Raffy Tulfo filed his COC for senator in the 2022 elections.
On Saturday, broadcaster Raffy Tulfo officially filed his certificate of candidacy for senator as an independent candidate in the 2022 elections.
Tulfo arrived past 1:30 pm at the Harbor Garden Tent in Sofitel Philippine Plaza Manila in Pasay City.
He, who has more than 21 million subscribers on YouTube, said that he’s confident that his subscribers will support him.
Tulfo added that the reason why he filed his COC as an independent candidate was that he didn’t want to take sides.
“Ang mga kapos palad na kababayan kailangan ng mas sapat na proteksyon sa ating batas. ‘Yan po ang isang dahilan kung bakit ako nandito ngayon sa harap niyo,” Tulfo said.
When asked about the programs and laws he wanted to push forward if elected as senator, he said that he would focus on issues related to overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and labor.

Tulfo on Friday bid farewell to “Frontline Pilipinas” which he co-anchored for nearly a year.
According to the broadcaster, there’s a mix of sadness and happiness in how he felt that he’s saying goodbye in TV5’s primetime newscast.
“Saan man po kami makarating, kayo po palagi ay nasa isipan namin. Huwag ho kayong mag-alala, lalo pong lalakas ang Raffy Tulfo in Action, that I promise you. Trust me,” Tulfo said in his farewell speech.
ABS-CBN News reported that Tulfo started his broadcasting career in the early ‘90s and shared the screen with his brothers Ramon, Ben, and Erwin over the years.
The broadcaster had become known for addressing citizen complaints that would prompt government action, and later, for being a mediator in conflicts in the workplace, and between private individuals and couples.
