I AM happy that the Inquirer keeps credible columnists like Randy David, Walden Bello, Solita Monsod, MLQ III and a lot more.
What I don’t understand is that amid the scholarly written articles, there comes Ramon Tulfo writing about the newly elected governor of Pampanga, Father Ed Panlilio, whom he thought was losing in a fair battle.
I’m really vexed at the thought that the Inquirer also keeps rotten tomatoes like Ramon Tulfo in their newspaper.
Quoting his post:
Priest-turned-politician Eddie Panlilio should shut up if he can’t prove his allegations that his closest rival, Board Member Lilia “Baby” Pineda, committed fraud in the Pampanga gubernatorial race.
As of this writing, Pineda had widened her lead over Panlilio, with the incumbent, Gov. Mark Lapid, coming in third. (Panlilio was proclaimed the winner last nightâ€â€ŔEditor)
Panlilio should stop being a crybaby and admit that he lost in a fair fight. He is barking up the wrong tree since Pineda is not the incumbent. I’m not saying Lapid cheated, but the sitting official usually has the capability to cheat because of power and machinery.
Now, who should shut up? Thank you for telling Father Panlilio to stop being a crybaby, because as of the moment, all his tears are of joy! And who are you to say that Baby Pineda has no capacity to cheat? Come on, I am from Pampanga and I really don’t know if you live here. Mr. Tulfo, I think you’re the one barking at the wrong tree; anyway, dogs really do that sometimes. The next time you write about the results of elections, see to it that you have correctly seen the COCs. What gave you the idea that Baby Pineda won? Strange, really strange. I will just wait for the apology that you will address to Father Ed. Learn your lesson. Thank you.

TO ISABEL BUENCAMINO
PADACA won over DY in ISABELA not CAGAYAN. And yes, Tulfo favors the DYs over PADACA because he is a beneficiary of jueteng money from the biggest jueteng lord in ISABELA- Cesar Dy.

Kayo naman, kawawa naman si Mon Tulfo. Inamin namn niyang nag “red face”siya ng malamang nanalo si Fr. Ed. Advice ko lang kay Mon, huwag namang too hasty and too obvious. Nahahalata ka tuloy. Hayan naglabasan NA NAMAN tuloy ang MATAGAL na naming alam!
At kay Archbishop Cruz at Fr Quitorio ng CBCP, pwede PO ba pabayaan na lang ninyong si Archbishop Aniceto ang magsalita. Siya ang may JURISDICTION kay Fr. Ed. hIndi po kayo. Huwag na po kayong pumapel. Sa English, “Mind your own business.” Salamat po.

O Ramon Tulfo, how far have you fallen…
If you stop this sympathy for shady characters and politicians especially those who promote illegal gambling, there might still be hope for you yet.

Tulfo ay isang tuta ni pineda. wla na kasi siyang magawa sa buhay na kaya tinitira nalang niya si Fr. Ed. Mr. Tulfo how much pineda paid you for the message. And kung ako sayo Mr. Tulfo you should ask forgivess for what you have said and shut up! Next time before writing anything think for it. Mukha kang pera

Much ado over nothing. Can’t understand what the fuzz is all about. A columnist expresses his opinion about somebody and a situation. Irregardless of whether he is a close friend, was paid, etc., etc., that is HIS opinion. Just like we have our own opinions. Lets agree to disagree. We might not like the guy (tulfo) but he is entitled to his opinion whether biased or not. Its like the other columnists who have their own.
