Dionisia Pacquiao, the mother of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, recently offered advice to two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo, urging him to “love his mother” amid reports of tension within his family.
Mommy Dionisia’s comments come in light of a publicized rift between Yulo and his mother, Angelica, following the gymnast’s historic win at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In response, Angelica and other family members held a press conference to apologize to Yulo. The situation has divided public opinion and prompted Mommy Dionisia, a mother who has also been in the spotlight, to weigh in.
“Love your mother. Don’t hold onto grudges. Your mother loves you dearly. Love her wholeheartedly as your mother because she loves you very much. That’s my advice to you as a fellow mother,” Dionisia said in a video shared by her partner, Mike Drilon Yamson, on Facebook.
Mommy Dionisia is well-known for her unwavering support of both her son, Manny, and his wife, Jinkee.
