Catalyst of love

As the nation enters the Yuletide season, former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson (middle) offers himself to be a catalyst of love and forgiveness between Olympic hero Carlos Yulo and his family in father Andrew (second from left), Angelica (third from left), Elaiza (second from right), and Eldrew (right). The Yulos have been at odds since last year. But their rift further widened when Carlos won two gold medals in the Paris Olympics. Singson said no amount of success should overshadow one’s love and respect for his family. He said forgiveness, understanding and compassion should always prevail among members of Filipino families. And with the most wonderful time of the year fast approaching, Singson stressed that the Filipinos are praying for the Yulos to hand them a gift that’s more precious than gold – the gift of unity in the family. Recently, Singson gave the Yulos a pre-Yuletide present of P1 million when the former visited the latter in his home.
