Ernest John “EJ” Obiena has addressed rumors of a feud with fellow Filipino Olympian Carlos “Caloy” Yulo, stating that they are good friends and will remain so.
In a social media post, Obiena expressed his frustration over fabricated stories aimed at generating clicks and engagement, emphasizing that journalism should be based on facts.
He outlined five key points, asserting that he respects Yulo, is not in competition with him, and has never commented on his personal life.
Obiena urged fans to rely on his official communications rather than sensationalized reports from clickbait sites, calling such practices an abuse of journalism.
As he prepares for the 2025 season following a spine injury that cut his 2024 season short, Obiena encouraged the public to support athletes rather than create unnecessary drama.
