    Small or big amount, if she didn't tell Carlos or asked permission to withdraw, it's still stealing. Even if you're family, if it's not yours, you have no right. Carlos only found out when he asked for a bank statement. He found out thru the bank, not from the mother herself. When caught, she cried to social media? Wtf is that. No matter how much money Carlos have, they betrayed him already by going behind his back, trust is already broken. People defending the mother are enablers and thinks the same. I bet they wouldn't think twice to do the same & steal if given chance. 🙄

      That's the reason why she is such a failure; she didn't know her son. And the reason why Carlos is a failure too because he brought their family problem into social media. Both failed.

    then there's this thing where as chloe was just helping to do the "bumukod sa pamilya" thing to carlos yulo... she only did that coz she just realized that from the very beginning of carlos yulo's gymnastics journey till the time she and carlos started chatting on messenger until tokyo Olympics, carlos haven't even used half of his winnings and incentives on things that he needed or wanted.... most of the time only his family are using it more than him...
    she's just concerned on carlos that he can't even go to any Disneyland, enjoy some gadgets, pc's, laptop, go to cinemas and etc. coz most of his money is always being used by his family🤦🤦🤦...... many of the bashers and haters doesn't realized that coz they don't know what it feels like that.... as in the biggest earner won't have any money left at the end of the day🤦🤦🤦... they only care to the toxic culture: "it's ok to be leeched out till you dry/run out of money"🤦🤦🤦

Our relatives from other state of the USA, Hong Kong have arrived in the Philippines during their mourning weeks. We still missed them no matter we don't see them..

    I grew up in the province of the Philippines then moved to the US after marrying an American. I got into the field of mental health for work.

    I was raised by a single dad and he never asked for anything from us BUT he appreciates if we give anything. That's the difference.

    It's just how we have been as a people. It's a cycle where you took care of your parents the way they took care of theirs. You would expect them to take care of you. That's why westerners find our culture odd, very family oriented. Contrasting this to westerners where you leave your parents at 18, consume, pay tax, work-sleep for 45 years then die alone. This is the inspiration for the movie the matrix. Because your children became just like you. The corporations and the government benefits from this. This may explain why the Philippines is financially poor, but contented. Money doesn't make sense around the deathbed, loved ones do.

    SO TRUE. You are so right about that issue BUT you forgot to mention the ISSUE of INGIT.
    It is apparent that the main issue here is Carlos mother Angelica. It is obvious that she felt neglected that Carlos found a girlfriend. Angelica was the one who opened a can of worms thinking that by doing so will gain sympathy for her. She did gain sympathy but to what extent?
    She practically gave the Yulo family and the Philippines a black eye in the world stage. She was using the social media to gain sympathy and it is sad the majority of the Filipino people still cling to the notion that children should love and honor the parents whether the parent is is worthy or not.
    Angelica tried to portray herself as a loving and suffering mother who said that she lost countless nights of sleep because she is always looking to the needs of the family. But, she was caught lying when reporters was their house during the Olympics when the reporter asked the husband where Angelica was during the live broadcast of Carlos’es performance. The husband said that Angelica is sleeping upstairs.
    Also, she was complaining that Chloe’s post on vlogs wearing sexy attires while she was posting revealing posts of herself on social media.

    I completely agree. I grew up with an abusive mother but fortunately with a loving father. Growing up I thought of why did my mother give birth to me when If I had been given a chance I would rather not be brought into this world and experience such mysery of being emotionally abused. Now that I am an adult and working, I have the chance to leave my family (since my father already passed) and live somewhere far from them. But I still choose to go back and give back to my mom, not as a responsibilty but as a gift. I do not have any emotional connection with her but maybe because the Filipino culture in me, I feel like I want to somehow give back. Because of my childhood trauma, I do not have the urge to give birth to a baby, I have a lot worries of not being a good mother myself. I believe that it is the parents" responsibility to raise their children because the children were not the ones who begged to born in this world. When children reached adulthood only then they should be let go on their own. It is up to the children whether they want to give back, it will speak a lot about their character and how they were raised for sure.

    There are two sides of the story , I agree . If a child have supported the family for a long time , he or she has the right to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH and start preparing for his own life while he is still young and able to earn for himself . It is never wrong to stand up for yourself . If you dont , who will take care of you when you grow old ? Your parebts will die .Your siblings will have their own families . What if you have not saved for yourself . I am the eldest among 11 siblings and have experienced same unfortunate fate . I should have done better for myself and perhaps the community if not for this Filipino "toxic" tradition .

    Im a filipino and also the "tagasalo sa pamilya" honestly the treatment my parents gave to me and to my siblings is very unfair. And its very frustrating and toxic. Im not the oldest , im actually the 3rd child of 4. i have a family of my own now but i still support my youngest sibling to send him to college. our oldest is jobless and keeps borrowing money from me without returning it so everything she borrow money again, its either i gave her small amount because i know she wont pay it back or i just ignore her messages cos im tired of her drama. Our 2nd sibling has a job but still broke and ask money to my parents who are also jobless( so dont get why shes still working but at the same time broke, she has actually tons of debt). And our last sibling is still in college which i am the supporting him.. so literaly all of them rely on my money. So with that im so disconnected to my family because i felt like im only an atm to them..

    As a Filipino,Half Japanese, I see that in my Parent. They believe that my oldest sister , and older brother will make them rich. So they paid for a good private school, while Me in public school, and my brother. many years past my brother sister always depend on my parents ,while I help my parents, and my brother too!. who never being given the same things in life... In my mother dying moments she asked me "why your oldest brother ,and sister don't come to me". I just said you don't know them after all those years. She said " I'm sorry ".... In the family there are people with good heart, and no empathy with their parents or siblings. so it's easy to understand. We are Catholic, and we honor our parents even they done wrong to you. We try to forgive our brother, and sister. Because they come from private school with rich family friends, and don't understand poor people. Working hard in life to have a good paying job that's the goal of poor people.

    You are definitely right. It is a matter of cultural differences between American and Filipinos. But I would also like to add that every family in the Philippines is different. I do not have the statistics, but at least in my family, particularly with my mom, she never obligated us siblings to take care of them when they grew old. Her principle is to give us all the tools we need to thrive in this world (including and most especially, a college degree). To her, it was more than enough to see us grow, thrive and become successful in the path we chose. In parallel to this, she tried to save up for retirement, putting investment here and there, and never really rely on us siblings financially. Of course, life is not always a straight path and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And when we saw our parents, well at this point, my dad, struggle in old age, my brothers and I chipped in to help. But that is on top of his pension, not the primary source of finance. But that 's just us. Some families are different.

  • @ricara2830
    @ricara2830 Месяц назад +5

    it depends on the situation, if you dont tell them that you suffered because of being a breadwinner then they will not know. some parents will understand but some dont. After telling them, you should be able to tell as well that you will limit sending money since you work hard for it and your other siblings are also capable of working. Then the burden will be light. But there is always this giving to the parents that the children always have and most of us but not to the extent that we deprive ourselves. Filipinos are always be thankful to the parents who raise them and give love. That is why we also give back. That is our culture.

  • @himaong7267

    some of the culture here in the Philippines is that in one family most of the time there's 1or 2 of the siblings in the family going work but the other siblings like the total of siblings is 5... only 1 or 2 goes to work the rest are just there at the house doing NEET/ sometimes got unwanted pr3gn@ncy(female sibling) b4 finishing highschool 🤦🤦🤦... then there's the parents where as one like either father or mother has a job but not that very big and there's s wife/hubby doesn't have any job... just stays at the house and just waste the money on things... wife= wasting on bags, accessories, appliances that ain't needed and always going out bringing friends to either mall or restaurant... on husband= just stays at house... sometimes on the day goes to sari-sari store buys beer/alak... then drinks it all the way... sometimes they do it at night and sometimes do it from morning till night...
    then there's other things toxic in the Philippines where-as there's only 1 family member who only earns plenty money like carlos yulo's winnings and incentives on gymnastics... all of the family members doesn't do any jobs or the adults fam members have a job but not earning enough, all of them just goes to the biggest earner and use the money... most of the times they don't work with enough earnings... they leech the earnings of the biggest earner😅🤦😅🤦....
    and they don't even take care grandparents like it stays on one fam relatives for 4 months then they move it to another family relatives🤦🤦🤦... they just put the grandparents stay at the fam that has a fam member who only earns bigger...
    at the end of the day... that fam member that earns bigger won't have enough for himself/herself coz the other fam members just kept on leeching on his/her hard earned money 🤦🤦🤦

They both have discipline and good spending/savings habits. I implored them both to not allow themselves to be taken advantage of as the saviour. Well I can tell you that I was perceived as the bad guy with the other 2. 🤭 Well so be it. No way I was allowing my gf to divest her savings to support irresponsible and lazy behaviours. It wasn’t happening. Even the parents are onboard now with this mindset and also saving. This being a saviour is not really helping the others at all in the long term.

    I'm not saying there are no Pilipino patents who came out prepared after retirement. Many did but most of them had good family backing them up. But common scenario for ordinary working Juan dela Cruz only earns175 to 500 usd per month. And yes most parents are still in their 40s by the time children can work but remember many of these parents came from a poverty stricken background that they were not able to have a good physical health. So after 20+ plus year of bringing up their children for life, majority of them have exhausted their healthy youth and many of them are battered with health issues and lifetime illnesses. And many of us working class don't have health insurance in place before and after retirement. So health care is not part of our expenditure.

    it is just basic human nature and give and take. The parents take care of their children growing up, prepare them for the world and the children should take care of their parents if they are already old, retired, ill and let them have a peaceful day of what little time left they have. also when the children have their own family it is more hard for them to give to their parents as they have their own family to think about.
    neither the parents nor the children should leech off whoever is working hard and really well. The concept was good but can easily be abused, everyone in the family will work together to uplift everyone, not pull everyone.

      Here in my neck of the woods (Europe) we all know that raising kids cost money, time & effort. Now, if I want to make my kids responsible for supporting me when I am old bec I have suffered when my kids were young then all I can say and think: dont start making kids. It sounds to me like emotional blackmail (also known as utang na loob). And it also goes against Maslow's pyramid (hierarchy of needs). Pair that together with the mano. Can you imagine being a kid being raised and live your entire life in poverty? And then have to the mano every day, while that kid couldnt change anything about living in poverty but the parents COULD easily (by not putting that kid in this world)?

      @@haighton the problem with the other filipino parents is that when their kids is able to work sometimes they stop working and leech off the kid even if they are still strong and able.
      what I'm saying is as parents you do your duty because you love your kids, you don't want them to experience the hardships you have experienced. so don't be the weight to hold your children down to achieve greater success.
      when you are old and retired, 70 - 90 years old, you don't force your children to take care of you but you wish they did and if you have raised them right to have compassion and love they will do it because they love you.
      Then what? cry on the coffin, filled with regrets you wish you could have spent more time with your parents or something, wish you could have done more. its too late for regret to express your love to your love ones if the person is dead.

    I think there are 2 kinds of parents not just in Philippines but in whole Asia. Although I think the news about the yulo parents being toxic is not true because i saw some of the old videos of caloy with parents when he was not with Chloe yet and also I think if the parents are toxic it will show from the siblings of caloy but I see the whole dynamic of the family with the extended ones is but a normal family life where parents are imperfect but loving…i think it’s up to the children if they want to be independent like Carlos and Chloe but what is not good is to mock your parents just because you think they deserve it I think if they think their parents are toxic as a child who is already mature and do not want to be like their parents they should start their life right not by shaming their parents or hurting them…for how do u make things right with another wrong?

    Karma is a very strong word in our Filipino culture, if you do not take care of your parents, your children will not take care of you, that is Biblical as well. Taking care of your siblings is not embedded in our culture however some of them will live with our parents and our parents will not push the other kids out of their house when they come stay in our parents house. If you the bread winner will say something, the siblings then will pool together and say something to destroy you against your parents. Your parents will also say something to make you guilty instead of pushing their other kids to get out of their house because then your family will be the talk of the whole community.

      I truly understand there are deep cultural practices and beliefs about these things in Filipino culture, and there's a lot that I deeply admire about Filipino families. However, there are some things that I see create a lot of pain, stress, heartache, and anxiety for many Filipinos who have an overwhelming weight on their shoulders especially when it comes to being a breadwinner or the level of responsibility to parents or younger siblings. I don't think I'd bring what's biblical into this because its clearly not biblical to have one person in the family who is able to work not working (e.g. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 "Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “Those unwilling to work will not get to eat.” Yet we hear that some of you are living idle lives, refusing to work and meddling in other people's business."). There's also nothing in the Bible that says that adult children should be financially paying their parents bills, though of course they should support them if they have the ability too and their parents can't support themselves.
