Two-time Paris Olympics gold medalist Carlos Yulo continued to stay mum about his rift with his family, but, this time, admitted to having committed “mistakes,” that have caused him to suffer from karma.

Yulo and his girlfriend Chloe San Jose were guests of Toni Gonzaga in her vlog, which was broadcast on her YouTube channel on September 22. In the interview, Gonzaga noted that Yulo’s family has been vocal about their misunderstanding, shooting posts and comments here and there on social media, while the gymnast mostly kept to himself, with San Jose acting as his defender.

“Personal po kasi masyado eh. Hindi na rin po para malaman ng tao, ng buong sambayanan kung ano ‘yung nangyari. Basta ako, alam ko po sa sarili ko, sa puso ko na napatawad ko sila and inamin ko sa sarili ko na nagkamali ako,” he said.

“Kinarma na ako, kasi mali nga naman na sagutin mo sila nang ganu’n. Siyempre, emosyonal ka na po eh. Gusto mo ipaglaban ‘yung sarili mo and relationship niyo,” continued Yulo without delving too deep into the details.

(It’s too personal. It shouldn’t be something that people and the whole country should know about. For me, I know to myself and in my heart that I forgave them. I admitted to myself that I was also wrong. I had my karma because it was wrong to talk back to them. Of course, I was emotional. I want to fight for myself and our relationship.)

Despite this, Yulo said he would rather choose to stay faithful to God, noting that it was because of his faith that led him to achieve milestones as a gymnast and to people who truly love him.

“Alam ko kung ano ‘yung mali ko. Tinanggap ko ‘yun. Ipinagdasal ko ‘yun kay Lord. Humingi ako ng tawad. Magfofocus ako sa sarili ko ngayon and sa relationship namin ni Chloe, and nag-move on na kami,” he said.

“‘Yung blessing na binigay ni Lord, hindi mo maexplain sa sobrang laki. At the same time, binigyan niya ako ng mga taong totoong magmamahal at susuportahan ako,” he continued

(I know what I did wrong. I accepted it. I dedicated it to the Lord. I asked for forgiveness. I will focus on myself and my relationship with Chloe, and we will move on. The blessings that the Lord gave me, I couldn’t even describe because of how great they are. At the same time, he blessed me with people who truly love and support me.)

Yulo did not explain what mistake he was referring to and what kind of “karma” he dealt with. However, it would be recalled that following his historic win at the Paris Olympic, he suffered public backlash after he and San Jose spoke up against his mother, Angelica.

Angelica, too, had her fair share of criticism, for her lack of support for Yulo at the height of his Olympics campaign and verbal attack on Yulo and his girlfriend, who was with him in Paris.

According to Yulo, his mother used to handle his financial affairs, until he found out about her alleged undisclosed withdrawals and mishandling of his savings. He made the public know about this through a social media post, with San Jose beside him.

Standing up for Carlos

San Jose was then asked by Gonzaga if Yulo’s family problems were painful to her as well. She shared that it was, as it reminded her of her own problems with her family.

“Siyempre, nasasaktan po ako kasi it happened to me. I know how it feels like na your own blood is putting you down, hindi naniniwala sa’yo,” she said. “Yeah, family first. Pero your family should be the first one na sinusuportahan ka, pinoprotektahan ka. So why is it the opposite?”

(Of course, I’m hurt because it happened to me as well. I know how it feels that your own blood is putting you down and not believing in you. Yeah, family first. But your family should be the first one supporting and protecting you. So why is it the opposite?)

Without disclosing any names, San Jose said the thought of a family putting someone down “doesn’t make sense” for her, knowing that they should love unconditionally.
