Olympic gymnastics champion Carlos Yulo recently addressed rumors and false details about his previous incentives and his relationship with his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose.
On his TikTok account, the two-time Olympic gold medalist posted a video clarifying several issues stemming from claims made by his mother, Angelica Yulo.
He began by addressing the reported PhP70,000 incentive he received from the World Gymnastics Championships in 2021. Carlos corrected the information, stating it was actually from the year 2022 and that he should have received a six-figure amount for the incentives.
He then alleged that he discovered most of his money was secretly taken by his mother, who held his bank accounts before.
"Mga bandang December, umuwi po ako sa Pilipinas. Nagkita po kami ng mama ko at hindi niya po sinabi na na receive na niya pala yung incentives ko from world championships. Hindi ko pa po malalaman na nareceive niya na po yung incentives ko kung hindi ko pa po hinanap," he explained.
Carlos added, "Never ko po narecieve yung incentives ko po na iyon [and] never ko na rin po na hiningi sa kanila. Binigay ko na at wala na po iyon sa akin. Ang sa akin lang naman, gusto ko lang malaman kung saan napunta 'yung incentives ko."
The gymnast clarified that he wasn't upset about the stolen money but about the breach of trust and the secrecy involved.
"Yung principle po kasi dito, wala sa liit [o] wala sa laki ng amount po na incentives po na ginalaw niya, kung hindi po sa pagtago at pag galaw niya na wala ko pong consent. Iyon 'yung pinopoint ko po sa kaniya," he said.
Carlos also addressed his mother's negative claims about his girlfriend. At one point, Angelica judged Chloe negatively based on her appearance. Carlos defended Chloe, explaining that she was raised in Australia, where cultural norms, actions, and clothing are different from Filipinos.
Carlos further stressed that Chloe is financially independent.
"Unang-una po, si Chloe po, may sarili siyang income. Lahat po ng nakikita ninyong gamit at yung pag-travel niya kung saan-saan, galing po yun sa pinagpaguran niya po," he said.
At the end of his video, the 24-year-old athlete acknowledged his family's congratulatory message.
He said, "May recent interview po kayo na kino-congratulate n'yo po ako. Kung genuine po talaga yun, maraming-maraming po. Ina-acknowledge ko po yung pagko-congratulate n'yo sa akin. Pero nagpa-flashback pa rin sa akin po talaga yung mga masasakit ninyon sinabi sa akin at yung mga hindi ninyo pag-wish well sa akin."
In the end, he also wished his family well, especially his mom.
"Ang message ko po sa inyo, ma, mag-heal kayo, mag-move on, at napatawad ko na kayo a long time ago. Pinagpe-pray ko na maging safe kayo palagi at nasa maayos kayong kalagayan."
