A viral video posted June 3, 2026 — garnering 464K+ views — used AI-generated audio to fabricate a conversation between Senators Raffy and Erwin Tulfo admitting to receiving a cash payoff. Rappler found no official cases linking either senator to the scheme.
Following a May 13 confrontation between Senate security personnel (OSAA) and NBI agents inside the Senate, Tulfo filed SR No. 402 calling for formal operations manuals, crisis-management training, and clearer use-of-force protocols.
A March 2026 Pulse Asia 'Ulat ng Bayan' survey showed both candidates at 46% in a head-to-head matchup, making Tulfo a serious — if self-declared reluctant — presidential contender.
At a press conference, Tulfo declared his decision "final," saying he prefers the Senate's lower profile which lets him assist Filipinos directly — brushing off repeated speculation fueled by top-tier survey rankings.
In his capacity as Senate Committee on Public Services chair, Tulfo toured the MMDA's CCTV and body-worn-camera monitoring hub and flagged that many frontline MMDA workers remain on precarious job-order contracts despite years of service.

Raffy Tulfo is a Filipino broadcast journalist and sitting senator whose media career spans more than two decades of public-affairs programming in the Philippines. A member of the prominent Tulfo media family, he built his name through a confrontational, advocacy-driven format in which ordinary Filipinos — laborers, domestic workers, victims of fraud and domestic abuse — bring their grievances directly to his program, and he intervenes on their behalf, often calling out abusers, employers, or officials live on air. That formula proved enormously resonant: his YouTube channel grew into one of the largest in the country, with a massive subscriber base drawn primarily from working-class and middle-income Filipino audiences. His 2022 election to the Philippine Senate added a formal political dimension to his brand, and post titles referencing 'Senator-Judge Raffy Tulfo' reflect how his legislative role has since blended into his on-camera persona.
His audience skews predominantly male and spans the 18–44 demographic, with the overwhelming majority based in the Philippines — a tight geographic concentration that makes his channel a direct-reach vehicle into the Filipino mainstream rather than a diaspora play. The spillover audience in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United States is largely composed of overseas Filipino workers, a group that aligns closely with the labor and social-justice themes of his content. TikTok carries notably stronger engagement than his other platforms, suggesting younger Filipinos are discovering his advocacy clips in short form. Because his content centers on social accountability rather than lifestyle or entertainment, traditional consumer brand sponsorships are limited — his positioning is closer to a civic institution than an influencer, which makes him a compelling partner specifically for public-interest campaigns, government agencies, and brands seeking credibility with grassroots Filipino consumers.
Raffy Tulfo in Action reaches an audience concentrated in Philippines primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a news creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Engagement on YouTube runs around 1.6%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Yes, Raffy Tulfo was elected to the Philippine Senate in the 2022 national elections, placing among the top vote-getters nationwide. He continues running his media operations alongside his legislative work, and his YouTube channel now reflects his dual identity — broadcasting complaint-resolution segments while also capturing his Senate floor appearances.
Raffy Tulfo is part of the prominent Tulfo media family, whose brothers include Ramon "Mon" Tulfo, Erwin Tulfo, and Ben Tulfo — all established journalists and public figures in the Philippines. The Tulfo family has maintained a decades-long presence across Philippine broadcast television, radio, print journalism, and government, making them one of the most recognizable media dynasties in the country.
The show takes real-life complaints from ordinary Filipinos who have been wronged or abused and have nowhere else to turn — covering paternity disputes, cheating partners, employer abuse, scams, and injustices committed by people in power against laborers and the poor. DNA test reveals, confrontations with unfaithful spouses, and workplace exploitation cases are among the most viral segments on the channel.
The Filipino phrase translates to "Listening. Fighting. Taking Action." — and it captures the three-part identity Raffy Tulfo has built over more than 25 years in public service: hearing out the grievances of ordinary citizens, standing up against those who abuse them, and actively intervening on their behalf. It appears across his Instagram and TikTok profiles as his personal statement.
Wanted sa Radyo is one of Raffy Tulfo's signature radio programs, where listeners call in with complaints seeking help against injustice or abuse. It predates his YouTube channel and was central to building his decades-long reputation as a go-to public advocate for Filipinos who feel powerless against scammers, corrupt officials, and abusive employers.
In the Philippines, when the Senate convenes as an impeachment court, every sitting senator serves as a judge in the proceedings — giving them the combined title "Senator-Judge." Raffy Tulfo has appeared in this role questioning witnesses, including NBI officials, during impeachment trials, and his channel has shared footage of those hearings as part of his public accountability content.
Paternity and parentage disputes are among the most emotionally charged cases Filipinos bring to the show, and the live DNA reveal format delivers an immediate, on-camera resolution that drives massive viewership. These segments reflect the show's broader mission of confronting difficult family truths that ordinary people struggle to resolve on their own, and they consistently rank among the most-shared content on the channel.
The show has accepted complaints from Filipinos who feel wronged and have exhausted other options, evolving over more than 25 years from walk-in visits and radio call-ins through Wanted sa Radyo to digital submissions. Raffy Tulfo positions the show explicitly as a platform for laborers and the downtrodden — people who often lack the resources or connections to seek justice through conventional channels.
Yes — with well over 30 million subscribers, Raffy Tulfo in Action ranks among the largest YouTube channels in the Philippines and one of the most-subscribed news and public affairs channels in all of Southeast Asia. Its audience is overwhelmingly Filipino, with the vast majority of viewers watching from within the Philippines itself.
Yes — Raffy Tulfo has maintained an active media presence on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok even after entering the Senate. His channel uploads regularly, and recent content spans both his signature complaint-resolution segments and footage from his legislative work, including his role as a Senator-Judge in impeachment proceedings.
