Carlos Yulo’s father joins audience of PH Olympians heroes’ parade

Mark Andrew Yulo, the father of double Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, was among the thousands of people in attendance to witness the parade of the country's 2024 Paris Olympics athletes in Manila on Wednesday.

Mark Andrew was also seen carrying a banner with a 'Caloy, dito Papa mo!' while ecstatically jumping to cheer on his son, who helped deliver the country's best Olympic finish in 100 years.

The parade will culminate at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum in Manila where a program is being held.

Yulo arrived back in the country on Tuesday night and has been busy ever since, attending a courtesy call at the Malacañang Palace and even visiting his condominium unit in Taguig.

Other athletes who are also at the parade are bronze medal winners Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas as well as Elreen Ando, Carlo Paalam, Lauren Hoffman, and Jarod Hatch, among others.
