MANILA, Philippines — ‘Respect should be given to everyone’ not just to government officials, Malacañang said Monday, days after broadcaster Erwin Tulfo went mad and unleashed tirades against Social Welfare Secretary Rolando Bautista.

Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo said the Cabinet is “supporting” Bautista after Tulfo berated the DSWD chief on air during the May 28 episode of his program on state-run Radyo Pilipinas.

“Respect should be given to everyone and it should also be earned,” Panelo said in a Palace briefing.

“As I said, the President will not interfere on any feud between two individuals,” Panelo noted. He said Communications Secretary Martin Andanar would decide on the issue.
