Pasensya na pa hindi ako masyado nakakaway, ang daming nag pa authograph hehe. Kitakits soon Pa,&quot; Carlos wrote.</p><p>Mark Andrew was spotted on the official livestream, as he was lifted by his companions, along with the banner &quot;Caloy, dito tatay mo!&quot; (Caloy, your father is here!)</p><p>The Yulo patriarch could be seen all smiles, waving his hands while his son passed by his area.

Andun lang opisina nila. Kaya talagang nung nalaman siguro nila na doon ang daan ng sasakyan ni Caloy, sila na ang naghanda. Pinaghandaan nila, naglagay pa ng Caloy andito papa mo! Nabasa ko ang laki-laki,&quot; she shared.</p><p>(Even if he [Mark Andrew] did not attend [the parade], it will really pass through their office. Their office is just there [along Roxas Boulevard.] Maybe that&#x27;s why when they found out the float with Caloy will pass there, they started preparing. They prepared, they even put a banner that said Caloy, your dad is here! I read it since it was so big.)</p><p>Angelita believes Caloy&#x27;s gesture means a lot to his father, Mark Andrew.</p><p>&quot;Siguro mawawala na yung tampo niya, dahil sabi nung anak niya, ginanun daw [thumbs up] siya. Nag thumbs up na yung anak niya,&quot; she added.</p><p>(Maybe his [Mark Andrew] sadness is gone because his son gestured to him. He [Carlos] gave him the thumbs up.)</p><p>Angelita watched the parade with her sisters, grandchildren and other relatives along Quirino Avenue. </p><div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/8/14/carlos-yulos-grandma-watches-parade-along-quirino-avenue-1953">READ: Carlos Yulo&#x27;s grandma watches parade along Quirino Avenue</a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
