🔴LIVE NOW:Top Lawyer Break Silence Raffy Tulfo Erwin Tulfo Vivamax Sotto lacson Jessica in Plenary

The rumors linking an Erwin Tulfo-related issue to a girl and a tip are actually a mix-up of two separate controversies. The first involves his brother, Sen. Raffy Tulfo, being associated with a Vivamax actress's blind item, while the second involves Erwin himself being accused of receiving suitcases of cash (or "tips" in the form of bribes) during a Senate probe.In late 2025, an interview with Vivamax actress Chelsea Ylore went viral where she shared a blind item about receiving a ₱250,000 to ₱300,000 tip from a senator even without any intimate encounter. Because she gave a clue about the lawmaker's name having the letters "R," "Y," and "F," netizens widely speculated the politician was Sen. Raffy Tulfo.Separately, Sen. Erwin Tulfo was dragged into a major controversy involving claims that he and other lawmakers received "suitcases of cash" from former Marines in connection with the flood control project scandal. During a Senate inquiry by another bloc, self-identified former Marines alleged that bribes were delivered in this manner.
