Asian Games Double-gold medalist Carlos Yulo said he has chosen not to let online criticisms affect him, stressing that he placed greater importance on his own judgment and the views of his family.
During an interview on GMA-7’s Unang Hirit on Monday, Yulo was asked about the criticisms he has received from his detractors, whom he referred to as “Losartan Warriors.”
“I don’t really care po kung ano’ng sabihin ng ibang tao. Importante kung ano ’yung opinyon sa sarili ko din, and ’yung family ko po right now, kung ano ’yung tama at mali,” Yulo said.
“Ako lang, ayoko lang siguro kapag sa iba nangyari po. Parang disrespectful din po kasi mga ginagawa nila. Wala naman akong problema sa kanilang lahat,” he said.
Yulo said he remains confident in his own understanding of his circumstances and does not allow outside opinions to define him.
“Hindi talaga ako nakikinig kasi hindi naman ’yun ako eh. Alam ko ’yung grounds ko, alam ko ’yung totoo. Mas kilala ko ’yung sarili ko kaysa sa ibang tao,” he added.
Yulo recently added two Asian Games gold medal at the 20th edition in Japan to his résumé after topping the men’s floor exercise and vault events. (Adrian Co)
