Angelica Yulo receives award thanks to her children

Angelica Yulo, mother of two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, has been awarded the Inspiring Motherhood Legacy Award at the 7th Southeast Asian Achievement Awards.

The recognition celebrates her role in raising high-achieving children, particularly in the field of gymnastics.

Not only Carlos, but two of Angelica’s other children, Karl Eldrew and Elaiza, are also accomplished gymnasts. Karl is set to receive the International Gymnastics Luminary Award, further solidifying the Yulo family’s legacy in sports.

In a statement, the award-giving body praised Angelica for her strength, perseverance, and dedication to her children, even in the face of challenges. They acknowledged how she helped her children excel, despite financial difficulties, and praised her for nurturing their talents from a young age.

“Angelica stood as a guiding light for her family… Despite life’s many challenges, she found ways to help her children thrive in gymnastics, both locally and internationally,” the organization said.

The announcement of Angelica’s award has sparked mixed reactions. Supporters congratulated her, praising her for raising successful children.

“Congratulations, Angelica Poquiz Yulo. You deserve this award for everything you’ve done for your family,” one user commented on social media.

However, some netizens were skeptical, raising eyebrows due to ongoing family controversies involving Carlos Yulo and his relationship with Chloe San Jose, which reportedly caused tension within the family.

Despite these differing opinions, the award-giving body focused on Angelica’s achievements as a mother. They acknowledged that, like all families, the Yulos have had their share of struggles but praised Angelica’s ability to rise above them.

The statement added, “Family will always be family, no matter what. Angelica continues to face challenges with grace and hopes for unity within her family.”

Through this recognition, Angelica Yulo’s journey as a mother stands as an inspiration, showcasing the resilience and love required to raise world-class athletes while navigating life’s ups and downs.
