The Tulfo brothers' no holds barred statements on the airport scuffle incident involving their brother Mon and celebrity couple Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto caught the attention of MTRCB.
In a statement sent to Yahoo! Philippines OMG! and other media outfits Tuesday, May 8, TV5 said: “News5 assures the public and all parties concerned that the statements made by the Tulfo brothers in its program, T3, last May 7, 2012, were unscripted, spontaneous, and do not in any way reflect the stand nor the policy of the network, its management, and its employees.
“While we understand the emotions at play during the broadcast, News5 does not and will not condone such behavior. It was not only uncalled for but also runs counter to the established Code of Ethics that we all strictly adhere to.
“We are taking necessary actions to deal with this lapse in judgment on the part of the Tulfo brothers and assure the public that we remain committed to objective and impartial journalism.”
The brothers said in a recent “T3” episode: “Ako din, nagkikita tayo sa airport, ipagdasal mo lang muna at ipinapayo ko sa iyo at sa asawa mo, huwag ka munang lumabas sana. Dahil kapag nagpaabot tayo sa NAIA Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, tatamaan at tatamaan ka," Erwin said. "Wala akong pakialam, pati asawa mo, tatamaan sa akin. Ipagdasal mo na lamang na huwag tayong magkrus ng landas."
Meanwhile, Ben said: Raymart, pakinggan mo ang sasabihin ko sa iyo: Binabangga ko ang mga kriminal, mamatay-tao, matinong tao. Pero kung ang gusto mo—malaking warehouse, sarado, naghihintay ang ambulansiya. Last man standing, lalabas sa loob, magsasara tayo ng pinto. Titingnan ko ang galing mo. Tandaan mo ‘to."
Public apology
The brothers have apologized to those offended by their television remarks a day after the said "T3" episode.
“Kung kayo ho ay... kung hindi ninyo nagustuhan, kahit hindi kayo kasama sa problemang ito, ang amin pong paumanhin... Maging ang aming ina ay hindi nagustuhan dahil ito raw ay pagbabanta," Erwin said Tuesday, May 8 over his Radyo Singko program “Punto Asintado.”
Mon himself expressed disapproval over his brothers’actions.
“Maling-mali sila roon. Pinagalitan ko sila kahapon. Sabi ko bakit naman sila ganoon,” he said in a TV interview on Tuesday, May 8.
