00:00Our double gold medalist in the Paris Olympics, Carlos Yulo, is here with us.
00:11Where were you when Manny Pacquiao made everyone fall in front of him?
00:22When Lea Salonga won the International Awards for her performance in Miss Saigon.
00:29When Miss Universe was crowned, Pia Wurtzbach and Catriona Gray.
00:35These are just a few of the stories in history where our nation's history was recognized all over the world.
00:43When in the most amazing moments, we, Filipinos, grew up.
00:50Where were you when in the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, the Philippines won a gold medal for the first time in the Olympics through weightlifter Heidelin Diaz?
01:10And now, where were you when after the Paris 2024 Olympics, our gymnast, Carlos Yulo, won not just one, but two gold medals.
01:30Where were you when after the Paris 2024 Olympics, our gymnast, Carlos Yulo, won not just one, but two gold medals.
01:36This Tuesday night, our golden boy returned to the Philippines.
01:41Along with our Olympic bronze medalists, Neste Petesho and Ira Villegas, and other Filipino athletes who fought in the Paris 2024 Olympics.
01:53They were warmly welcomed by our fellow Filipinos.
02:00After that, Carlos's schedule was already jam-packed.
02:05Let's celebrate the results we got, and let's do better in the next competitions. Thank you very much.
02:15He was recognized by many people. He was also awarded a Medal of Merit in Malacanang.
02:22And a Medal of Excellence from the House of Representatives.
02:29This Wednesday, he finished riding a gondola in a mall in Taguig, where he also won his new condominium unit.
02:42I was able to interview our golden boy.
02:48First of all, Kaloy, congratulations. You did great.
02:53Not just one, but two.
02:55How do you feel? Please share with us. Thank you for what you did for all of us.
03:02I am very thankful to God that I did not give up on all the challenges that the world gave me.
03:10And of course, God. There were people who helped me. They did not abandon me.
03:16Carlos Yulo's journey was not easy.
03:19It was not easy for Carlos Yulo before he was awarded the Double Gold Medal in the Paris Olympics.
03:26For example, he was able to pass through the hole in the fence in the Preliminary Qualification Rounds.
03:32He made it to the three finals events.
03:36The All-Around, Vault, and his favorite, the Floor Exercise.
03:41In the All-Around Finals, Carlos Yulo was able to hold his breath.
03:47He fell off the pommel horse.
03:50At first, I was nervous because you fell off the pommel horse, right? What happened?
03:55It really happens in competitions and also in training.
04:03It was an all-around competition.
04:05And as an all-arounder, I was able to see that I was still far from winning the medal in the All-Around.
04:13But he immediately recovered when he showed his strength in the finals of the Floor Exercise.
04:21He was awarded the Gold Medal.
04:25In the Floor Exercise, I was really emotional.
04:35But even though we weren't able to hold our breath and get over the golden moment,
04:43the next day, he made it to the finals of the Vault.
04:47I just pray that I'll be safe in that competition and I'll be able to do the performance that I want.
04:54Where did he get his second gold medal?
04:59The Gold Medal!
05:02What about the second gold medal? Did you know that you'll get it?
05:07For the second gold medal in the Vault, it was really unexpected.
05:11Because of course, it's a bonus, right? There's no more pressure. Is that so, Caloy?
05:16As in, there's no more pressure.
05:19For the second gold medal, I was really relaxed.
05:22Maybe the fact that I got the gold on the floor helped.
05:26I was able to release all my stress and anxiety.
05:29Before, I was really nervous.
05:31It was a bonus to get the second gold medal.
05:33It's not only in the Philippines, but also in Southeast Asia.
05:36Gymnastics is expensive.
05:38It requires a lot of space and specialized equipment to train.
05:44Carlos showed me his two gold medals.
05:49Which one is it?
05:51I don't know.
05:53That's the hard part.
05:55You just have to hold it.
05:56Okay, so now, Carlos doesn't know which one is his first gold medal.
06:01They didn't even put a label on it.
06:04Yes.
06:06This is a special one. It's part of the Eiffel Tower.
06:09And because Carlos made us happy,
06:14this is also a real gold medal.
06:17This is my brother-in-law, Kakagatin.
06:19In 1924, the Philippines made history
06:27as the first country in Southeast Asia
06:31to participate in the Summer Olympics held in Paris, France.
06:37It's been 100 years since our Olympic debut.
06:42We made history again
06:44with the double gold medals of Yulo
06:48and the bronze medals of Neste Petesho and Aira Villegas.
06:54And the awards were awarded to Yulo.
06:58If all the recipients agree,
07:02there will be more than 100 million pesos.
07:08There will be more winners and more awards.
07:14So now, let's get ready for the next Olympics.
07:19What changed, Carlos?
07:22In my personality, I became more open to the world.
07:27I got to know myself more.
07:31I got closer to God.
07:34One of the big helpers to Carlos Yulo
07:37is the president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines,
07:41Silvia Carreon.
07:45A couple of the time, he was smaller.
07:48He was very big.
07:53Very dedicated.
07:55He wanted only to tumble, but he was dedicated.
07:58So I said, Carlos, you joined the Batang Pinoy,
08:01and that's only 12 years and under.
08:03He joined without coach.
08:05And now, he won a medal.
08:07When I interviewed Carreon in 2019,
08:11he was like an angel.
08:13I promise you.
08:15Listen to me hard.
08:17He's going to get the Olympic gold.
08:19Please.
08:21So how does it feel, ma'am?
08:24Two medals.
08:26It's so touching.
08:28The one thing that I pray that he doesn't get injured.
08:31Because once you get injured,
08:33it's very hard.
08:35Just to go to the finals.
08:37That's all we wanted.
08:39He's a strong man.
08:40He really knows,
08:42and he always warms up one hour before,
08:45and cools down one hour.
08:47So that prevents him from having an injury.
08:50Ma'am, thank you.
08:52Because you are also a big part of the people who met Carlos.
08:57Carreon's story.
08:59Who asked for funds
09:01to support Carlos' training.
09:04Especially, training in gymnastics is expensive.
09:10In Yulo's family,
09:12his grandfather, Rodrigo,
09:14was the first to spot
09:16his talent in gymnastics.
09:18Of course, I'm very happy.
09:20It's like I'm not on the ground anymore.
09:23We jumped in the water.
09:25I think I'm the one who did it.
09:27And in this park in Manila,
09:29the dream of Carlos,
09:31who was only 7 years old,
09:33came true.
09:35He used to play tumbling here.
09:37They have a lot of kids.
09:38The kids play to read.
09:40Oh, I'm not like this yet.
09:42The Philippines team noticed him.
09:44I said, here he is.
09:46He wants to train in gymnastics.
09:48He hasn't trained yet.
09:50He already knows a lot of skills.
09:52He showed tumbling.
09:54The Secretary General was impressed.
09:56This is 11 years old.
09:58Here, he's already doing international lessons.
10:01He used to compete in championships.
10:04One of the people who were with Carlos
10:06when he was just starting to train
10:09was his elementary school teacher,
10:11Teacher Ezra.
10:13I'm very happy
10:15because he used what he learned.
10:17Because I saw how he started.
10:19His hard work in training,
10:22his sacrifices.
10:24He's just a small kid,
10:26but he's very good.
10:28Teacher Ezra was also with Carlos
10:31when he competed
10:33in his first gymnastics competition.
10:36It was in 2008.
10:38We were in Cagayan de Oro.
10:40There was an accident.
10:42Kaloy fell.
10:44The following day,
10:46he won four gold medals.
10:48His aim was to win.
10:50I told him, you're already good.
10:52He always said, I'm not good
10:54because there are more people who are better than me.
10:56He's so humble.
10:58His hands were bleeding.
11:00It's okay, ma'am.
11:02No pain, no gain.
11:04I did this before.
11:06That's the proof
11:08of how hard it was for him.
11:11It's all steel.
11:13There are traces of wounds.
11:16Please do that, Carlos,
11:18to the camera.
11:20He has a thick skin.
11:22But that's what brought us strength.
11:25Even though Carlos Yulo
11:27has already won
11:29in several international competitions,
11:31his first competition
11:33in the Olympics
11:34was in 2020
11:36in Tokyo.
11:38I've lost many times,
11:40but I'll do my best to win.
11:42Even though many people
11:44were counting on him,
11:46he was fortunate
11:48to win a medal.
11:50I was in the Olympics in Tokyo.
11:52It was really painful.
11:54He won 4th place.
11:56It was just a bronze medal.
11:58But according to Carlos,
12:00his success in the Tokyo Olympics
12:01motivated him
12:03to compete again
12:05in the Olympics
12:07in Paris this year.
12:09I'll give my all
12:11for the upcoming Olympics.
12:13His coaches also played a big role
12:15in his success.
12:17One of them
12:19is his occupational therapist,
12:21Coach Hazel.
12:23It is very worth it.
12:25I cried, actually,
12:27because it's not a joke
12:29what I went through.
12:31That's it.
12:33When he won gold,
12:35I broke down.
12:37I cried.
12:39And,
12:41I prayed.
12:48And his gymnastics coach,
12:50Coach Aldrin.
12:52We practice
12:54morning and afternoon
12:564 times a week.
12:58In the qualification,
12:59we have to be on guard
13:01because if we fall,
13:03he won't qualify.
13:05That's the best move.
13:10I'm so happy.
13:12We only have one plan,
13:14to win a medal.
13:16I got goosebumps
13:18when I heard
13:20how proud he was.
13:22We're doing this
13:24for our country.
13:26But one of the reasons
13:27is his Japanese coach,
13:29Munehiro Kugimiya.
13:31In 2016,
13:33Carlos went to Japan
13:35to start training there.
13:37I'm so blessed
13:39and grateful
13:41for how I can do gymnastics now.
13:43We both worked hard.
13:45He's the one who saw my potential.
13:47I'm so thankful for him.
13:49How do you feel, Carlos,
13:51that all kids nowadays
13:53want to do gymnastics?
13:55I'm so happy.
13:57Maybe it's time
13:59for them to try gymnastics.
14:01Go to the gym.
14:03We don't know.
14:05Maybe they'll be the next.
14:07It's Wednesday afternoon.
14:09They're getting ready
14:11for their parade.
14:13What can you say?
14:15We're both nervous
14:17because of Yulo.
14:20This is Yulo's float.
14:22They'll parade
14:24in Manila.
14:25Because Yulo grew up
14:27in Manila.
14:29But wait,
14:31I thought Carlos was already on the float.
14:33Why is he here?
14:38This is his look-alike
14:40that we met last week
14:42here at KMJS.
14:45This is his look-alike,
14:47Andre,
14:49a.k.a. Carlos Yolo.
14:51We want to thank
14:53all of you
14:55for your support.
14:58I still remember
15:00how long we've been waiting.
15:02And now,
15:04for the first time,
15:06not just one,
15:08but two gold medals
15:10were won
15:12by our gymnast,
15:14Carlos Yolo.
15:16Long live to the Filipino athletes!
15:20The streets of Manila
15:22are full of people
15:23who want to see
15:25our Filipino Olympians.
15:34But one of the most talked about
15:36in the parade
15:38when Carlos saw
15:40a familiar face
15:42on the sea of people,
15:45it was none other than
15:47his father, Andrew.
15:53YOLO! YOLO! YOLO!
15:55YOLO! YOLO! YOLO!
15:57YOLO! YOLO! YOLO!
15:59And Andrew,
16:01a.k.a. Benuha,
16:03was also there
16:05to greet Carlos.
16:12I feel like my ultimate dream
16:14is to gold medal in the Olympics
16:16when I was a kid.
16:19In a Facebook post,
16:21Carlos shared
16:23his gratitude to his father.
16:25I want to apologize to you.
16:28Even though the limelight
16:30of Carlos' personal problem
16:32and his family's
16:34after his victory
16:36I just want to clarify something.
16:38And even though
16:40the public's opinion
16:42on this matter
16:44is divided,
16:46the success and glory
16:48that a Carlos Yolo
16:50brought to our history
16:51is a joy.
16:53One of the reasons
16:55why the public
16:57is talking about the drama
16:59of the YOLOs
17:01is that it's important
17:03to separate the drama
17:05of the YOLO family
17:07and their victory.
17:09Of course,
17:11the Marites culture is popular
17:13that's why the public
17:15is celebrating the drama
17:17of the YOLOs.
17:19But what needs to be celebrated
17:21is the drama of the YOLOs.
17:23But I still need to ask you,
17:25where will you go after this?
17:27Of course,
17:29I will focus on my personal life.
17:31And of course,
17:33I will make another plan
17:35for another cycle of the Olympics.
17:37Of course,
17:39I will not stop here.
17:41I still have something
17:43that I want to achieve
17:45in the next cycle
17:47and I will focus on that.
17:49So in 2028,
17:51you will be a champion.
17:53Yes.
17:57Champion.
18:03Yay!
18:05This is not for politics.
18:07This is for sports.
18:09In many occasions,
18:11in many of our problems,
18:13we often ask ourselves,
18:15is it still fun
18:17to be a Filipino?
18:18In the victory of Carlos YOLO,
18:20it was easy to answer
18:22and to show off.
18:24Yes, I am Filipino.
18:26But when the medals
18:28and the cheers
18:30of the cheers
18:32of the cheers
18:34of the cheers
18:36of the cheers
18:38of the cheers
18:40of the cheers
18:42of the cheers
18:44of the cheers
18:46of the cheers
18:48of the cheers
18:50of the cheers
18:52of the cheers
18:54of the cheers
18:56of the cheers
18:58so when they are doing everything,
19:00they want to give honor
19:02to a country
19:04they know well.
19:06Long live
19:08the Filipinos!
19:18updates.
