Raffy Tulfo

Raffy Tulfo fascinates me as a study in how media power can be aimed at the powerless. From Quezon City he built a career on radio and television by literally stepping into ordinary people's disputes and grievances, and that grassroots trust carried him all the way to the Philippine Senate. His approach invites debate, and confronting strangers' lives on air demands real conviction. Whatever one makes of his methods, I respect the instinct to give voice to those usually ignored. My hope is that the senator never loses the broadcaster's original impulse to actually listen to the small and unheard.
