Senatorial candidate Chavit Singson has extended a helping hand to the Yulo family by donating ₱1 million, a move he hopes will ease tensions in a family embroiled in a very public dispute. His gesture comes as a response to the widely discussed conflict involving champion gymnast Carlos Yulo and his mother, Mrs. Angelica Yulo, which has drawn attention on social media.
The family’s rift began when Mrs. Yulo allegedly withdrew Carlos’s prize money from the 2022 World Championships without his knowledge, sparking misunderstandings and a widening divide. Carlos’s girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, further fueled the controversy by openly criticizing Mrs. Yulo’s actions, claiming she had been judged over her behavior and clothing choices.
Singson expressed his aim to “bridge the gap” within the family, stating that his “heartfelt desire is to foster understanding, forgiveness, and compassion among them.” He emphasized, “No amount of success should overshadow one’s love and respect for family.”
Singson shared his hope that this financial assistance would not only provide relief but also act as a catalyst for healing within the Yulo family. “Let this be a time for healing and unity,” he added.
Public response to Singson’s initiative has been positive, with many commending his efforts to promote family unity. His generous gesture arrives as he prepares for a Senate bid in the 2025 elections, marking his continued commitment to public service.
