About

Rafael "Raffy" Teshiba Tulfo (born March 12, 1960) is a Filipino broadcast journalist,
columnist, radio presenter and television personality whose work focuses on government
and private sector issues.

He is a Filipino broadcast journalist based in Quezon City, Philipines. He is a hard-hitting,

no-holds-barred commentator on issues pertaining to abuses and injustices committed by
people in power against ordinary citizens.

He is a known champion of the poor. He fights for the downtrodden– many of whom are
laborers– who flock to his radio show everyday to seek for his help. He is known among his
followers as “Mr. Action Man” and “Idol Raffy”.

Raffy Tulfo is the main anchor of a long existing top rated radio program WANTED SA
RADYO aired on 92.3 FM (Radyo5) and simulcast on Aksyon TV(channel 41). He also
anchors AKSYON SA TANGHALI, a noontime newscast that is aired daily on TV5. The said
newscast has a public service segment– Itimbre mo kay Tulfo, that airs and acts on
complaints from ordinary citizens.

Achievements and Accomplishments:

The Tulfos are the face of Philippine Justice, and that should bother us. Hundreds of people
line up outside TV5 every day to file a complaint with Raffy Tulfo in Action. To many of
them, the program is their last bastion of hope, and the closest thing to getting real justice
in the Philippines.

THE TULFOS are a phenomenon. The numbers confirm our national obsession with them.
Raffy Tulfo in Action has more than 8 million subscribers on YouTube, and nearly 4 billion
views. Think about it: 8 million subscribers is approximately 12% of the adult population in
the Philippines, and 4 billion views for their videos is roughly equivalent to around 75,000
years of viewing time. According to data collection site Socialblade, this makes the show the
second most influential YouTube page in the Philippines, next to ABS-CBN Entertainment,
and ahead of ABS-CBN News and GMA News.

PulseAsia measures the Philippine population’s Tulfo awareness at either the high eighties
or low nineties. Nine out of ten Filipinos know about them. Around three out of ten would
vote them into the Senate. The Tulfo formula was viral before we knew what viral was:
domestic turbulence, crooked officials, abusive businesses, and the heroes coming up to bat
for the common man.
The Tulfos, to people, are equalizers. In a system that seems to reward only power and
influence, the Tulfos would allow them to fight power and influence with power and
influence.
