De Leon: Netflix, move over, here comes ‘Tulfo and Chill’

Patrick Joven S. De Leon

THE top 10 YouTube channels few months ago pulled in roughly 16.6 billion total views, with the top two earning at least three billion views each.

Four of the top 10 also increased their rankings in recent months.

Clearly, many of the most-viewed YouTube channels hail from the United States. But even more countries and languages are starting to roll up across multiple categories on the leaderboards each time.

And then there’s the Philippines’ very own “Raffy Tulfo in Action.”

The official YouTube channel of the news and politics journalist landed in the top 100 in July at number 87, and catapulted 28 spots last August to claim number 59.

And the rest is history.

It became the millennials’ newest reason to look forward to on weekends.

The show has been a go-to place for people who have serious melodramatic problems, now it has become a place to look for meme-worthy moments on the internet.

But the fun does not end there.

If you are you one of those who binge on those Tulfo shows for the sake of laughs and to kill time? There’s an application for that!

Yes. Recently, the app Tulflix surfaced at the Google Play Store, and it does what it is intended to do: compile all Tulfo shows with one app. The logo is reminiscent of Netflix, and it features three tabs: latest, popular, and live.

Presently, the app lacks a search bar and does not have the other Tulfo episodes, so will you look forward for it to be further developed by the brilliant minds behind it? Either way we can all say: “Pinoy talaga. Ang taba ng isip.”

Stay active until our next chat!

WHERE’S THE WATER? Water is sparse at the Jaclupan wellfield in Talisay City in this photo provided by the Metropolitan Cebu Water District (MCWD) on Friday, April 26, 2024. Completed in 1998, MCWD’s Jaclupan facility, officially known as the Mananga Phase I Project, catches, impounds and pumps out around 30,000 cubic meters of water per day under normal circumstances. However, on Friday, MCWD spokesperson Minerva Gerodias said the facility’s daily production had plummeted to 8,000 cubic meters per day, or just about a quarter of its normal capacity, as Cebu grapples with the effects of the drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which is expected to persist until the end of May. The facility supplies water to consumers in Talisay City and Cebu City. /
