Let us celebrate the Victory of our Golden boy Carlos Yulo. Ignore the noise Caloy. Focus on what is important. This is not the proper venue to discuss matters like that. Do not allow anyone to use your victory to their advantage. Thank you for making us, Filipino's Proud. God Bless you Caloy.

🤦🏻‍♀️ Oh no! Instead of calling your son directly on his phone, a presscon? really? People of the Philippines are celebrating your son’s hard work & gold medals from the olympics and this is what you do?!!!

[mayleenmenez]

But you started it though. :( As a fellow mom, your actions are saddening. Instead of celebrating your son's YEARS of hard work, you practically disowned him on a very PUBLIC platform via your personal posts. A momentary episode of anger and resentment or whatever it is that led you to do what you did caused all of this to be out in the open. By holding interviews and this presscon (which appears to me as disingenious), your actions are confusing. Because before you came out... the public didn't know about you and that your son had questions about how you managed his finances. We now know all of this because you spoke first and your son had to speak for himself too.

And now you did this press conference. There is only one heart you needed to win... your son's. You only needed to clear your name to your son as well because it is/was his money. Even if you had to do it legally... you still could have done it DISCREETLY. The moment you aired your dirty laundry to the public, you cannot stop and control the implications... including fake accounts made in your name to capitalize on this trending issue. You could have avoided this altogether if you did not open the door via an unnecessary public outcry WHILE your son was working hard to bring honor back to the country.

We don't know what your real agenda is... a presscon cannot reveal that. But if you really love your son and your family... cover and protect them rather than continue to expose them in this manner. Tbh, it seems a very selfish move on your end... without thinking that this will be in your son's public file. And if your other children also follow their elder brother's footsteps, this will be on their public file even before they step into the limelight. So sad. No PR move can erase what you did actually. And personally, I feel so bad for you son because all this is stealing the joy of his Olympic victory. Sana man lang... you waited. Nagtimpi ka na lang sana. At talagang you discussed this privately. Hay. :(

[smalltowngirl]

I now think his greatest achievement for now is not his 2 gold medals - rather, his most important achievement is “standing up for himself”.

[ikkhtjo]

I just hope media will stop making this
a big issue. Please let the Yulo family
settle their family dispute. All families
are not perfect. So let us help Caloy
and family by making this issue
" NONE OF OUR BUSINESS" and let
them move on
Let us rejoice and celebrate the
honor Caloy gave to our beloved
PHILIPPINES. Let us add a little
prayer to the family and leave them
alone.

This is a family issues and let's leave it alone and not for public discussion. The mother should know better than seek public attention and pity. Carlos Yulo was right, let's just focus with the achievements of ALL Filipino athletes for this historic win.

[lynethdeoferio]

You're crying because you can't control your son anymore. I don’t understand why narcissistic parents mistreat their children and then expect respect in return. She never genuinely asked for forgiveness during this interview or admitted her faults; she only apologized to stop public scrutiny cause she couldn’t handle it anymore. This is a classic sign of narcissism.

[charlephericoperez]

As a mother, it's your duty to protect your child, and you should avoid letting money matters cause conflict. What you did is embarrassing; you came across as greedy for money. Nakakahiya ginawa nyong scandalo sa pamilya nyo, Instead of the whole Philippines celebrating Caloy's Olympic victory, you've disrupted his momentum.

[mrscitrine]

The good thing is no matter what the media, fake news or yung nanay ni Carlos is saying, no one can take away anything from him . The Philippines is proud of you Caloy

[malca]

Both sides were heard. Let us leave them to resolve this privately. Media and netizens should stop making these issues bigger. Supporting Carlos Yulo means respecting his family and privacy.

[ziagarapo]

Actions have consequences.Kung di ka nagpost ng kung ano ano sa fb mo at nag pa interview di yan kakalat.

[firefly]

This is a once in a lifetime moment for Carlos and the entire country to Won a double gold by a single person sa Olympics. WE SHOULD FOCUS ON THAT.. LIKE HOW WE CELEBRATE PIA, CAtriona, Efren Bata Reyes, and PacMan.

Family problems should stay at home.. at Sana wag na sulsulan ng mga Media, bloggers at kung sino pa.

[phineto]

you are a mother, ,
be a mother, ,
a mother who can sacrifice everything for their children
dont be prideful, ,

[hyacinthbalmaceda]

Let us celebrate the victory of Carlos Yulo. Ignore the noise Caloy. We are so PROUD of you. The best to way to handle this is to FOCUS on what is important. Personal matters should be handled accordingly. Do not allow anyone to use your victory to their advantage. God Bless you Caloy.

[margepell]

Just because you’re a Mother! Doesn’t entitles you to financial and verbally abused, your son.

1st Nanay, dapat dika unang nagsalita sa media, nagpa-interview ka at magdadakdak against sa anak mo sa kasagsagan ng laban nya sa halip na suportahan mo.
2nd dapat irespeto mo rin ang anak mo, hindi naman nagdamot ang anak mo sayo, sa katunayan nga iniwan pasayo ang passbook nya, Ibig sabihin hindi sya madamot..
matuto kalang sana na magpaalam na kukuha ka ng pera para alam din ng anak mo., inamin mo nga sa interview na hindi ka nagpaalam eh, kundi nabanggit ng kapatid na nagwithdraw ka para ipaayos ang bahay nyo.
3rd hindi palabigasan ang anak mo, naghirap yan ng maraming taon sa pagti-training, ngayun makontento ka kung ano ang ibigay sayo ng anak mo..
4th kung nangangamba ka kasi may kahati ka sa pera ng anak mo, , dapat ikaw nalang ang tumambling sa olympic.
5th be proud ka sa anak mo, bayani ng bayan natin yan.. try mo nanay na mag olympic ka, pagnanalo ka eh disayo lahat ng pera mo.
6th dimo masisi ang anak mo na idepensa ang sarili nya, hindi naman masama ang mangatwiran lalo na kung mali ang paratang.. kailangan nya rin na linisin at sagutin mga akusasyon mo lalo nat may pangalan din syang dapat alagaan lalo na ngayun na olympic gold medalist sya ng pinas.

She already gave an interview and it didn't sound nice. She always had a choice to keep her mouth shut about their conflict and just be happy for her son. He is already an adult and became independent at an early age.

Anyone who's trying to steal the limelight will not succeed in eclipsing the legendary double gold that Carlos Yulo won.

And by the way, it's a given that Carlos' family should support him all the way, but Chloe and her family are also instrumental in his success. And that should be acknowledged accordingly.

[MGN-uzon]

Why are you taking away the limelight for your son's accomplishment?

[jeremiahm_]

A mother’s instinct shouldn’t torment her son’s well being! She failed to keep things private and made a foolery in regards to her son’s victory in the Olympics. She should be celebrating but took the latter instead! 🤦🏻‍♂️👎🏼

[VILLAINONBLACKSTAR]

honestly, This just a Toxic parent right there. Why the heck you need a lawyer, that just dirty move to let it out with the news. Kadiri.
