Yulo Family Receives P1 Million from Chavit Singson

Yulo Family receives ₱1 million from Ilocos Sur governo Chavit Singson, who hopes to spark reconciliation between Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his parents.

Yulo Family Receives ₱1 Million from Chavit Singson as the former Ilocos Sur Governor extends a generous “pre-Yuletide” gift. The heartfelt gesture aims to promote healing and reconciliation between two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo and his parents. With the holiday season approaching, Singson hopes the ₱1 million offering will help mend family ties and encourage unity during this meaningful time of year.

Singson expressed his commitment to fostering a spirit of unity. During his visit, he described himself as a “catalyst of love and forgiveness,” urging both sides to prioritize their relationship over personal achievements. He remarked in his statement cited by the Philippine Star, “No amount of success should overshadow one’s love and respect for his family. Forgiveness, understanding, and compassion should always prevail among members of Filipino families.”

The call for reconciliation comes at a pivotal moment for Yulo, who made history for his accomplishments in gymnastics. The young athlete captured gold medals in both the floor exercise and vault events at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. His triumph has not only elevated his profile on the global stage but has also come with substantial financial rewards, exceeding P100 million in incentives.

The parents of Carlos, Andrew and Angelica, received the P1 million gift, along with their children Elaiza and Eldrew.

“As we approach the most wonderful time of the year, Filipinos are hoping for the Yulos to give us a gift that’s more precious than gold—the gift of family unity,” said Singson.

Earlier this year, Singson had announced a P5-million reward for Yulo and his family, contingent upon their acceptance of the offer as a united front.
