After slamming his fellow TV5 colleague and radio commentator Erwin Tulfo, news anchor Ed Lingao has once again taken to Facebook to break down the wrong statements Ben Tulfo threw his way.

“Naku isa pa itong naghahamon. Sa programa pa ng singko. Isa isahin ko rin ang paliwanag para madali mong maintindihan ha?” Lingao told Ben Tulfo in his Facebook post on June 20.
He pointed out six points to shot back at Ben and it started with him urging Ben and his younger brother, Erwin, to start reading.
“Sinabi ko na sa utol mo, at sasabihin ko rin sa iyo. Magbasa ka muna. Trabaho ng reporter yan eh. Ah hindi mo ba alam yun? Nakakahiya naman, mas matanda ka sa utol mo, aalalayan mo, tapos sablay ka rin dun sa hindi pagbabasa? Magbasa ng mabuti, kahit dahan dahan,” he said in his first point.
Lingao debunked the Tulfo brothers’ claim that he wanted Erwin to be fired from TV5, when it is absolutely untrue.
“Basahin mo kasi ang sinulat ko na pinanggigigilan mo. May makkita ka ba dun na humingi ako na suspindihin ang utol mo? Na tanggalin siya ng singko? Hmm parang wala ata, kahit ilang beses ko basahin. Eh bakit inuulit ulit mo hijo? (Tinatawag kitang hijo kahit matanda ka. Bakit kaya?),” he added.

Lingao also brought the Tulfo brothers down a notch in this second point by telling them that having so many followers does not necessarily attest to the accuracy of their statements.
“You and your brother seem to make a very big deal out of the fact that you have so many followers. Uhm, yun ba ang target mo? Hindi yun ang sa akin eh. Kahit estudyante, sasabihin sa iyo that the number of followers is not directly related to the correctness of your statements. Kasi kung paramihan lang ng followers, aba e gawin na nating news anchor si Willie Revillame. Hmmm? Ay teka bawiin ko na, baka sumangayon ka dun,” he said.
Of course, it did not escape Lingao’s notice how Ben, just like his brother, immediately called him “yellow.” But Lingao added that he’s not an as*-kisser like the Tulfo brothers.
“Gaya ng utol mo, may pahapyaw ka rin na dilaw ako. Hmm ang galing talaga ninyo ano? Palibhasa hindi ako gaya ninyong mga sipsip, na kumakapit na parang tuko para hindi mawala sa grasya, tatawagin nang dilaw para kuyugin ng mga trolls. Bravo, at least dun nagisip ka. Mali nga lang, pero good strategy yun,” Lingao said.
Concerning the issue of Ben accusing Lingao of wearing bullet proof and helmet, he corrected Ben saying that he was wearing a “flak jacket,” not a bullet proof one, when he was in Iraq. He also took a swipe at Ben for being the one who’s fond of props, not him.
“Nagulat ako sa sinabi mo na mahilig ako mag bullet proof at mag helmet. Talaga? Sa buhay ko, isang beses lang ako sumuot ng flak jacket (hindi bullet proof yun hijo), nung gyera sa Iraq. Ay nandun ka ba? Ahhh wala. Ang helmet, dalawang beses, isang beses sa Iraq, pangalawang beses sa isang operation sa Basilan. Ay nandun ka ba? Ahhh wala. Ok. (Correction: Sorry tatlong beses pala. Yung pangatlo, dun sa 2nd trip ko sa Afghanistan, pero pinahiram lang ng Belgian paratroopers) Pero ikaw, mahilig ka mag bullet proof sa police operations? Ok lang yun, tinuturo namin sa mga reporter na minsan talagang kailangan yan dahil hindi bullet proof ang mga katawan nila. Pero hijo, yung mga okasyon na pinag susuotan mo ng bullet proof vest, talagang balak mong ikumpara sa mga pinagdaanan ko? Eh kung may tatawaging mahilig sa props, baka ikaw yun.”
In response to Ben taunting Lingao for his stutter, this is Lingao’s epic response: “ Sabi ko naman, mabuti na ang bulol kaysa tanga.”
He also threw shade at Ben for pronouncing “pulverize” as “pulborize.”
“Hijo, pwede ka namang magtagalog eh, huwag mo nang pilitin. Nakakatawa lang eh. I will “pulborize” you! Ano gagamitin mo, pulburon? Slang ka pa dyan,” Lingao said.
As for Ben calling him a coward, Lingao that he taught reporters and journalism students to acknowledge fear, quoted a line about courage – “Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the ability and the willingness to go on inspite of the fear.”
“Takot ako sa iyo? Hijo sorry ha, pero sinasabi ko sa lahat ng estudyante at mga journo na binibigyan namin ng seminar, OO TAKOT AKO PARATI! bakit ko nasabi yun? Dahil ang reporter na wala raw kinakatakutan, hindi yun matapang. Tanga yun. Ang tunay na reporter, may takot, pero susugod pa rin. Inglisin ko tutal mahilig ka mag slang. Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the ability and the willingness to go on inspite of the fear. Ang maiingay, yung mga tunay na duwag. O ayan, baka gusto mo kunin out of context din, baka hindi mo binasa ng maigi?
Gayunpaman, sige hijo puntahan mo ako, alam mo naman kung anung oras ako nandun diba? Sige hijo punta lang. Ito malaking ngiti para sa iyo, uunahan na kita ng welcome smile,” he wrapped up his post.
Ben Tulfo’s tirade against Lingao came after the latter slammed Erwin Tulfo cussing at Senator Risa Hontiveros over a fake meme and not admitting to his mistake, on top of being “foul” in mentioning Lingao’s deceased child.
