While focusing on his gymnastics career, Carlos Yulo was suddenly caught up in a scandal when Chloe Kay continuously attacked him on social media. In the face of escalating criticism, Carlos’s reaction surprised many people when he remained completely silent and did not respond.
Not only that, Angelica Yulo – who has a close relationship with Carlos – was also unexpectedly compared to Raquel Pempengco, the mother of Charice Pempengco (now Jake Zyrus), causing a stir in the online community.
#### **Carlos Yulo Chooses to Stay Silent in the Face of Attacks**
Carlos Yulo, one of the Philippines’ most outstanding gymnasts, has brought home many prestigious titles for the country. However, besides his brilliant career, his personal life has also been the subject of discussion many times.
Recently, Chloe Kay, who used to be in contact with Yulo, has been constantly criticizing him. The content of her statements not only revolves around personal matters but also implies many things related to Carlos’s life and career.
However, instead of responding or clarifying the issue, Carlos Yulo has remained completely silent. Many fans support this decision, saying that he is putting his career first and does not want to get involved in unnecessary controversies. On the contrary, others think that he should speak up to protect his honor, avoiding rumors from spreading and causing negative effects.
Not only Carlos Yulo, Angelica Yulo was also unexpectedly dragged into the story when netizens compared her to Raquel Pempengco – the famous mother of Charice Pempengco.
Raquel Pempengco has caused controversy with the way she treats her child, especially after Charice decided to transition to Jake Zyrus. Therefore, the fact that Angelica Yulo was included in this comparison has surprised many people and made them wonder about the reason behind it.
Some people think that this comparison is completely lame and baseless, while others question whether there is any conflict between Angelica and Carlos.
Immediately after the incident broke out, public opinion had many different opinions:
Carlos Yulo did the right thing, he doesn’t need to waste time dealing with unnecessary drama.”*
“Chloe Kay seems to be deliberately creating drama to attract attention. Let Carlos focus on his career!”*
“Why compare Angelica to Raquel Pempengco? This is a far-fetched and unreasonable association!”*
Although the incident has not yet come to an end, one thing is for sure: Carlos Yulo is still focusing on his big goals in his gymnastics career. The question is, will he continue to keep quiet or will he finally speak up to explain? Let’s wait and see what happens next in this story!
While the whole Philippines celebrates Carlos Yulo’s two gold medal wins, one person seems unsupportive, sparking reactions from netizens.
Despite Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo winning two gold medals at the Paris Olympics 2024—one in the floor exercise and another in the vault of men’s artistic gymnastics—his mother, Angelica Poquiz Yulo, appeared unsupportive, not posting a single congratulatory message for her son’s victory.
“Japan pa din talaga. Lakas,” Angelica captioned her Facebook post on August 1.
Moreover, Angelica seems to only show loving support to her other gymnast children—Jorielgel, Karl Eldrew, and Elaiza—by posting photos and videos of them and writing sweet messages for the captions.
When netizens visited Angelica’s post in August 2023, they assumed her message was related to Carlos and his girlfriend, Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose. Angelica mentioned that she did not want to believe in bewitching or love potions, yet now she does, hinting that the person she referred to seemed to have lost touch with themselves.
In an interview with Bombo Radyo Philippines, Angelica said that the root cause of the feud is Carlos’ girlfriend. “Ang naging mitsa lang naman ever since is yung babae talaga,” Angelica said.
She shared a story about an incident at a training camp in Japan where Carlos’ brother, gymnast Karl Eldrew, and another athlete, Miguel Besana, were supposed to share the same dorm with the Filipino gold medalist.
However, Carlos’ girlfriend, Chloe, allegedly joined the living arrangement without approval from the coach.
“Patutulugin ko yung anak ko, menor de edad, kasama siya at yung babae? Pangalawa, si Miguel, hindi rin siya papayagan ng parent niya,” said Angelica.
Angelica also said that Carlos’ former coach, Munehiro Kugimiya, was against the living arrangement, saying that people who are not involved in the training camp are not allowed in the athletes’ quarters.
“Pagdating pala doon, ang sabi ni coach Mune, dapat pagdating ni Eldrew at ‘yung teammate niya, wala doon sa bahay niya na binabayaran ng JOC (Japan Olympic Committee) na nire-reimburse ng PSC every end of the year,” Angelica said.
“Dapat bahay lang siya ng mga atleta, parang dorm. ‘Yung mga outsiders, dapat wala doon especially ‘yung walang kinalaman sa training,” she added.
Meanwhile, Chloe has yet to share her side of the story. Both Angelica and Chloe had bashers on their social media accounts.
“Gold medalist ang anak, gold digger ang nanay,” one netizen captioned as they shared Angelica’s Facebook profile.
Meanwhile, Chloe has her own haters, too. “Now I understand kaya di ka gusto ni mommy Yulo, indai Chloe. Tone down na lang styling, indai. Meron naman ganyan sexy pero di malaswa tingnan,” one netizen commented on Chloe’s Instagram post
