A contestant of Eat Bulaga’s segment ‘Peraphy’ went viral on social media after he acted unusually during the game.
Angelito Calida, who’s an avid fan of Eat Bulaga, was given a chance to play on Peraphy, but something odd happened during his participation after he suddenly left the hosts, Vic Sotto, Miles Ocampo, and Ryzza Mae Dizon, and went to the other side of the stage.
The hosts were visibly baffled after Calida suddenly left them. They even tried to look at the production team several times, as they noticed something was wrong with the contestant.
When Calida walked towards the other side of the stage, he could be seen walking close to Singing Queen Anne and suddenly hugged the latter.
The hosts quickly tried to handle the situation by calling the marshalls and the medics, while Tito Sotto could be heard saying, ‘May tama ito,” while also trying to call other staff of the noontime show.
Calida was guided back to their original position, where Vic asked the contestant about his condition.
Miles then tried to handle the situation by saying that the contestant was only nervous.
The netizens praised the incident as they saw the professionalism of the Eat Bulaga hosts, who tried to handle the situation without embarrassing the contestant.
While Mrs. Angelica Yulo was holding a press conference, her son, Carlos Yulo, and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, enjoyed the culinary experience in France.
In a Facebook post, Chloe San Jose shared some photos taken during their date at one of Paris’ most popular restaurants, Le Brebant Paris, to celebrate the two-gold medal finish of the Filipino gymnast.
Chloe ordered a 1/2 Homar Blue Grille grillé a la plancha, which cost 38 euros (2,400 PHP).
Caloy ordered a juicy Steak haché, which reportedly cost 22 euros (1,380).
They also ordered some steak, and salad to complete their dish.
“Food trip! Us and Parisian food against the world,” Chloe wrote.
However, some netizens still couldn’t stop themselves from being skeptical of Chloe, saying that while Carlos’ family was living simply, she decided to eat a luxurious dish.
“Mother knows best talaga kung ganito naman kagarapal talaga ang mamanungangin niya.Looks transgender talaga sya eh. Paano niyo nalulunok pagkain gayong dapat family ni carlos ang kasama niya dyan at di ikaw gatungerang palaka,” netizen Maria said.
“Kapag ako nagkaanak ng lalake tapos ganito GF, sorry pero never ko matatanggap ang isang babaeng di marunong magpakumbaba. Parang nang-aasar pa sa mga post. Yung pinagdadaanan ng family ngayon tapos nakuha pang magpost ng fancy foods. Parang she wants to tell the world that she’s the Queen,” netizen Kate commented.
Mrs. Angelica Yulo acquired the service of high-profile lawyer Atty. Raymond Fortun amid her issue with two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
During the press conference held on August 7, 2024, Mrs. Yulo stood beside Fortun, who’s known for handling high-profile cases of Senators Juan Ponce Enrile and Bong Revilla, Governor Henry Pryde Teves, Presidential Adviser Michael Yang, Kris Aquino, Vicky Belo, Willy Revillame, Claudine Barretto, Gabby Concepcion, Zsa Zsa Padilla, and Vice Ganda.
It can be recalled that Fortun already warned the netizens to stop talking about his client, saying that the matter should be held privately between the mother and son.
“The public is hereby informed that ALL statements made attributed to Mrs. Yulo and/or any of her children that are critical of, disparaging or tend to tarnish the accomplishments of her son, CARLOS EDRIEL YULO are untrue, fake, and mere products of imagination and fantasy by heretofore unknown individuals,” he said.
Fortun also sympathized with Mrs. Yulo, saying that he understood the feelings of his client.
“If my wife speaks badly about my son’s girlfriend, it is NOT maligning my son but an ACT OF LOVE. Mothers are always protective of their children, don’t you agree? Isn’t it the stereotype that the mother-in-law does not like the daughter-in-law? So why is this such a big issue for so many?” he argued.
“If I am doing ‘damage control’, it is in the best interests of the Filipino people. We should not be distracted by a private family matter; instead, we should all rejoice in the honor brought to the country by Caloy. Agree?” he added.
Mrs. Angelica Yulo faced the public to apologize for her statements in past interviews and social media posts she made.
During the press conference, Mrs. Yulo could be seen reading a prepared statement to say sorry to Carlos, saying that she was not a perfect mother and also her son.
“Hindi ako perpektong ina at alam ng Diyos na hindi ka din perpektong anak at walang perpektong pamilya. Walang ibang hangad ang isang ina kundi ang ikabubuti ng kanyang anak at sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya. Sa paraan mang marahas, maingay, sana’y maunawaan mo na ang intensyon ko ay malinis,” said Mrs. Yulo.
“Ako ay isang ina na nasaktan dahil ang mabait na anak na pinalaki ko ng maayos at mabuting tao ay hindi na nakikinig sa mga paggabay ng magulang. Kung mali na naging mapagpuna ako sa nobya mo, humihingi ako ng patawad, dahil nanay lang ako na nag-aalalala.
Matanda ka na, kaya mo nang magdesisyon para sa sarili mo. Bukas ang aming pintuan sa tahanan, may pera o wala, kung nanaisin mong bumalik samin,” she added.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist revealed that her mother ‘zeroed’ his bank accounts without his knowledge.
He also said that he had already forgiven his mother, but the words his mother told him were still fresh.

Australian TikToker and Carlos Yulo’s girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, responded to Director Darryl Yap after the latter made a series of posts against her.
It can be recalled that Yap defended Yulo’s mother from the negative comments thrown by netizens against her.
“Nagdiriwang tayong lahat ngayon sa mga ginto ni Carlos Yulo—nakita natin ang lahat ng kanyang paghihirap, pagsisikap at pagpupunyagi. Pero hindi natin nakita ang pagtakbo, paggapang, pagtumbling at pagsplit ng Nanay nya para maging tao at mabuhay ang mga anak niya ngayon,” he said.
He also noticed how San Jose appeared in the video uploaded by Yulo, saying that the statement might not really be for the gymnast but for the sole purpose of defending his girlfriend.
“Nagdiriwang tayong lahat ngayon sa mga ginto ni Carlos Yulo—nakita natin ang lahat ng kanyang paghihirap, pagsisikap at pagpupunyagi. Pero hindi natin nakita ang pagtakbo, paggapang, pagtumbling at pagsplit ng Nanay nya para maging tao at mabuhay ang mga anak niya ngayon,” Darryl.
As a retaliation, San Jose accused Yap of forcing himself to get involved in the issue.
“Parang ikaw lang direk, dami mong say. Quits lang,” said San Jose.
“Paanong quits? Ikaw, pina say mo sa jowa,” Yap responded.
A French vaulter who went viral on social media received a generous offer from a company to appear on their website in exchange for $250,000 (14-M PHP)
According to the report published by TMZ, the company CamSoda was offering Anthony Ammirati a hefty amount of money to do a daring act on their platform.
“If it was up to me, I’d award you for what everyone else saw: your talent below the belt,” said CamSoda vice president Daryn Parker.
“As a lover of crotch-centric activities, I’d love to offer you up to $250,000 in exchange for a 60-minute webcam show in which you show off your goods, minus the crossbar, of course,” he added.
It can be recalled that Ammirati failed to achieve his 5.7m target during the qualifiers of pole vault after a part of his body was caught by the bar on his way down.
Ammirati described the incident as a “big disappointment” for him as he failed to reach his gold medal dream due to unforeseen circumstances.
Carlos Yulo’s financier and mentor, Cynthia Carrion, received netizens’ praise after being instrumental in the Filipino gymnast’s two-gold medal finish during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In a Facebook post, Rodel Revilla shared the story of Carlo’s meeting with Cynthia Carrion, the current president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP).
According to Revilla, Carrion had been financing young people in the country for two decades, as she believed that someone in the Philippines would become a world-class athlete.
“Carlos was just a young boy from Manila when Cynthia first saw him at a local gymnastics competition. His performance was electrifying; his movements were precise and filled with an energy that set him apart from his peers. Cynthia, attending the event to scout for talent, immediately knew she had found a gem,” said Revilla.
“After the competition, she approached Carlos and his family. She introduced herself and offered to sponsor his training and education. Carlos’s parents, who worked tirelessly to make ends meet, were initially skeptical but soon realized the sincerity in Cynthia’s eyes. They accepted her offer, marking the beginning of a partnership that would change Carlos’s life forever,” she added.
Carrion also shouldered some of the expenses for Carlos’ training in Japan under one of the best coaches in the world.
“Carlos faced moments of doubt and fatigue, but Cynthia was always there to remind him of his potential. She became more than just a financier; she was a mentor, a confidante, and a second mother. She taught him the value of perseverance, the importance of discipline, and the power of believing in oneself,” he wrote.
“Carlos’s dedication began to pay off as he started winning medals at international competitions. Each victory brought him closer to his ultimate dream: the Olympics. Meanwhile, Cynthia continued to support him from the shadows, never seeking the limelight for herself. She believed that true success was about empowering others to shine,” he added.
Carrion was still in her quest to find more athlete who could become the next Carlos Yulo and will bring honor to the country.
“Ang daming taong tumulong sa akin. Si Ma’am Cythia, lahat po inaaway niya para lang suportahan ako. Siya ‘yung tumayong magulang ko po, naniwala po talaga sa akin,” Carlos said.
Mrs. Angelica Yulo was reportedly planning to hold a press conference tomorrow to speak about her rift with her son, Carlos Yulo.
According to Arnold Aguirre of Quad A Marketing Communications & Consulting Inc., Mrs. Yulo would meet the press at Heroes Hotel – Rooftop in Manila around 10 AM.
“Ms Angelica Yulo will make her statement and clarifications, while Atty Raymond Fortun will head the said conference,” Aguirre said.
The press conference was announced following Carlos’ statement against his mother.
According to Carlos, Mrs. Yulo used the money he gained from his allowance and cash incentives without his permission.
“Yung principle po kasi dito ay wala sa liit o sa laki ang amount incentives na ginalaw niya, kundi po sa pagtago at paggalaw niya ng walang consent,” he said.
However, Mrs. Yulo denied the statements, saying she had the bank statements to prove she didn’t pocket her son’s money.
As a response, Carlos said he also had the statement to prove that her mother was using the money without his knowledge.
“Bukod sa incentives at nasa kanya rin po kasi ‘yung bank account ko sa monthly allowances sa pag-gi-gymnastics ko,” he stated.
“Nung nakuha ko ‘yung bank account na ‘yon, doon ko nalaman na inuubos niya po ‘yung laman non, nasa akin po ‘yung mga bank statements nung withdrawal na ginagawa niya po,” he added.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo addressed his mother after their issue was publicized on social media.
In his statement, Carlos said that he was acknowledging the congratulatory message made by his mother, but he hinted that he was not yet ready to meet her.
“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,” he added.
Despite his disappointment towards his mother, Carlos wished for his mother’s well-being.
“Ang message ko po sa inyo ma, mag-heal kayo, mag move on at napatawad ko na po kayo long time ago, pinagpe-pray ko na maging safe kayo palagi at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan diyan lahat,” he said.
It can be recalled that Mrs. Yulo went viral on social media after her post praising Japan’s performance during the 2024 Paris Olympics was uncovered by netizens.
Japan won during the said competition while Carlos was only twelve, which the netizens interpreted as a post against her own son.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo finally made a statement following his misunderstanding with his mother, Angelica Yulo.
In his post, Carlos clarified several of his mother’s claims, including the incentives he was supposed to receive.
Carlos debunked his mother’s claims that he only received P70,000 during the World Championships 2022, saying he gained six-digit cash incentives from the government.
He was also not informed by his mother that she already received the incentives, which made him disappointed.
“Yung principle po kasi dito ay wala sa liit o sa laki ang amount incentives na ginalaw niya, kundi po sa pagtago at paggalaw niya ng walang consent,” he said.
“The fact na nilihim nyo sakin na kinuha nyo na pala yung pera nung world championship dun palang ma kinuhaan mo na ko at nag sinungaling ka na.
“Ewan ko kung ano iniisip mo ma pero kahit gaano pa kaganda yung intention mo ma maling maling yung ginawa mo,” he added.
Carlos also defended his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, from being called ‘red flag’ by his mother, saying that Mrs. Yulo quickly judged his partner due to her skimpy outfit.
“Yung about sa about na red flag po si Chloe na sinabi ng mama ko, hinusgahan niya po agad sa pananamit at sa pag-akto po niya. Magkaiba po ng kinalakihan, unang-una lumaki po si Chloe sa Australia, at ‘yun po nakagisnan niyang culture at ibang iba po talaga sa Pilipinas kung paano tayo gumalaw, magsalita at manamit,” he said.
He also said that Chloe was gaining her own income and didn’t need to rely on him.
Carlos also said that his mother still held all of his bank accounts, so it would be impossible for him to give them to Chloe.
“Bukod sa incentives at nasa kanya rin po kasi ‘yung bank account ko sa monthly allowances sa pag-gi-gymnastics ko,” he stated.
“Nung nakuha ko ‘yung bank account na ‘yon, doon ko nalaman na inuubos niya po ‘yung laman non, nasa akin po ‘yung mga bank statements nung withdrawal na ginagawa niya po,” he added.
MRS. YULO DIDN’T LIKE CHLOE SINCE THE START.
Carlos also said that her mother didn’t like Chloe even though they had not yet met.
“Unang-una ayaw na talaga niya kay Chloe kahit hindi niya pa po nakikita or nakikilala in person, and mas nagkalabuan po kami naglagay po ako ng boundaries sa relationship ko kasi talagang pinaglaban ko po si Chloe dahil gusto ko po siya eh,” he said.
He also addressed her mother’s statement, who feared that Chloe might seduce Carlos’ siblings when they stay in the same room.
“Ang dumi niya po mag-isip at inappropriate ‘yon para sa akin at disrespectful po ‘yon para sa akin at si Chloe,” he stated.
CHLOE DIDN’T MANIPULATE CARLOS TO STAY AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY.
The gymnast also denied that Chloe manipulated him to stay away from his family, saying that they even tried to spend their time with his siblings.
They also showed some of the messages sent by Carlos’ sister, Jorielgel who also went viral recently for her posts against her brother.
Carlos also said that his mother also met with Chloe’s family twice and even made a group chat so they could bond.
However, the group chat became an arena after Carlos’ relatives started to take swipes against Chloe.
However, despite the treatment of Carlos’s family towards Chloe, the family of the latter still tried to respect Yulo’s family.
CARLOS MESSAGE TO HER MOM.
“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.
“Ang message ko po sa inyo ma, mag-heal kayo, mag move on at napatawad ko na po kayo long time ago, pinagpe-pray ko na maging safe kayo palagi at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan diyan lahat,” he added.
