Fans were thrilled when they saw Filipino athlete brothers Carlos and Eldrew Yulo together at the Philippine Sportswriters Association (PSA) Awards held at the Manila Hotel on January 27. The two athletes have been making waves in the sports world, and seeing them together at the event was a special moment for many Filipinos.
Carlos, the elder brother and a two-time Olympic gold medalist, received the prestigious Athlete of the Year award. His younger brother, Eldrew, was recognized with a special citation for his achievements in gymnastics. The brothers’ accomplishments are impressive, with Carlos making history as the first Filipino male athlete to win two gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics, while Eldrew has been dominating in gymnastics, winning multiple gold medals in international competitions.
The moment was extra special as their mother, Angelica Yulo, had been publicly critical of Carlos’ relationship with his girlfriend, content creator Chloe San Jose. However, both Carlos and Eldrew attended the PSA Awards, and Chloe also joined them, interacting with Eldrew. This showed how the brothers, despite past family issues, were able to share a moment of triumph together.
During their interview with ABS-CBN’s Dyan Castillejo, viewers were excited to see the two brothers interact in front of the cameras. It became a heartwarming moment for many, with some Filipino fans commenting on social media how happy they were to see the Yulo brothers united.
“Let’s just be happy for the brothers being together, please,” one fan commented, while another shared, “It’s nice to see them together, and I hope this is the start of something good for the family.”
Carlos and Eldrew have often faced comparisons due to their shared family background and individual successes, especially after the rift between Carlos and their mother became public. Despite this, both brothers continue to support each other’s growth and achievements.
In addition to his Olympic triumph, Carlos has remained focused on his career, while Eldrew continues to shine in the gymnastics world. Eldrew’s recent victories include eight gold medals at the Chiu Wai Chung Cup in Hong Kong, as well as multiple golds at the 3rd JRC Artistic Gymnastics Stars Championship in Thailand.
While their family struggles have been public, the Yulo brothers continue to show their strength as athletes and as brothers. Fans are excited to see them together, and many are hopeful that this is a sign of reconciliation and continued success for the Yulo family.
