00:00Here I am in the whole country celebrating the double gold win of the Filipino gymnast, Carlos Yuloy.
00:08Yes! Congratulations!
00:10Oh my! I'm so proud!
00:14But there are also a lot of people who are curious.
00:16Who was Caloy before he became the Olympic champion?
00:19Who was he? Well, I know who can answer that.
00:23Ate Sue, this is his grandfather, Lolo Boy,
00:26who is also a gymnast.
00:29That's right! We will be able to talk to Lolo Boy this morning
00:33because he is now in the barangay of Carlos Yuloy.
00:37And we will also give a golden surprise to his barangay.
00:41Yay!
00:42Shairan Caloy, good morning!
00:44That's Barangay Caloy!
00:45Barangay Caloy!
00:46Hi!
00:47Hello! Good morning there in the studio again.
00:49And good morning to you, Kapuso.
00:50Did you know that right here on this road,
00:53a kid's potential was discovered in gymnastics.
00:56And now, he is now a world Olympic champion.
00:59No one else but our Carlos Caloy Yuloy
01:02who won two gold medals here in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
01:06And today, we are here in Barangay 711 here in Malate, Manila.
01:10And we will visit his house that he grew up in
01:13and we will be able to be with him.
01:14Of course, no one else but his grandfather,
01:16whose potential was discovered in him when he was young.
01:19Boy, let's go inside the house. Can we go inside?
01:21Yes, you can.
01:22There, there.
01:23Good morning to you, Tai.
01:26This is Lolo Boy, his grandfather, Caloy Yulo himself.
01:31Let's sit here, Tai.
01:32I want you to tour us around this house.
01:35This is where Caloy grew up, right?
01:37Yes, this is our small house.
01:39I also want you to share,
01:42how old was Caloy when you first discovered his potential in gymnastics?
01:46Well, there was a kid who was playing in our playground
01:53every day.
01:55Yes.
01:56He was tumbling and tumbling.
01:58Then, he saw Caloy.
02:00Yes, he saw a lot of them.
02:02How old was Caloy?
02:04He was around 7 or 6 years old.
02:06Yes, that's when he really started to love tumbling.
02:09Then, one time, there was a competition here at the Rizal Memorial,
02:15which I always ask them to attend whenever there's a competition.
02:18It was a big competition.
02:21I was there with my grandchildren.
02:25Did you just watch the competition?
02:26We just watched.
02:27And Caloy was there with you?
02:29Yes, we were not allowed to enter the oval because it was still early.
02:33Yes.
02:34They were tumbling and tumbling.
02:36You can see that from the start, he was really interested in tumbling.
02:41Yes, he was tumbling and tumbling every hour.
02:43You just let him do it, right?
02:45Yes.
02:46He was tumbling and tumbling.
02:48Then, while we were waiting, he was tumbling and tumbling.
02:51I just let him do it.
02:52Did the competition start?
02:53They saw Team Philippines.
02:57They were wearing pencaks.
02:59Yes.
03:00They asked me where they were training.
03:03In the playground?
03:04Yes, in the playground.
03:05I told them that it's just here.
03:07There's no formal training yet.
03:08Yes.
03:09They told me to bring them to the gymnasium so that they can be accepted.
03:13Yes.
03:14I told them that I don't know where it is.
03:16They told me to bring them to the building.
03:18That's where it started.
03:20How many years ago did he join the competition?
03:23Before anything else, I saw a family picture of Caloy together with the Yulo family.
03:30What a beautiful family.
03:31You can see that he's with a full smile.
03:33And here, explain this to us.
03:35That's from the Asian Games.
03:3618th Asian Games.
03:382018.
03:39What a majestic shot.
03:40You can see the form, the physique of Caloy.
03:44It's a competition proper.
03:47What did he win there?
03:49He won a bronze medal.
03:50Amazing.
03:51He's the weakest.
03:52But he's still bronze.
03:55He has a place in the Asian Games.
03:57He's the weakest.
03:58He's the best in floor, vault, and pivot.
04:01Which is why he won two gold medals in the Olympics.
04:04He's the weakest here.
04:06But still, look at how beautiful this shot is.
04:08That's why it's displayed here.
04:11That's what the photographer wanted.
04:13How many years ago did he join the competition?
04:17In 2007, around November, he joined.
04:23After 4 months of training, he joined the competition.
04:28He was already 8 years old.
04:30He was already 8 years old in his first competition.
04:32He was already 7 years old in November.
04:35After training, he was already 8 years old.
04:40But in his first game, he already won something.
04:42Yes.
04:43How many medals did he win so far?
04:45How many medals did he win so far?
04:46A lot.
04:47We can't count them all.
04:48He won the most medals in the local competitions.
04:53We can't count them all.
04:54But I learned that he won over 300 medals.
04:59Comprised of gold, silver, and bronze.
05:01He won the most gold medals.
05:03Usually, what does Caloy do when he's here?
05:06When he's here in Barangay 711.
05:08He just rests.
05:10He rests.
05:11He uses his cellphone.
05:13This is his only time to rest.
05:15All his life, he's been training.
05:17And we can see how much he improved.
05:20Yes.
05:21Now, because of the Paris Olympics, we can see the results of his training.
05:24Yes.
05:25Caloy used to be quiet.
05:27But when it comes to...
05:28He just goes out for a while.
05:30He rests, uses his cellphone, and does that.
05:32Well, he deserves it.
05:33All the breaks that he does, he deserves it because...
05:35He rests during his free time.
05:37It's necessary.
05:38You're training a lot.
05:40But you need to balance.
05:41You need to rest.
05:42So that when it comes to competitions, you can do your best, right?
05:47Our Caloy Yulo is a true golden boy.
05:51And because...
05:52Ren, you're also one of the reasons why he won the Olympics.
05:55Thank you so much, father.
05:57I can't think of anything else.
05:58I can't think of anything else.
05:59Lolo boy is one of Caloy's potential.
06:02He was just a kid.
