Journalist Ben Tulfo came to defend his friend Willie Revillame from critics after the latter already released an apology.
It can be recalled that Revillame’s statement went viral for reminding some of his critics about the help they received from him.
“Hindi na ako matatakot sa inyong lahat, laban na ito kung laban. Masyado niyo na akong inaapi. Tirahin niyo ako minu-minuto, I don’t care dahil kayo ang may utang na loob sa akin, hindi ako.” Revillame said.
Some of the celebrities who reacted to the statement of Revillame were Ogie Diaz and Cristy Fermin.
Later on, Revillame apologized saying that he was misled by the people surrounding him.
However, some people still kept criticizing the television host despite humbling himself already.
Because of that, Tulfo who’s known for his tough personality defended Revillame and urged the public to stop criticizing the host already.
‘Pag ang tao nagpakumbaba at humingi ng kapatawaran sa kaniyang pagkakamali, ‘wag na natin palawakin pa. ‘Wag na hamunin ng giyera baka kasi may pumasok na totoong mandirigma na kaibigan ni Willie. Ito’y paalaala lang naman, mamili na lang kayo!” Tulfo said.
He also asked the critics of Revillame if they’re only living to gossip about other people’s lives.
Tulfo vowed not to retreat from defending Revillame.
Netizens also expressed support to the television host, highlighting the good deeds of Revillame to the needy.
“Kahit anu pa sabihin nila sir ben, un mga naitulong ni kuya willy sa ibng tao, hindi nila kayang gawin un, laban lang kuya willy” netizen Thoany said.
“Sir alam ko po kung sino ung naghahamon ..napanood ko po sa youtube….kuya will hayaan mo na lang siya matanda na..meron talagang taong ganyan habang tumatanda lalong nagiging salbahe di ko po nilalahat..” netizen Bandeng remarked.
