Carlos Yulo took to social media to thank his father. In his Facebook post, he wrote “Maraming salamat Pa, masaya ako nakita kita don nakasuporta! Pasensya na po hindi ako masyado nakakaway, ang daming nag pa autograph hehe 😅

Kitakits soon Pa Mark Andrew Yulo.”

This interaction between father and son showed mutual love and respect. Additionally, Mark’s support for his son touched many Filipinos.

typical Filipino family. inuuna ang “image” kesa sa mararamdaman ng sariling kapamilya.

no wonder na Caloy only recognizes his father. kasi ang tatay niya, hindi nahihiyang maging “fan” niya. nagpapaka-tatay talaga, hindi maraming kuda sa media. https://t.co/XtGr8lj6RQ
