MANILA: The Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media chaired by Senator Robinhood Padilla is now gathering articles, videos, and other social media contents that defames two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo.
Padilla, in a Facebook post on Friday, said the committee will take action if it finds abuse against Yulo.
“Ito ay isang babala. Kung Ayaw ninyo magkaproblema, pakiusap mga kababayan (This is a warning. If you don’t want to have a problem, I’m begging you my countrymen), mind your own families mind your own business,” Padilla said.
He said Yulo, who is considered a hero for the country, should be respected and commended for the honor that he brought to the country.
“Nagbigay sa atin ng napakapambihirang karangalan. Intriga at eskandalo ang isinalubong sa kanya. Imbis na makapahinga at magkaroon ng kapanatagan ang isip, katawan at kaluluwa, puro pagpapaliwanag ang naatupag patungkol sa kanyang ina at kasintahan (He gave us a very rare honor, yet he was greeted with intrigue and scand
al. Instead of resting and having peace of mind, body and soul, he has to explain about his mother and girlfriend),” Padilla said.
Yulo’s remarkable achievements in 2024 Paris Olympics have recently sparked discussions in various media platforms about past controversies involving him, his family, and his former coach.
Padilla said these intrigues should be replaced by stories of how Yulo achieved his dreams, and took care for his family, that will inspire Filipinos.
