lang siya,” said Carlos.
“Marami siyang malalaman sa training, lalo na’t mahirap ‘yung paghahanda at talagang marami siyang ilalaan na oras sa training katulad ng pinagdaanan ko,” he added.
Due to his impressive record in local and international competitions, Eldrew was one of the best contenders for the next Olympic gold medalist in the Philippines.
Eldrew was also set to join his brother on the national team.
However, Carlo and Eldrew were not on good terms due to their family problems.
The younger Yulo already urged Carlos to reconcile with them, which was only ignored by the gold medalist.
Actress Marissa Sanchez admitted that she also experienced the same situation faced by two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
In an interview with Rommel Chika, she narrated how she also had disagreements with her mother about her financials.
She eventually realized that she was not disciplined when she had a chance to manage her own money, which was why her mother kept her earnings.
However, it was too late for her to realize her mistakes.
“Ako si Carlos before… ‘Ba’t ganyan ka, Mommy?’ So, parang nagsisisi ako, tapos parang gusto kong sabihin, ‘Carlos, you will regret it’ Kasi ako I was really bad to my mom… I’m not proud of it,” said Marissa.
“When my mom was alive, I was blaming her all my life ba’t ako ganito. Mali pala… Choices ko ‘yun hindi ko pwede i-blame sa mom ko. Kung pwede ko lang balikan, sana minahal ko ‘yung mom ko, [sana] I honored her still,” she added.
Her experience was the reason why she didn’t like children who didn’t respect their parents.
“So kung pwede lang yakapin ko sila [at sabihin] ‘Nagkakamali kayo, mahalin niyo ang magulang niyo kasi isang beses lang sila mabubuhay. ‘Pag nawala sila magsisisi ka kasi hindi mo sila inintindi,” she stated.
Marissa also suggested to the viewers that they could still honor their parents despite their differences.
“Pero wala tayong magagawa e, hindi natin pinili ang mga nanay natin so dapat tanggapin lang natin sila, mahalin, honor. Pwede mo sila awayin nang hindi ka nagkakasala. Pwede mo sila kontrahin na you still honor them,” she said.
“Sana gano’n ang ginawa ko… That’s why I miss my mom. Kaya pala siya gano’n, because lumaki pala siyang walang nanay, hindi niya naranasan kung paano maging anak.” she also said.
It can be recalled that until today, Carlos has yet to see his family after he accused them of pocketing his cash incentives.
However, Carlos’ parents insisted that they only used the money to buy insurance and other properties to ensure the future of the gymnast.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo said that he was willing to appear on ABS-CBN’s top-rated program, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
In an interview, Carlos said that he would accept any invitation from the show’s director and leading actor, Coco Martin.
Carlos would also allow Coco to decide on what role he would play.
“Kung iimbitahan po ako ni Sir Coco Martin sa ‘Batang Quiapo’ kahit isang shooting day lang, papayag ako. Game na game po ako. Bahala na po si Direk Coco kung ano ‘yung magiging role ko,” he stated.
There were rumors that some scenes may have occurred at Carlos’ turf in Leveriza, where his parents currently reside.
Aside from Carlos, his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, was also rumored to appear on Batang Quiapo.
Yesterday, Chloe marked her first television appearance since 2020 after he performed on ASAP.
It can be recalled that Carlos and Coco met during the gymnast’s visit to ABS-CBN headquarters.
Actor Mark Anthony Fernandez answered the rumors about his willingness to become a leading man of Chloe San Jose on a Vivamax project.
In an interview with Pep, Mark denied a post spreading on social media about his alleged intention to have a project with Chloe.
The said post showed a social media user named ‘Mark Anthony Fernandez’ who wrote that he would agree to become a partner of Chloe if the latter’s boyfriend, two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, would agree.
However, the post was only one of the false social media posts being spread on social media.
It can be recalled that several pages earned from affiliate links from several online shopping platforms were published as fake posts to earn clicks and commissions.
The actor’s name was dragged after a social media page published a statement from an unknown director who reportedly was eyeing Chloe to become part of their next movie project.
As of writing, Chloe has yet to give any response if she was willing to do daring roles.
Actress Carmi Martin disclosed why she decided to pursue a career in television instead of focusing on movie projects.
In an interview with Snooky Serna, Carmi said that during the ’80s, she experienced several indecent proposals from producers.
It even reached the point that they wanted her to become more ‘daring’ with her roles and do frontal nudity.
“Meron akong mga invitation na ganyan during that time, kasi nga ang seksi ko, e. And may mga producers din na talagang gustong nag-ano, nag-try na mag-take advantage sa akin, to the point na tinulak ko,” she said.
Carmi then pushed to pursue a career in television because it was better regulated than movies.
Snooky then called it a ‘Producer’s Touch,’ a term for celebrities who became popular by following their producers’ desires.
Fortunately, Carmi’s television career became successful, and she became part of several shows on major television networks.
Since 1976, Carmi never lost a project on television. Not even the pandemic stopped her from working.
Internet celebrity Chloe San Jose heated the stage with her sizzling performance at the ABS-CBN’s variety show ASAP.
Chloe, the girlfriend of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, performed ‘Havana’ by Camila Cabello while wearing her signature pink dress.
Her performance received mixed reactions from the netizens; some praised her talent, while critics still claimed that she used Carlos to become popular.
However, this was not the first time Chloe has become a guest on ASAP.
In 2020, Chloe also performed an acoustic single on the same show.
Before becoming popular on social media, Chloe was already known on the internet as a singer and songwriter.
Fans were waiting if Chloe would also become part of other shows after she became so popular due to her relationship with Carlos.
There were already rumors that she and her boyfriend would be part of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo as a guest.
A content creator toured the netizens to the house of the two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo’s family in Leveriza Street in Manila.
John Robert Costura toured his followers to Leveriza Street, where Carlos was molded to become a world-class gymnast.
After walking for several minutes, Costura was approached by Carlos’ grandfather, who guided him to Yulo’s residence.
Costura was greeted by several clothes hung at the house’s front door, where Carlos’ mother, Angelica Yulo, greeted him.
It was noticeable that the house was already full of different things, from clothes to groceries and appliances.
Portraits of Carlos and family photos could also be found in their crowded living room.
When Costura climbed to the second floor, he witnessed the same thing: clothes and luggage were everywhere.
After the video went viral, several netizens urged Carlos to help his family find a new house, as their Leveriza home was already congested.
They believed that Carlos was capable of giving his family a new home, as he received several properties and millions of pesos in cash after winning two gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Dapat magulang ang unahin nya bago ang ibang tao,maswerte sya buhay pa mga magulang nya,bka magsisi sya pagdating ng araw dahil ndi tinulungan mga magulang nya,walang sisi sa una laging nasa huli,” netizen Camilo said.
“May bahay si Carlos sa Batangas regalo sa kanya worth 6M ibibigay niya yan sa pamilya niya, masyado kaya kasi atat pinangungunahan ninyo yun tao, hayaan lng magkasundo na sila, kayo netizen may kasalanan kanya kanya kayo ng opinion hindi kayo nakatulong sa pamilya!” netizen Lina remarked.
The reconcilation between actor Kit Thompson and Ana Jalandoni was currently being discussed on social media two years after their well-publicized breakup.
It can be recalled that in 2022, Ana disclosed that her ex-boyfriend mistreated her while they were at a hotel in Tagaytay.
She even publicly revealed the aftermath of the incident, showing the bruises on her face.
Ana then filed serious charges against Kit, which rumored to already been withdrew after the reconcilation between the two.
According to the report published by Bulgar, Ana and Kit reignited their relationship.
However, according to the report published by the Philippine Entertainment Portal, Kit denied the rumors.
But Kit admitted that he was already on good terms with his ex-girlfriend.
“We’re actually good. Yeah! It’s all good,” he said.
“Tama naman ang sinasabi nila. People will always talk, and nasa yo na lang yun kung papano mo ma-handle yung sarili mo, ang emotions mo,” he added.
The waiter who went viral last month after he was allegedly forced to stand for two hours after calling one of his customers ‘sir’ had formally filed charges.
It can be recalled that LGBTQIA+ writer Jude Bacalso was eating at a restaurant where the waiter was employed when she allegedly asked the latter to listen to her lecture about gender sensitivity for two hours while standing.
The cause of the incident was only because the waiter mistakenly addressed Bacalso as ‘sir’ instead of ‘ma’am.’
According to the statement published by Cabrido and Law Firm, the waiter, R-Jay Marcilla, was still affected by the incident.
Marcilla’s counsel disclosed that their client was having difficulties trying to go outside and work again because of the incident.
“As of now, the victim is still traumatized but is trying to co-exist with society. We’re also helping him but the effect (of the incident) to his mental health was significant,” Atty. Ron Ivan Gingoyon of Cabrido and Law Firm said.
They revealed that they filed five charges against Bacalso: Unjust Vexation, Grave Scandal, Grave Coercion, Grave Threats, and Slight Illegal Detention.
As of writing, Bacalso has yet to respond to the charges filed by Marcilla.
