Two-time Paris Olympics gold medalist Carlos Yulo continued to stay mum about his rift with his family, but, this time, admitted to having committed “mistakes,” that have caused him to suffer from karma.

Yulo and his girlfriend Chloe San Jose were guests of Toni Gonzaga in her vlog, which was broadcast on her YouTube channel on September 22. In the interview, Gonzaga noted that Yulo’s family has been vocal about their misunderstanding, shooting posts and comments here and there on social media, while the gymnast mostly kept to himself, with San Jose acting as his defender.

“Personal po kasi masyado eh. Hindi na rin po para malaman ng tao, ng buong sambayanan kung ano ‘yung nangyari. Basta ako, alam ko po sa sarili ko, sa puso ko na napatawad ko sila and inamin ko sa sarili ko na nagkamali ako,” he said.

“Kinarma na ako, kasi mali nga naman na sagutin mo sila nang ganu’n. Siyempre, emosyonal ka na po eh. Gusto mo ipaglaban ‘yung sarili mo and relationship niyo,” continued Yulo without delving too deep into the details.

(It’s too personal. It shouldn’t be something that people and the whole country should know about. For me, I know to myself and in my heart that I forgave them. I admitted to myself that I was also wrong. I had my karma because it was wrong to talk back to them. Of course, I was emotional. I want to fight for myself and our relationship.)
