The viral video of Mon Tulfo’s mugging by Raymart Santiago et al. sent everyone pitying him, but me. I suspected there was an antecedent to the video. Judging by how the Tulfo brothers behave in the media, it’s almost a no-brainer.
True enough, one brave lady (anna, not her real name) came
out, albeit requesting that her identify be withheld, with a statement belying
Tulfo’s claims. Watching the video, I only wondered what could have provoked
Raymart et al. to such a beasty rage, but I never doubted that there was. It’s
easy to guess what these Tulfo brothers are capable of doing; they say it with imprecating
temerity and regularity.
It’s high time these Tulfos were confronted and taught a
lesson. Their brand of journalism is rustic and unprofessional, the kind you
only expect to see in the unregulated world of the internet. It’s a shame that
a fast-growing and otherwise respectable broadcast media outfit, ABC Channel 5,
buys into them. The arrogant malediction or profanity that characterizes their
broadcast programs exposes our children to the risk of mistaken inspiration.
Sure I can concede that I, as many others, support what they
do to the extent of exposing the abuses of men of power and privilege, and
lending voice and defense to the oppressed. Sadly, they simply OVERDO
everything. Zeal and passion cannot excuse anyone, especially people who are
public by reason of their profession from whom, in fact, more is demanded, from the responsibility of
decency, civility, and tact, that comes with such stature.
I shudder to imagine how many children of this nation have
been regrettably introduced to the Tulfos’ aired profane rants; anathema to raising
well-mannered generations of youth.
You just can’t walk around P.I.’ng everyone; earn big, and
walk away with it like you own the world.
