00:00The health office in Iloilo province threw a controversy by using Filipino gymnast Carlos
00:05Yulo and his two gold medals in the Paris Olympics to promote its family planning and
00:09vasectomy campaign.
00:11An ad by the Iloilo Provincial Health Office says it will offer free vasectomies to, quote,
00:16all Ilongos named Carlos, including their friends.
00:19This quickly made the rounds on social media where it was greeted with a chorus of jeers,
00:23laughter, and bewilderment.
00:25Online users point out the irony of choosing a young and unmarried athlete as a model for
00:29a vasectomy.
00:30The backlash was swift and fierce, prompting the IPHO to delete the post and replace it
00:35with another ad.
