“Video cannot lie but it can be an accessory to a crime.”
As the saying goes.
Raymart Santiago, husband of Claudine Barretto has a fist
fight with journalist Mon Tulfo.
Raymart Santiago, a former action star and Mon Tulfo who
is a broadcast–journalist whose tongue is as acid as Simon Cowell. Both in one
location and in a not so ambient situation so what do you expect, a definite
fist fight.
I saw the video at youtube.
Conclusion:
Mr. and Mrs. Santiago are professional liars.
Ang gagaling mag–drama! Artista talaga! Eh papaano na
lang kung hindi na–video yung eksena, eh di paninindigan nilang dalawa yung
kasinungalingan nila!
And with Claudine Barretto creating a scene, What’s new?
Di ba ganyan din naman ginawa niya sa bangko several
months ago. Why she didn’t confront the man covering the incident then? Was it
because it was Nelson Canlas who was covering the incident who happens to be a
staff of GMA–7? Eh kung si Gretchen Fullido ang nakakuha ng eksena, anong
gagawin ni Claudine, sasabunutan niya si Gretchen?
Here is the sequence of event “as I reconstructed it”
based on what both parties was saying:
Ø Santiago
family arrive at NAIA with their baggage not loaded on the plane.
Ø Claudine
freaks out when she finds out that their baggage is off the plane. It’s a natural
reaction.
Ø Out
of Claudine’s dismay, she heap the blame on the ground attendant.
Ø The
ground attendant in return knowing that Claudine is a celebrity becomes tongue–twisted
and undergoes a humiliation from the bitchy Claudine Barretto.
Ø Incidentally,
Mon Tulfo was at the airport as well. Mon Tulfo’s program on “AM radio” is helping
ordinary citizens under distress condition cope up with their misery. And here
is a real life situation right before his eyes.
Ø Mon
Tulfo sees an ordinary citizen being humiliated in front of a big crowd and he
has to do something. So he interferes.
Ø Most
likely the bitchy Claudine Barretto ignores the sign. She might have not known
Mon Tulfo as well because Mon Tulfo belong to ABC–5 under the News and Current
Affair while Claudine belongs to GMA–7 under their entertainment department
whatsoever which are both entirely different entities.
Ø Most
likely when Mon Tulfo sees Claudine unabated with her bitchiness, tries to
capture the incident which angers Claudine and her husband Raymart because they
know deep within their nerves that what they are doing is offensively foul.
Ø So,
Raymart attack Tulfo.
Based on the video, it was crystal clear that it was Mon
Tulfo who was seriously aggrieved.
Who is the guy wearing green shirt? Was he Raymart’s
bodyguard or a bystander who has grudge with Tulfo that when he got the opportunity
to smack the guy’s face, he release all his anger!
Claudine says that she was banged “at the counter” so is
there a missing video other than this one because they are in an open space and
it was obvious that it was Raymart who attack first. Granting that she was
banged at the counter, with what her husband did, isn’t that an enough
retaliation?
Claudine’s style of crying in front of a camera to
obscure her guilt is already the classical style of Armida Siguion–Reyna and
Rose Flaminiano whenever they are caught in a serious mess. To wash their hand,
they speak out loud in the media that they are the one aggrieved but of course
we are not stupid to believe with their classical stupidity!
Things would not have happened if Cebu Pacific has find
ways to improve their services. They are in operation for a long time already. They
are even a publicly listed companies with shareholders and yet they are
stagnant with what they are. So, Cebu Pacific should be compensating Santiago
family and Mon Tulfo for the inconvenience they have bought to them. If they
are not going to lose something in a form of compensation, their services will
not improve. Likewise, who are the people behind the operation of their
airline, I’m sure you are earning a hefty figure so try to be more competent
otherwise, somebody else might get your
job.
The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP) should
be supporting Mon Tulfo. He is not a paparazzi who is trying to make a living
by making celebrity annoyed and intimidated. This case is a spur of the moment
incident not deliberately done. He is
just trying to extend his help to that poor ground attendant. On the other
hand, the GMA–7 should no longer be renewing the contract of Claudine and
Raymart. They are not good example to the public and will just tarnish the
image of the station. For the benefit of Raymart and Claudine, they should stepped
out of the spotlight if they don’t want their privacy to be trespassed again.
Just a flashback though, Sharon Cuneta’s DVDs was
confiscated before by airport officials but did you see her react the way
Claudine has reacted considering the fact that Sharon has more influence
politically and socially. No, she didn’t. She follows the rules as it is. So,
etong si Claudine eh may pagkabastos lang talaga!
Viewing the two sides of the coin,
Mon Tulfo is not the typical adorable guy whom you will
praise. He has acid tongue. He is frank. He is candid. He is straight–forward. But
what he is, he is. You don’t have to
make adjustment.
On the other hand, Claudine Barretto is an actress on and
off camera. She can mask her words and emotions perfectly. Not a single trace! It’s
almost indistinguishable whether she is telling the truth or not UNLESS caught
on camera!
I saw most of the comments at yahoo and youtube and “people
believe what they ought to believe.” Even if things are so obvious! People cannot
really decipher which one is right and which one is wrong and is really
pathetic!
On the part of the ground attendant,
She is doing a customer service job. That is one of the
most difficult job on planet earth. Dealing with unruly people. Dealing with
the unruliness of the company you are working with. I would like you to hear
this conversation in a local call center. Take note that this is voice over the
phone ONLY. It could be true or not but the thing is it can happen in real
life! What greater humiliation will it be for people who are “face to face”
with an irate customer where they are more vulnerable for physical attack!
