The radio personality&#x27;s <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/tulfo-tirade-vs-dswd-chief-among-reasons-for-escorts-recall-albayalde">police escorts were removed</a> while 2 Marines were recalled from the security detail of his elder brother, special envoy Ramon Tulfo. </p><p>The elder Tulfo&#x27;s military security was removed due to a <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/02/19/recall-of-tulfos-security-detail-unrelated-to-bros-tirade-vs-dswd-chief-afp">shortage of personnel</a>, said the Armed Forces spokesman, Brig. Gen. Edgard Arevalo.</p><p>&quot;Kung mayroon ding security si Ginoong Erwin Tulfo, malamang ang pangunahing dahilan kung bakit mare-recall ito is because of his very unprofessional conduct doon sa kaniyang programa. Ikalawa na po iyong pangangailangan natin ng tropa,&quot; he told radio DZMM. </p><p>(If Mr. Erwin Tulfo also had military escorts, the main reason probably for their removal is because of his very unprofessional conduct in his radio program. Second is our need for troops.) </p><p>Malacañang said on Monday it supports Bautista but also urged the parties to <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/06/03/19/palace-backs-ex-army-chief-over-tulfo-urges-parties-to-move-on">move forward</a> from the incident. </p><p>The Philippine Military Academy Alumni Association defended Bautista, saying he has done more for the country than Tulfo.</p><p>Bautista, the former commander of the Presidential Security Group, the 1st Infantry Division, and Joint Task Force Marawi, was in the frontlines during the height of the Marawi siege, earning the respect of military men who fought alongside him.</p>
