00:00There's no animosity between popular Philippine sports champions EJ Obiena and Carlos Yulo.
00:07The pole-vault star says all the stories of his rumored rift with the Olympic gymnastics
00:11champion are fabricated and misleading.
00:14He writes on social media,
00:15"...I don't compete with my friend Galoy, and I deeply respect him.
00:19I am proud of him."
00:21Obiena's reaction comes after online rumors continue to pit the two current faces of Philippine
00:26sports against each other, from their private lives to sporting careers to brand endorsements.
00:31The two made headlines beyond their sporting feats over the years, Obiena on his messy
00:36rift with his National Sports Association and doping accusations, Yulo on his strained
00:40family relations, controversial love life, and split with his longtime Japanese coach.
00:46Obiena hopes fans would just, quote, "...focus on cheering our athletes on instead of creating
00:51false drama."
