Tulfo is accused of cyber libel, according to a statement shared with the media.
As reported by municipal police records, he was detained inside the quadrangle of the Manila Municipal Hall in Ermita, Manila, at 10:05 a.m. by members of the Special Mayor’s Reaction Team (SMaRT) and the Manila Police Department (MPD).
