Luchi Cruz Valdez now helms TV 5 News and Public Affairs

TV 5 NEWS and Public Affairs is now headed by Luchi Cruz Valdez, who used to be with GMA-7 and ABS-CBN. "We're preparing totally new shows that we intend to start by APril 4," she says. "But we'll have a sort of soft opening first this weekend with two new investigative show, 'Tutok Tulfo' with Erwin Tulfo on Saturday and 'USI' with Paolo Bediones on Sunday, both at 5:30 PM. Patikim pa lang ito."

"Tutok Tulfo" is action-oriented. "Public service ito but I'll not just do exposes like other shows," says Erwin. "I'll make sure may solution and we won't leave complainants hanging on the air. Di talaga namin bibitiwan hangga't di tapos. Sa pilot episode, we'll show victims of a towing company. Very common ngayon yan. Kahit may nakasakay na driver, tino-tow pa rin, so we'll delve into that. Tapos, we'll also show an OFW na naaksidente sa abroad, tapos walang makuhang benefits. Yung mahilig sa dirty ice cream, they should watch as we'll show kung malinis ba o dirty talaga ang ice cream sold in our streets. Meron din kaming 'Karinyo Tulfo' portion kunsaan bukas-palad kaming tutulong sa citizens nating gustong magbagumbuhay."

If you have complaints against any form of injustice, you can email Erwin at tutoktulfo@tv5.com.ph, or you can call them at 0919-9988-865. Erwin says all footage shown in his show will be real. "Walang staged gaya ng nangyayari sa ibang shows and even sa news. We call such engineered reports as Drawing. We'll never do that dahil ang gusto ng boss namin (Manny Pangilinan) is to be the authority in news and public affairs and how can you be like that if you'd just do Drawing or staged scenes?"
