Angelica Yulo, the mother of Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, took to the public to address recent family controversies and offer an apology. The statement, full of raw emotion and vulnerability, sheds light on the challenges she and her family have faced and her sincere wish for reconciliation.

In her statement, Angelica begins by acknowledging the media frenzy surrounding her family’s issues, saying, “Magandang umaga. Muli, ako po si Mrs. Angelica Yulo, ang nanay ni Carlos Yulo. Ako po ay narito para ipahayag ang aking huling pananalita.” She admits that the situation has become public and expressed regret that their personal matters were not handled privately.

Angelica confesses her imperfections as a mother and her deep desire for her family’s well-being. She reflects on her role, saying, “Hindi ako perpektong ina at alam ng Diyos na hindi ka din perpektong anak at walang perpektong pamilya.” She openly asks for forgiveness from Carlos and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, acknowledging that her worries may have led her to be overly critical.

She reassures Carlos, “Matanda ka na, kaya mo nang magdesisyon para sa sarili mo,” and emphasizes that their home is always open to him, regardless of the circumstances. Angelica also expresses regret over her responses during interviews, admitting that her exhaustion and excitement may have led to hasty remarks.

Angelica acknowledges that her apology might be seen as opportunistic, given Carlos’s success, but insists that her intentions are genuine. “Sana pagkatapos ng panayam na ito, titigil na ang lahat at mananahimik na ang bawat partido,” she says, hoping to bring peace to their family and allow healing to begin.

The statement ends on a hopeful note, celebrating Carlos’s achievements and urging everyone to focus on his success. “Caloy, congratulations sa iyong tagumpay. Mahal kita, mahal ka naming lahat,” she concludes, expressing her love and pride for her son.

Yesterday, Carlos Yulo addressed the situation himself in a TikTok video, aiming to clear the air about his personal life and family issues. As both mother and son seek to move forward, their public apologies mark a step towards mending their relationships and finding peace amidst the turmoil.
