Karl Eldrew Yulo’s Mother Criticized After Accepting Car Gift Despite Not Allowing Son From Buying a Laptop With His Own Money

Angelica Poquiz Yulo is once again under fire online after proudly sharing that her son, Karl Eldrew Yulo, gifted her and his father a new car.

Earlier this year, she went viral for a Facebook exchange where she told her son not to buy himself a new laptop, saying he should save money and avoid unnecessary spending. The resurfaced screenshots show Karl asking permission to purchase a laptop, only to be told “Wag gastos ng gastos, magtipid.”

Now, the public is calling her out for happily accepting an expensive car gift from the same son she once lectured about being frugal. Critics say the situation feels hypocritical, especially since she previously emphasized the importance of saving.

Despite the backlash, Angelica shared her gratitude online, thanking her son for the “big and kind” gesture. The post has since sparked renewed debate over parental expectations and how some Filipino families handle money and gratitude.
