According to Rica, she is aware a lot of people found the video to be “distasteful” but on her end, she understood why Carlos did it.

On Instagram, Rica said what Carlos’s mother did was “painful” and that the latter has a different kind of power since they’re the parent.

Rica also mentioned that while Carlos could have stayed quiet, perhaps his pain is deep that he felt the need to address the issue at hand.

“Saw the sad Carlos Yulo response to his mother and I know many find it distasteful and yet, naiintindihan ko siya because masakit talaga ang ginawa ng nanay niya. Iba ang power ng magulang sa isang anak, lalo na with their kind of relationship na para siyang “mommyger.” Definitely, he could have done better by staying quiet but the pain must be so deep he needed to practice his agency to not feel crushed,” she wrote.
