Veteran broadcast journalist Raffy Tulfo has debunked claims that he has already earned more than P2 billion on YouTube, but related that it is his dream to become a billionaire someday.
In a recent episode of his show Raffy Tulfo In Action, Tulfo reacted to reports saying that he has an estimated P2 billion revenue from his popular YouTube channel which has more than 15 million subscribers to date.
“Halos malaglag ako sa aking kinauupuan, nabilaukan at mapaso ang aking dila, at nadura ko ang kape ko,” said Tulfo sharing his reaction when he learned about the write-up from ABS-CBN.
“Ang layo po sa katotohanan. Hindi po ako bilyonaryo at never po akong kumita ng bilyon. Ever since na sinimulan ko po yung YouTube channel ko, hanggang ngayon pagsama-samahin po ‘yun hindi pa ho umaabot sa isang bilyon, much more 2 billion.”
Tulfo went on to say that even if his earnings from his career as a news anchor and his commercial endorsements were combined, his income wouldn’t still reach a million.
“But anyway dun sa sumulat. Salamat masyado kayong bilib sa akin. Thank you I appreciate it on the other hand na bilib sila. Pero sobrang bilib wag masyado. Wala po, walang katotohanan,” added Tulfo.
The TV host said that he can’t still afford to finish the construction of his house due to lack of budget, adding that he prioritizes spending money on charity.
“Hindi ko matapos-tapos yung bahay na yun dahil medyo kapos sa budget plus syempre mas uunahin ko yung pagtulong dahil iniisip ko eh ako naman nabubuhay ako nabibili ko lahat ng gusto ko, nakakain ko lahat ng gusto ko, nasusunod ko mga gusto ko eh meron diyan mas naghihirap sa akin so inuuna ko po ‘yun.
“‘Yan ba ‘yung bilyonaryo? Tumitira sa rental property na maraming daga at maraming ipis? No ang point ko lang dito hindi po, wala po akong bilyon.”
Even so, Tulfo reiterated that he wants to become a billionaire to fulfill his dreams.
“Bibili ako ng palengke. Doon ko ilalagay yung mga walang trabaho na gusto nating tulungan. Libre puhunan tapos ikaw na diyan. Sa kabilang banda naman papatayo ako ng eskuwelahan, elementary at high school.
“Pangarap ko talaga, sana po maging bilyonaryo talaga ko. Papatayo po ako ng palengkeng malaki libre puhunan sa lahat ng mga gusto kong tulungan na mga nangangailangan at mahirap.”
