Olympian Carlos Yulo Makes Peace With Mom, Gifts Her Lifetime Supply of Cotton Buds

(Quezon City) – Carlos Yulo, who clinched two gold medals for the Philippines at the Paris Olympics, has offered to end his much publicized rift with his mother by gifting her the lifetime supply of cotton buds awarded to him by Mercury Drug.

After finishing first in the men’s floor and vault competitions in the Paris Olympics, Yulo received 20 billion pesos from various branches of the Philippine government, a 60-story condominium building in Makati from Manny Villar, free Philippine Airlines flights for life, a Toyota Land Cruiser, a lifetime supply of ramen, and untold other prizes and awards.

However, Yulo’s historic achievement has been marred by a highly public feud with his mother, whom he has accused of spending his money without his approval.

But it did not take long for the soft-spoken Olympian, known to his friends and acquaintances for his generosity and kindness, for a change of heart regarding his estranged parent.

“Despite our misunderstandings, my mom is still a very important person in my life,” said Yulo during an interview with Kidlat News. “That is why I am giving her my lifetime supply of cotton buds as a sign of my earnestness to patch things up.”

“Of all the awards that I have received,” added the Olympian, “the Mercury Drug premium cotton buds made from natural fibers is one I highly appreciate because they are super effective in cleaning my ears after I shower after each gymnastics practice. I hope my mom will appreciate them as much as I do.”

Yulo has yet to make up his mind if he will give her his lifetime supply of dental floss as well.
