THE AFP IS MORE ZEALOUSLY PROTECTIVE OF GEN BAUTISTA THAN PRRD

Erwin Tulfo berated retired Gen Bautista on his radio program for failing to accept his urgent interview request.

These are the words of Erwin Tulfo: “Tinatawagan ka namin para marining ng kababayang mahihirap ang stand ng mga mahihirap. Hindi yung sasabihan niyo kami na sumulat muna kayo five days before. Sino ka bang punyeta ka na kailangan ko pang sumulat sayo? Sagutin mo yung telepono mo dahil Secretary ka ng DSWD! Gustong marinig ng mga kababayan natin anong magagawa mo para sa kanila.”

The Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Alumni Association has issued an official statement condemning radio personality Erwin Tulfo over his “degrading remarks.” Thereafter, Yesterday, Sunday, the AFP recalled the Philippine Marines assigned as security detail to special envoy Ramon Tulfo, the brother of Erwin citing "dearth of personnel" as the reason behind the withdrawal of security detail. But it was reasonably assumed by the public that the law of unintended deleterious consequences is surely in play on such security withdrawal.

However, there were numberless times where Sen. Trillanes, Sen. De Lima, Maria Ressa, the Yellows, the loyalists, and the media chewed up with insults, spit out with fake news, and tried to oust PRRD who is the Commander in Chief of the AFP. Nonetheless, the AFP did not even draw a swift and furious aggressive response, either to condemn, least of all, made any deterrent statement against the enemies. But curiously enough, in the case of Erwin Tulfo who insulted Gen Bautista, it triggered such hell and damnation for the AFP like "one gigantic thunderstorm.” It became obvious that the AFP has just had lots of lines that just didn’t seem genuine at all when it comes to PRRD and our country.

The AFP Officials who venture into this depth of their selective passion and rage against Erwin Tulfo are limited to what their lights reveal. This is a stark indication on the part of the AFP to harp only at matters that suits their purpose. I am envious beyond words of Gen Bautista the way the AFP reacts for his rescue like lightning striking when he was demeaned. But for PRRD, my sense is that the AFP is not ready to fight back at grace for him.

The obvious display of selective manner of impulse by the AFP to protect and defend Gen Bautista with just a mere insult more than PRRD, even to the extent of deposing him from the presidency by the enemies is a device that would create a visual psychic incentive for the enemies to attack PRRD and ruined our country. The predictable behavior that the AFP has shown can be a very grave mistake.
