[VIDEO]: Commission on Appointments bypassed Tulfo’s appointment again
Senator Migz Zubiri is Sorry
Senator Migz Zubiri said that he’s sorry that the Commission on Elections has to bypass the appointment of DSWD Secretary Raffy Tulfo. He’s an efficient and hardworking government servant but he has 2 issues that are against the constitution, added Zubiri.
American Citizenship
The Senator points out that they need a certification saying that Tulfo is not, anymore an American citizen. The CA is not convinced otherwise. There are many conflicting matters on this issue, according to Zubiri. But this is not the only reason for the CA’s rejection of Tulfo.
Libel Conviction
The libel conviction of Tulfo is final. This is a case of legal turpitude. That describes wicked, deviant behavior constituting an immoral, unethical, or unjust departure from ordinary social standards such that it would shock a community.
