#OneNETnewsInvestigates: Manila Artistic Gymnast Mother of 'Carlos Yulo' allegedly criticizes new Pinay-Australian girlfriend caught in the crossfire of Family Drama, while online netizens battered Impersonation and other Cyber-Criminal Case [EXCLUSIVE]

(Written by Miko Kubota / K5 Tele-Serbisyo Patrol #4 news reporter of OneNETnews & Station Manager and President of OneNETnews)

BACOLOD, NEGROS OCCIDENTAL -- Artistic gymnastic's mother of "Mr. Carlos Edriel Yulo" became an absolute international dumpster fire of disaster in the olympic sport at Paris Olympics 2024. Early in the first week of August 2024, an alleged cyber impersonator and identity theft victim named Ms. Angelica Poquiz Yulo brazenly bombarded with Filipino trolls, dummy fake accounts, and massive hate speech with criticism on social media.

Before, Mr. Yulo won twice of the Gold Medals at the Men's Floor Exercise and Vault finals back-to-back with a perfect score of 15 in floor exercise, and wrapping up with a vault score of 15.166. But, disaster strikes in his personal life, meeting with a 22 y/o Pinay-Australian blonde girlfriend from Melbourne named 'Ms. Chloe Anjeleigh San Jose', who is a part-time fashion enthusiast at 'Fashion Nova', then collaborated as a sports fan online that later becomes a full-fledged couple since 2019, and her sexiest intimate Filipino model was turned into a strained relationship, giving a bit fat disapproval from his mother of Mr. Yulo.

In an exclusive radio interview with DWSM-FM 102.9mhz's Star FM: Manila (under national flagship FM station of Bombo Radyo), Ms. Angelica stated that the rift began when Chloe appeared to be distancing and parting ways from his family of Mr. Yulo. Their cash incentive may possibly to be filling in with his girlfriend, and is worth spending to its expenses worth PHP11M in full from Banco de Oro (BDO). Things got a scandalous turn, leading Mr. Yulo's mom ended up poverty of death and her parental abuse of their family siblings that gives up too much.

Our investigative news team of OneNETnews, along with our Station Manager and President of OneNETtv Channel and K5 Tele-Serbisyo Patrol #4 news reporter 'Miko Kubota' have found out the bad parenting of Yulo's family siblings getting less attention to happen, as according to her social media posts as references in the Q4 2023, which yet to be deleted or not.

Last Thursday on August 1st, 2024; Angelica has taken over on her shared impersonation post on Facebook (part of Meta Platforms Inc.) claimed that the all-around exercise in artistic gymnastics won by a Japanese gymnast named Shinnosuke Oka, instead of Mr. Carlos Yulo: "Japan pa din talaga… Lakas!", she said.

Feelings of harassment, family feud, and online bullying attacks as trolls on social media are in bland to stir as a technical embarassment. We do know that she does not have a paid subscription of Meta Verified or X Network Premium (part of MPi and X Corporation). As a result, the farmed trolls and dummy accounts are at fault to attack on social media by simply framing and targeting victim's perpetrator on her: "I did NOT steal or waste Mr. Yulo's money to live a lavish life that you chose the girl (Chloe) to stay over, rather than your own brother (Karl Jahrel Eldrew Yulo) and your teammate", Angelica noted.

There is one hard-hitting local Hiligaynon radio commentator, human resource manager and well-respected radio anchor of 11MBPS (Mga Balita kag Public Service) at DYQU-FM 103.9mhz's K5 News FM: Bacolod named Mr. Jean Paul Cañete Generoso in Negros Occidental expresses his outrage and concern over the unauthorized use of Ms. Angelica Yulo's name and image on Facebook. Generoso, undeterred by the potential backlash from online netizen of haters, stood his ground in defense for Mr. Yulo, vehemently denying any malicious intent on her part.

The management of K5 News FM in Bacolod City sparks accusations from the regional media of Western Visayas: "Indi ka lang pwede mag libot-libot gamit ang ngalan kag imahe sang isa ka tawo pareho sina! Isa ini ka pagsalakay sang pagkapribado, patag kag simple. Kag ang mas malain pa, ining ginatawag nga 'fan' wala nagatahod sa iloy ni Mr. Carlos Yulo nga si "Angelica Yulo", isa ka iloy sang duha ka gold medalists sa 2024 Paris Olympics! Niya ang imo ginahimo subong will definitely kind what mother you are. What kind of (hellish) mother you are. Especially na may kwarta involved na, diri na maipakita kon ano ka klase iloy. Talamak sa kwarta, mukang pera ka, supportive ka o ano ka? Pero nahibaluan mo kon ano, dapat ka magpalayo sa mga kontrobersiya pareho sini. Magkonsentrar sa imo kadalag-an, sa baylo nga magbaisay sa imo problema sa isyu", Generoso said during Facebook LIVE video in Hiligaynon dialect.

Angelica's lawyer named 'Atty. Raymond Parsifal Alfaro Fortun' spoke in a separate note with One Sports: "All statements made attributed to (Ms. Angelica) and/or any of her children (as siblings) that are critical of, disparaging or tend to tarnish the accomplisments of her son (Carlos Edriel Yulo) are untrue and fake. She will be seeking the help of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in identifying these individuals, and will be filing the appropriate charges against them for violation of Republic Act #10175 or Anti-Cybercrime Law. It is advisable that the public DELETE their comments to avoid prosecution", Atty. Fortun concluded.

The situation remains under investigation by local authorities including Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), Philippine National Police - Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) and the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), who are working as a group to identify and prosecute the individual responsible for the fake Facebook account.

On Tuesday afternoon (August 6th, 2024 -- France local time), per recently uploaded from his newly uploaded TikTok video (owned by ByteDance)… Carlos Yulo and Chloe San Jose breaks their silence and speaks out exclusively in an online media release to OneNETnews that his mother (Angelica) needs to be healed, and is hard to move on with its family-related issues. He brought up the matter concerning his mother's behavior, indicating that she has been unwilling to embrace her responsibilities as a full-time parent, both prior to and throughout his journey to the Paris Olympics. The gymnast conveyed his wish for privacy and urged the public to concentrate on his accomplishments instead of his personal and romantic sex life as an individual olympic athlete.

The following day, in a press conference Wednesday (August 7th, 2024) that shocks national and international headlines. Carlos Yulo's mother (Angelica) apologized to her son and said, this was the last time she would address their family issues publicly to the mainstream and online media: "Forgive me, my child. I understand if others think I'm only speaking out now because of your success and prosperity. I’m speaking to put this issue to rest. If my criticism of what you did was wrong, I ask for your forgiveness because I'm just a mother who worries. You are old enough to make decisions for yourself. Our home is open to you, whether you have money or not. The door is open if you choose to come back to us", Angelica said in Tagalog dialect.

OneNETnews understands that she is eligible to come home before getting married to Chloe, the legal way possible, yet declaring a Filipino citizenship by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Australian Embassy of Manila (AEM). His career of artistic gymnastic sport may last until 2028 in Los Angeles, California, United States of America (U.S.A.). He is yet scheduled to be married in a few or several weeks time, immediately during or after the closing ceremony of Paris Olympics 2024, and following after his homecoming parade in Malate, Manila, National Captial Region.

Filipino rock band 'Moonstar88', hailing locally from Manila will endorse on him with artistic gymnast of Mr. Yulo, and performing free wedding performance once arrived back from France to our home country, the Philippines. Admission of tickets have yet to be determined as of this writing. The Manileño artistic gymnast is set to come home to a hero's welcome in the Philippines, sometime in the mid-week of August 2024.

DCxDP Fic Idea: Online Siren

Danny makes a mistake. Or maybe he struck gold. Depending on the perspective you were looking through.

It starts one night when Sam, Tucker, Danny, and Jazz get together for a private party on Tucker's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Foley had let them have the whole house to themselves on the agreement that it would only be the four of them. They would be keeping an eye on the security camera and motion detectors around the property. At the slightest hints of Tucker having a house party, the pair would return from Mr. Foley's sister's house to shut it down.

The group of teenagers were more than happy not to invite anyone. It's not like anyone would show- at least not with good intentions. They had an entire night plan- coffee drinks based on their types, video games, boardgames ones, painting hour, karaoke, movies, and cake after presents.

They all pitched in for pizza, and Sam offered to buy everyone breakfast in the morning. The party started at four and would end at ten the following morning. The boys would sleep in Tucker's room while Sam and Jazz crashed in the guest room together.

Danny hadn't had that much fun in such a long time that he didn't even shy away from Sam's video camera while singing. The youngest Fenton has always had a fantastic singing voice, but his stage fright has stopped him from showing off his skill in front of anyone who was not close friends or family.

The following morning, while eating at Tucker's favorite breakfast restaurant, Sam checked her phone after noticing all the buzzing. Danny could catch her face turning pastly white at whatever was on her screen. She taps aggressively, nearly frantically, which gains the attention of Tucker and Jazz.

"Sam? Everything good?" Jazz asks gentely.

"I..no..I'm sorry, Danny," She whispers after staring hopelessly at her screen. "I meant to save it in our private share, not...the anonymous one."

"What?"

"I...post poetry anonymously on this voice website. It's audio recordings only." She explains, placing the phone on the table. Her voice is hesitant. "Last night....I accidentally posted the video of you singing from the Karaoke machine I saved. The one from the Realms. And some of my followers saved it and shared it. It's trending."

Danny feels his stomach drop into his legs. "What?"

"No one knows who you are!" Sam blurts as Tucker quickly pulls out his own phone. A few seconds later, Danny's voice blares out of his speaker, the melody blending well with his singing. The Karaoke has a recording option that deletes background noise, making it far more professional than four teenagers dancing around the Foley's coffee table.

"Dude, this sounds amazing," Tucker says after a moment. "I can't believe I finally have a recording of your singing. Just look at these comments!"

The song is an open domain in the Infinite Realms, telling the tell of the first King's fall. It's rather popular for its revolutionary themes and near musical lyrics that blended with the rapid flute melody, so finding a ghost willing to share a Karaoke version took nearly no effort. People online think Danny was the songwriter.

The song on Sam's page had ninty-thousand listens, with just as many downloads- each download places ten cents in her account. So far, Danny's singing has made nine thousand dollars. It's only been twelve hours!

It got so much traction because Damian Wayne had made an edit with a popular anime and posted it on his personal account. His small usage had exploded Danny's song in only a few hours.

"Take it down!" Danny hisses, slapping a hand over Tucker's screen and glancing at nearby tables. "Sam, please take your post down."

"I did! I swear! But it's too late to stop it from spreading on the WorldClip." She tells him, and Danny's heart feels like it will explode until Jazz gently speaks up.

"Sam, can Danny have those nine grand?"

His best friend blinks momently, thrown by the question before she nods, "Of course! It's his money."

"Hmm." Jazz taps her fingers under her chin before turning Danny's face towards her. It's not until her gentle pats on his back that he realizes he is hyperventilating. "You should post more on that anonymous website. Sam can write the songs, Tucker can make the music, and you can sing."

"What!?" He choked, shocked she would even ask him. Tucker and Sam are eyeing them with wide eyes, frozen in their seats. No one knew where the fear had come from, but the two knew how badly Danny reacted to the idea of performing.

Tucker first met Danny when the boy panicked in the music room. After it was announced, the students would be singing Twinkle Little Star in the first grade. It was the first time Tucker had ever called nine-one-one, too.

He was praised as a hero, while Danny was scolded for overreacting. Tucker had held his hand until the sobbing boy's parents came to pick him up and has never left his side since.

"Danny, this fear has always left you in shambles. I think it would help you. This could be a form of exposal therapy," She says, then shrugs her shoulder. "Think about it. No one will know who you are, but your music could reach thousands without you ever having to show your face. You could pay for the college you wanted to go to in Gotham this way. All of you."

Neither Danny's nor Tucker's parents could afford to send them to Gotham University despite it being their dream school. Sam's parents refused to pay for a "useless" degree such as Botany. They had been growing uneasy with the realization dreams were not always promised as the end of the senior year approached in only a few short months.

They would never ask it of him, but Danny could see the genuine hope tucked in their eyes as they waited for his response. He licked his lips, feeling his heart still beating a mile a minute under his rib cage.

He didn't like being this paralyzed by an irrational fear. He also really wanted to help them reach their dreams.

So Danny opens his mouth and whispers, "Only until we can get to Gotham to find jobs"

Jazz's smile is bright.

A few months later, Damian practically runs Tim over in his rush to connect to the game room's surround system. Jon is hot on his heels and has the decency to shout an apology as the pre-teens rush by.

"Hey! Watch it!" He still screams at their backs, irritated. "I could've dropped my croissant!"

"Sorry again Tim!"

"You're fat anyway, Drake!"

Tim rolls his eyes, adjusting his hold on his plate as Dick rounds the corner that the children had appeared from. "What's got them rushing?"

"Online Siren just dropped a new song." Dick laughs. "Dami is a bit of a fan."

"Online Siren?"

"That's right, you were in space for five months. Online Siren is this anonymous singer that everyone is going crazy over on the internet. He's an amazing singer, but because no one knows anything about him. Not even Babs."

Tim raises a brow. "He could be using autotune."

"Maybe, but Tim, I'm telling you. Listen to his music, and you'll find you can't stop. Siren is a fitting name."

"He can't be that good," Tim mutters, following his eldest brother into the game room, where Damian and Jon have blared the speakers to the loudest setting and dancing around.

Tim draws up short at the sight of Damian Wayne actually crying as he sings along to the lyrics, acting as if the singer was right there in front of him and he was a long-time fan.

Then, the music invades his ears, and Tim feels like he is ascending on a different plane. The smooth, near silk-like voice glinds into his chest, rattling his bones, and his knees shake when the man holds a soft, seductive "Oh" for a few seconds longer then necessary.

It sends shivers down his spine.

"What is this!? It's so good!" He screams at the dancing Dick, who laughs.

"I know, right!?"

"It's too good. I think this is a real siren." Tim continues, pressing his hands over his ears. His mind flashes back to the few months he spent with his team, running for a mind-controlling alien that had nearly trapped them in the third space sector. "Dick, we're in danger! Get around from the speakers! Mind control!"

Dick stops dancing with a sigh, muttering under his breath as Tim rushes to the control panel of the speaker system. As soon as he slams it off, Damian releases a screech of an angered cat and launches at him, demanding his music back. Jon flouts nervously on the side as the two youngest Waynes brothers roll on the ground, yelling insults and taking dirty shots.

"I wish I could enjoy things with my siblings without them ruining it." He mumbles, striding forward to break up the fight, only to scream when Tim pulls out pepper spray, yowling like a madman.

"Mind control! Mind control!"

"My EYES! "

"Drake, stop!"

"You'll never get me Siren! Never!"

".I'm going to go get Mr.Wayne!"

"Make haste, Jon! Bring my father to stop this baffoon-my eyes! Drake, you bastard!"

I feel like if you're using a lot of disposable plastic bags in your day to day life, you've gotta do something sustainable to make up for it. Like using bamboo toilet paper or eco friendly cat litter or something, yknow

Honestly I exaggerate for comedic effect, while I DO routinely use ziplock bags to hold spaghetti I cook maybe once a month and the bag itself is usually for freezer storage. I actually throw out maybe one bag a week? I DO hate washing plates and tupperware and junk but that usually just means I eat sandwiches without a plate.

I agree though that needless waste should be avoided, and I do avoid it- biodegradable bags and recyclables, empty butter tubs used to store leftovers, etc.

This said, though, not applicable necessarily for myself but for a lot of others- I feel that it's importat to remember that there are many people who legitimately NEED things like plastic straws, or catheters, or pre-packaged foods

And the idea that that's a moral failing that individuals need to personally make up for when a single billionaire blows out more CO2 in a long weekend than I will in my whole life on a superjet meet-cute in the Bolivian rainforest between humvee drag races funded by the river-polluting textiles plants they planted in a third world country to avoid EPA laws and give an entire village stillbirths and stomach cancer is an idea that those very same bigwigs have spent a LOT of time and money investing in planting in the public psyche.

Like- Glass bottles are infinitely recyclable, so why are so many drinks in plastic now? Loads of drinks manufacturers used to buy them back and clean them for re-use, so why did they stop? If they chose to make something out of a limited and environmentally irresponsible material, why is it my failing to track down a correct process of disposal for them? What if there are none in my area? Do I lobby for more recycling plants in my area? Do I set aside some of my limited time outside the pain factory of my job- which I have more than one of, thanks to rising costs of things just like that drink I just emptied- to properly dispose of this company's waste FOR them?

Say coca-cola just rolled up to your town and started dumping millions of empty plastic bottles in the street, going, "wow, you should really think about building and staffing a recycling depot, it would be really shameful of you to just put these in the trash." When companies purposefully use materials with limited lifespans- because yes, even plastic can only be reused so many times- and tell you it's your own fault if it harms the environment- that's essentially what they're doing, just with more steps.

Yes, its important to be as environmentally concious as we can in our day to day life, but responsible sustainability is not catholicism. We don't get good boy points from our lord and savior Captain Planet every time the average low-income household gathers together to hold hands and repent for a single-use plastic that allows them to access something they need.

Entire families could eat trees and shit dead lithium batteries for years and still not do as much damage to the planet as an average dye plant or braindead celebrity does in a week just for fun, and I'm mad about it

...this went on longer than intended.

TL/DR: DO recycle and minimize waste, but don't beat yourself up over the little waste you can't avoid, and follow the money.

EDIT: Part 2

it's always "omg why are young men behind pushed to the far right this is the left's fault for being too academic and snobbish with language" and never "omg young girls are constantly mocked and bullied throughout their teenage years for defending social causes and still never try to start a terrorist cell group"

[dreamytfw]

Can we please not fucking do the bullshit "if you still like [insert media here] after this news, you're a HORRIBLE person who hates victims and wants rapists to thrive" thing?

I'm a victim of several different types of abuse. I use stories to escape my trauma. Do not DARE tell me that something I got emotionally invested in BEFORE learning about the horrific things the creator did means I'm an awful person. You know who says shit like that? Abusive people. You know how I know that? Because that's one of the control tactics my abuser used against me.

Fuck all of you who are using this to play fandom police and feel morally superior to people who are struggling to come to terms with something horrific right now.

[i-lavabean]

Oh friends this isn't my normal kind of post, but a lot of us are hurting or afraid right now.

There's been plenty of posts that have said it better but dear ones, lean into your community. Cultivate relationships with your neighbors, your local librarians, your churches and charitable organizations that help provide for others.

The hardest thing to do for a lot of us will be to leave the "us vs them" mentality the social media age has helped cultivate and see people as just that. People.

People with good ideas, people with bad ideas, but people who need community and who can change. Not all of us have the time or means to donate or volunteer, believe me I know. But dear ones, take the time to check on others and let yourself be taken care of too.

Communities are stronger together, and we all need that right now regardless of location.

Hold on dear ones, we get through this together.

Also during the precious temporary ceasefire the IOF didnt actually stop killing people so

Exactly!! People were celebrating that first call for a ceasefire… and then reports kept coming out about Israeli terrorists abducting and killing people, just at a lower volume (which, compared to the absolutely atrocious scale they’re operating on now, does not mean much). Even when there’s a ruling in place it’s not even enforceable

blitz was selfish af for not letting millie carry out the job just bc it reminded him of his imaginary family with stolas. it’s fucking sinsmas let her get paid.

OMG I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THE ATHF REFERENCE IN THE BEGINNING OF PARTY.MOV??

[goldkirk]

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.

The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.

Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.

If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?

Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.

[fullmetal-scar-simping]

Is there anything more weak than the attempt to shut down all media analysis and critique by appealing to a "everything is valid and different! Stop making it a pissing match," point of view? Either the stories are "too different" to compare and contrast, or they're "ultimately all fma so why should we fight". Maybe some people can't get it through their heads, but disagreement, venting amongst those who feel similarly, and critique are not inherently a fight.

And I'm sorry, but "breaking the cycle of violence" is a shit trope to tack onto a plot that uses a genocide and ethnic cleansing as its foundation, with heaping layers of "those poor little war criminals, stop being mean to them" to add insult to bad storytelling.
