Mr. Fearless



           “Walang pinipili. Kahit na anong kaso ang ilapit n’yo we will try to solve it”, said Tulfo, a columnist and TV and radio journalist.

            “If you do your job and then you put in your heart, you do it by heart, plus dedication. Dahil we want to make sure, at the end of the day, kung anuman ang problemang yun, ginawa mo’ng lahat ang magagawa mo, come what may, kailang ma-solve ‘yun”, he added.


            For Erwin, he very much enjoyed what he is right now. He doesn’t give importance on the value of money, on the salary, but rather he wanted only to serve others whatever risk waiting to him. Though he’s work has so much pressure and danger, he maintained to become more willing and eager to his job.

            Actually, Erwin was not a journalism student graduate but his passion in writing led him to what he is right now. He started as a writer in the school paper “Dawn” in the University of the East. Though he became as TV and radio journalist, his love in newspaper industry still there until now.

            “First love ko ay newspaper kasi doon ako nagsimula … love ko lahat pero siyempre pinakamalapit sa puso ko ay dyaryo”, said Tulfo.

            Known as a warrior media personality, he received so many death threats but he doesn’t mind that and still focus to his profession and according to him, the only thing to fight that is to always pray to God.

            Erwin’s parents were his motivation to his all success he got. His mother’s compassion and his father’s discipline gave a good impact to him that he would never forget in his flourishing life. His mother grew him to be compassionate. Along with his brothers, their mother served as their shoulder cry whenever they have problems and was very caring and helpful. For his military father, he learned on how to become a fearless guy to the violent people.

            “Siguro nakalakihan lang kasi ‘yung magulang ko matulungin rin … and ‘yung tinuro sa amin na hindi masama tumulong”, Tulfo said.

            Erwin also revealed that the secret thing in his achievement was he love what he’s doing and he didn’t forget our Lord.
