Carlos Yulo’s teachers from Adamson University talked to RTVM and honestly gave their opinion on how Caloy was when he was still a student.

His teachers said that he was persistent and one who has a goal

He was also very determined, and despite his schedule, he would complete all requirements.

“Napaka-proud ng mga Adamsonians,” said Roel Selva, the science teacher of Caloy.

“Siguro, humility has something to do with that. Kasi hindi siya mayabang, never he has been mayabang. Sa mga kaklase niya, very humble siya. He sees himself to be an ordinary student. Hindi siya malaki ang ulo. Isa siguro yun sa nakatulong sa kanya,” Marissa Zoleta, Caloy’s English teacher in Adamson said.

Carlos Yulo is a Filipino artistic gymnast known for his exceptional skills and achievements in gymnastics. He gained international recognition for his performances in various competitions, particularly in the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships. He won two gold medals in gymnastics’ men’s floor exercise and men’s vault in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

The government has announced a cash incentive of P20 million in cash, funded by PAGCOR, that will be given to Carlos as reward for his two Olympic gold medals. The announcement was made by PAGCOR Chairman Alejandro Tengco. In Manila Bulletin’s report, he said that Caloy does not know yet that he will be receiving that incentive from the agency. Caloy is guaranteed by law to receive the incentive, and that will be coming from PAGCOR, as per reports.

It can be recalled that Carlos bagged two gold medals for the Philippines at the Paris Olympics 2024. The Olympian ruled the men’s floor exercises of the artistic gymnastics competition and the Men’s Vault. Because of this, he is set to receive lavish rewards both in monetary and real estate form. He will also receive a house and lot, and a condominium unit as pledged by a property developer.
