Ben BITAG Tulfo has long been regarded as a beacon of hope for the voiceless, faceless, weak and those who cannot defend themselves.
For twenty two (22) years, Ben BITAG Tulfo’s television shows have become a barometer in handling the sentiments of the people who were victims of abuses, exploitation, deceit and neglect. People who are seeking justice, support and inclusivity in the Philippine government.
Beyond investigating issues, Ben engages directly with the people coming over to BITAG Action Center in Quezon City. These people came from different places in Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and even want to be heard. Ben took the cudgel for these marginalized people. Most of the time he provides food and a place to stay overnight or for days while their complaints are being investigated. Needless to say, Ben with his team of investigative journalists goes eyeball to eyeball right on the faces of the complained individuals across the country.

In the year 2023, Ben started to listen to the clamor. These followed by the Senatorial surveys that started to come out in the early months of 2024.
In a bold move that has captured public attention, Ben BITAG Tulfo has declared his intention to run for the Senate. Ben’s candidacy is rooted in his belief that lawmakers should be accessible and accountable to the people. He plans to prioritize issues such as food, health, job, peace and order, and corruption.

As the election approaches, many are rallying behind Tulfo, seeing him as a representative who truly understands the Filipino people. His vision for a more equitable society resonates with voters who are eager for change and hope that Tulfo’s transition from media to politics will usher in a new era of accountability and service in the Senate.
Ben’s advocacy may not be heavily advertised on social media but each uncovered story spotlighting the struggles of the faceless, voiceless, weak and those who cannot defend themselves resonates deeply with the public. Ben is a quiet storm — quiet storm but the effect is powerful. He is underrated, off the radar because he refused to be overrated.
