MANILA, Philippines—Even the Moro Islamic Liberation Front has something to say on Sunday’s airport brawl between Philippine Daily Inquirer columnist and radio host Ramon Tulfo and celebrity couple Claudine Barreto and Raymart Santiago.
“Hurting is not only when one is attacked but the more stinging it is when the offended party is the whole community like the Moros,” said Khaled Musa, deputy chairman on MILF Committee on Information in a statement.
“I wish he will stop insulting people now that he has been given the dose of his own medicine,” Musa said.
The MILF accused Tulfo of being an “incorrigible critic of the Moros in Mindanao, as if in his Philippine Daily Inquirer, they were made of sub-race.”
The secessionist group added that the feisty columnist made so many enemies including the former First Gentleman, Mike Arroyo, and Senator Panfilo Lacson, whom he tagged as “murderer” and “adulterer.”
“Tulfo also did not spare the legendary movie king, Fernando Poe Jr., from his tongue-lashing even if the latter was already comatose.”
The MILF claimed, however, that it remained “completely neutral” as far as the incident is concerned.
“Truth is truth and it is not fair to say Ramon Tulfo or the Santiagos are guilty of starting the brawl. Let the facts of the incident come out soon,” it said.
