Controversies
On the 8th of May in 2018, Wanda Corazon Teo made headlines after she resigned, following the Commission on audit discovery that she had transferred P60 million in tourism ads to Kilos Pronto, where this broadcaster works with his brother Ben. What was interesting to the audit team was the fact that there was no contract signed or the existence of a memorandum of agreement.
Wanda defended herself by claiming that she was not aware that her brothers were responsible for running this specific TV show. Later on, the two Tulfo brothers assured the government that they would return the 60 million pesos that their sister had given them. On the 17th of June in 2018, reports were made that Erwin and Ben were yet to return the P60 million they owed the government.
As a result, Trillanes announced that he would press charges against the former Tourism Secretary, Wanda Corazon Teo, and her two brothers, Erwin and Ben. On the 31st of May, in 2019, this broadcaster went in an on-air rant to condemn the Social Welfare Secretary, Mr. Rolando Bautista.
The reason for his tirade was because Mr. Rolando Bautista had rejected Erwin to interview with him. Following the on-air diatribe, numerous petitioners demanded that this radio and television personality apologize to the current secretary of Social Welfare.
