Film producer Chavit Singson aired unsolicited advice to Olympian Carlos Yulo as shared with media during the opening of BB.Q Chicken’s latest branch in Alabang.
Addressing Carlos, he said, “Kung ano man ang mga nangyari between you and your parents e, patawarin mo na sila. Bilin din ng Diyos ’yan e diba? Be a good role model to the youth. Dapat number one e, pamilya.”
Note that prior, Chavit offered Carlos 5 million pesos in recognition of his exemplary performance in Paris but also for “the unity of the Yulo family.”
He said the reward should “be accepted by the Yulo family and Carlos’ partner Chloe San Jose as a united front.”
Asked why, he said, ‘”Naawa ako sa sitwasyon nila. Hindi maganda yung pinapakita niya. Magbati lang sila, okay na, ibibigay ko sa kanya ang 5 million.”
Chavit made clear he admires Carlos’ Olympic feat, rare as it is, but said, “Yung karangalan, yung gold e, hindi lang naman para sa kanya, para sa lahat na tumulong at nag-aruga sa kanya mula umpisa so, siyempre andun dapat yung pamilya.”
He then reiterated, “Wala kang pinanggalingan kung hindi family mo. Kung ano ang mga nangyari, patawarin mo na sila. Magbati na kayo.”
That said, as of writing, Chavit is yet to receive a response from Carlos.
“Wala. Walang maka-contact sa kanya e,” he said.
The former governor said he has been in contact with both of Carlos’ parents, who have expressed willingness to reconcile with their son.
