Tulfo criticized for making teacher quit job

A grandmother complained about a 55-year-old teacher on an episode of Tulfo's show "Raffy Tulfo in Action" after the instructor chastised her grandson for failing to return his report card. The instructor claimed that she was only disciplining the boy and had no intention of traumatizing him, but the grandmother and parents disagreed. The teacher apologized publicly, but the students' guardians insisted on penalizing him. Tulfo offered the instructor two choices: face criminal charges or quit her job, and she chose the latter. Netizens were dissatisfied with Tulfo's handling of the situation, claiming that such matters should be addressed with due process rather than being made public.

Same-sex union. Kasi, pag sinabi mong marriage, sacrament iyan, eh. So, same-sex union. Nang sa gayon, yung same-sex couple, magkaroon ng kaparehong rights tulad ng heterosexual couple. Meron na akong kaso na kung saan, same-sex couple, years na silang magkasama then namatay yung isa. Nung namatay yung isa, ang ginawa ng kamag-anak nung namatay, aba'y kinuha! Kinuha yung properties! Pera, alahas, yung lahat na, ng kanyang kamag-anak. Aba! Paano naman itong naiwan? Matagal na nagsilbi.Naghirap, nagsilbi. Lahat na, ginawa niya dahil sa kanyang pagmamahal sa kanyang partner. Nabale-wala nang namatay ang kanyang partner dahil kinuha nga ng mga sakim na kamag-anak, lahat ng pera, ari-arian nung yumao. Pero kapag meron nang same-sex union, aba! Protektado na sila. Equal rights para sa kanila.

Dati ako'y pro-death penalty and then as time goes on, nakikita ko na merong problema, kasi itong death penalty, anti-poor yan. Kasi kapag mayaman ka, mapera, kaya mong mag-hire ng pinakamagagaling na mga abogado. And more often than not, you will get away with it. Pag pulubi ka, pobre ka, no way, kahit wala kang kasalanan kulong ka at pag minalasmalas ka, death penalty ka.

Napanalo natin yun eh, dapat ipagpatuloy, ipaglaban natin ang ating panalo. On the other hand meron namang punto ang ating pangulo, dahil sinabi nya,'what's next, wala namang police power yung korte doon, so pwedeng punitin ng China yung papel kasi sabihin nila we don't abide to this, we don't respect this' wala tayong magawa. However, meron akong suggestion. Sana yung mga ASEAN countries na merong mga may maritime issues sa China, bakit 'di mag-band together, magkaroon ng MOU and then ipapa-charter yan sa UN kasi pag maraming nagsama-sama na parehong may mga issue sa China tulad ng Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, siguro mahiya-hiya na ang China na parang lalabas nang nambubully na sya, ang dami na, may kasama pa dyang UN, ang dami ang pumipigil sa kanya.

Nakakalungkot nga dahil sa kabila nitong maraming nagmamalasakit sa ating kapwa, namimigay ng tulong eh binabantaan at tinatakot pa so ang ating panawagan sa mga kinauukulan, sa ating PNP at tanod, wag na kayong mag-epal. Siguro the least you could do is pumunta kayo doon hindi para mang-harass, manakot kundi para siguraduhin na maayos yung pila, and then b para masunod yung minimum health protocols pero wag nyong harassin dahil maganda po yung ginagawa nitong mga kababayan natin na tumutulong sa mga nangaingailangan. Kung pupunahin niyo po ang community pantry, kung ano man yung nasa utak ninyo at nakita niyong may pagkakamali, punahin nyo po muna yung mga ginagawang nakawan ngayon ng SAP na lantaran naman mula sa lebel ng mayor's office, treasurer's office, CSWD, MSWD, kagawad, etc. yun ang puntiryahin niyo, wag naman yung gumagawa ng mabuti.

Divorce, yes. Kasi, marami nang hindi ko na mabilang ang lumapit, na halimbawa, si misis, lalapit siya sa akin dahil si mister, kinukulit siya, ayaw na niya. O kaya si mister, lasenggero. O si mister, bugbogero. Pero ayaw niyang magsampa ng kaso. Tapos kakausapin ko silang mag-asawa para magbalikan. At marami na akong nagawa kung saan nagkabalikan yung mag-asawa, and then after a few days, naghihiwalay uli, okay. At meron ding mga kaso kung saan yung mag-asawa na matagal nang magkahiwalay we're talking about years. And then isa sa kanila, nakahanap ng butas na "Aha! Ikaw ay nambababae. Idedemanda kita dahil kasal pa rin tayo, hindi pa rin tayo annuled." Samantalang matagal na silang hiwalay. Masalimuot at matagal na proseso ang usaping hiwalayan ng mag-asawa rito sa Pilipinas. Dapat i-prove mo na may psychological problem yung partner mo. At kailangan mo ng psychiatrist, and it's hard to prove. Samantalang sa divorce, irreconcilable difference lang ay puwede mong gawing rason.
