Crime Buster in the Airwaves

Radio Mindanao Network DZXL, an AM Radio based in Metro Manila could be described as different from any other AM Radios operating in the entire Philippine archipelago. RMN DZXL is known for its various programs serving different listeners with different tastes and views.

Although the said AM Radio employs few known personalities in broadcast media, one of its programs attracts more listeners from all over the country, from as far as north down to the southern tip of the Philippines. The program is called “WANTED” which practically denotes a firm and brave stand in going after criminals, abusive employers, educated bigots, misfits and erring military, police and government officials.

The anchor of “WANTED” is the indefatigable, gutsy, tough and fearless Raffy Tulfo, the other side of the known and tough “Tulfo Brothers.” His assistant is Nina Taduran, also a tough lady broadcaster. The program “WANTED” tackles various problems and issues affecting the nation.  

The tough broadcaster Raffy Tulfo had been credited for helping and solving numerous cases of violence and maltreatment of female domestic workers committed by their rich and abusive employers. He harshly criticized and rebuked abusive employers that employs underpaid workers particularly maids, private security guards and the less educated employees.

Tulfo calls and confronts on-air misfit military, police and government officials who are not performing their sworn duties to serve the public. He always reminds them to put the public interests as priority.

He reprimands policemen for ineptitude and lapses in doing their job; the Public Attorney’s Office for not giving their services in inquest proceedings and the Prosecution Office for not conducting proper investigation that warrant the offending party to be charged and put in jail. Often, the poor and the illiterates end in this kind of (not) legal proceedings.  

Hardened and ordinary criminals are likewise not excused from Tulfo’s tough guy personality. He hit them hard in his program to aid the authorities to act with precision and decisiveness. He is also critical of educated bigots in society.

For this, the listeners and the ordinary people have found protection from Raffy Tulfo, through his radio program WANTED. His program is being aired from Monday to Friday at 2:00-4:00 in the afternoon on RMN DZXL AM Radio.
