Ah, the eternal triangle: mom, son, and girlfriend—the unsolvable equation. 

Enter Carlos Yulo, Olympic gold medalist, not just juggling flips and twists but also a mother and girlfriend vying for a gold in his heart. 

Enter Manny Pacquiao, who once boxed and now lectures on family dynamics. He chimes in with sage advice, reminding Yulo to respect his mom, who—wait—didn’t like Pacquiao’s own wife. That’s some expert-level mom drama there! And let’s not forget, Yulo’s mom herself chose a boyfriend 28 years her junior. 

It’s like a telenovela where everyone wants to be the leading lady or the referee. Perhaps the only lesson here is that Olympic gold doesn’t guarantee peace at home. Forget balance beams; Yulo’s real sport is walking the tightrope between love and family. 

Perfect worlds don’t exist—not in sports, not in families, and certainly not in Filipino homes.
