Dionesia Pacquiao, the mother of boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao, has extended heartfelt advice to two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo amidst his recent family turmoil.
Carlos Yulo has been in the spotlight due to claims that his parents accessed his bank accounts without his consent. This controversy led Yulo to distance himself from his family and live with his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose. The matter has stirred significant public and media attention.
In a video message, Dionesia Pacquiao encouraged Carlos to mend his relationship with his mother, Angelica Yulo.
“Dong Carlos Yulo… mahalin mo ang nanay mo, wag kang magtanim [o] magkimkim ng sama ng loob,” Dionesia advised. She emphasized, “Mahal na mahal ka ng mama mo. Mahalin mo siya ng lubusan,” underscoring the depth of a mother’s love and the importance of reconciliation.
Dionesia’s counsel is particularly meaningful given her own familial experiences. Manny Pacquiao, her son, has previously spoken about challenges in his relationship with his wife, Jinkee, due to initial disapproval from Dionesia. Despite these hurdles, Manny worked hard to bridge the gap, eventually achieving reconciliation between his mother and wife.
Dionesia’s message to Carlos Yulo highlights the value of forgiveness and family unity, urging him to address his issues with his mother and recognize the unconditional love she has for him.
