CARLOS YULO – The two-time Olympic gold medalist and pride of the Philippines appeared on Willie Revillame’s show, Wil To Win, to express his gratitude to his supporters.
During the show, Willie gave Carlos a gold jacket with the show’s logo and his name on it, a gesture that has become a trademark of Willie’s shows, where he gives jackets to contestants, studio audience members, or visiting celebrities.

Willie praised Carlos for the honor he has brought to the Philippines, while Carlos, when asked about his inspirations, credited the Lord first for giving him talent, strength, and guidance. He emphasized that he has always felt the Lord’s blessings, even during challenging times.
Carlos also expressed deep gratitude to his family and his partner, Chloe San Jose, for their support of his well-being and mental health, both in training and during competitions. He also gave a special mention to Cynthia Carrion, the president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines. Carlos was careful with his words, particularly when discussing his partner, Chloe, who has been controversial since he won his first Olympic gold medal.
Willie asked Carlos to share a message for his loved ones, to which Carlos responded with heartfelt thanks. He expressed his appreciation for their constant support, prayers, and care, not just as an athlete but as a person. He acknowledged that their love and support have significantly impacted his success.
Meanwhile, netizens questioned why Carlos Yulo’s family was absent from events like the welcoming of Filipino Olympians, the Malacañang ceremony, and the parade in Manila. According to an interview with Carlos’ grandfather, Rodrigo Frisco, the family was reportedly told not to attend. However, Carlos’ father, Mark Andrew Yulo, was spotted at the parade, waving to his son like a fan. Carlos noticed his father and saluted him in return.
