Manial, Philippines – Broadcaster Erwin Tulfo finally spoken
his side on the issue regarding PNP’s decision to surrender his guns after his
license to own and possess firearms (LTOPF) expired on March 3.
Philippine National Police chief Gen. Oscar Albayalde
yesterday warned broadcaster Erwin Tulfo that the PNP would be forced to
take the necessary action if he will not surrender his firearms.
In his Facebook post, the journalist said that he found no
malice in being ordered by the PNP to surrender his firearms.
“We find no malice on the part of PNP Chief
Director-General Oscar Albayalde in his decision to strip us of our security
detail and confiscation of my licensed firearms… “
“I have
received death threats, which I have learned to live within my line of work,
especially with the Tulfos’ public service work and brand of journalism, my
bread and butter. With or without the PNP detail, we’re always a sitting target
to big-time criminal syndicates,”
“The
Tulfo brothers are no Bigshots by any stretch of imagination. Boses lang po
kami ng mga inapi at ng mga nakakaligtaan ng lipunan.”
“WE ARE
NO HEROES. However, we can’t just simply turn our back to those who ask for
help because, were taught by our parents to stand up and fight for those who
are weak and helpless. And for decades we have committed to rendering that kind
of public service in our own small way, though it will not earn an epitaph at Libingan
ng mga Bayani.’
“Indeed,
it’s a dangerous country for hard-hitting journalists, as it is for cops and
soldiers but we’ve got a lot of work to do to make this country a better place
to live for everyone.” Tulfo wrote.
It was reported in a recent article, that
Tulfo has been declared as persona non grata by the PMA Alumni Association.
Erwin Tulfo is a veteran journalist and
broadcaster. His brothers are journalists as well. They are Ben, Ramon and
Raffy Tulfo.
