Carlos Yulo, the celebrated Filipino gymnast, recently addressed statements made by his mother that were released following his victory at the Olympic Games. In a bid to clear the air, Yulo provided detailed explanations regarding the issues raised by his mother, particularly concerning the incentives he received.
According to Yulo, the issue about the incentives pertains to the year 2022, not 2021. His mother had mentioned that the incentive he received was not just ₱70,000 but had reached six digits. When Yulo returned home, his mother did not inform him that she had already received the incentives from the World Championships. He only discovered this after actively seeking information. Yulo clarified that he did not request these incentives; instead, he had already allocated them. His primary concern was to understand where his incentives had gone. He emphasized that the issue was not about the amount of money but about the movement of the money without his consent.
Regarding his mother’s comments about Chloe, Yulo stated that his mother had judged Chloe based on her attire. His understanding was that his mother had referred to Chloe as a “red flag” because of her clothing choices. Yulo pointed out that Chloe grew up in Australia, which has a different culture. He added that Chloe has her own money and that all her belongings and travel expenses are self-funded.
To set the record straight, Yulo expressed that his intention was not to stir controversy but to ensure clarity on these matters. He emphasized that his primary focus remains on his career and maintaining transparency in all aspects of his professional life.
Furthermore, a viral video featuring Carlos Yulo has garnered significant attention. The video, which was uploaded on TikTok, reached one million views within minutes of being posted. The video showcases Yulo addressing these issues and has sparked widespread discussion on social media platforms.
