Two-time Olympic gold medalist Carlos Yulo has joined the reserve force of the Philippine Navy as Petty Officer 1st Class. On Tuesday, Oct. 1, the naval force welcomed Yulo, who took his oath at its headquarters. MGen. Joseph Ferrous Cuison PN(M), Commander of the Naval Reserve Command, fellow Navy officers, and Cynthia Carrion, president of the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines, were present at the ceremony. Yulo is the latest Pinoy Olympian to join the armed forces, following Tokyo Games gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz and bronze medalist Eumir Marcial, who joined the Air Force in 2013 as well as two-time medalist Nesthy Petecio and weightlifter Elreen Ando, who enlisted in the Coast Guard in 2021. Yulo is the second Filipino athlete to ever win a gold medal for the country at the Olympics.​
