NOTES about JIMMY SALGADO, as related in my book “The PRESIDENT and Her MEN KISS the ASS of RAMON TULFO”

SALGADO is mentioned more than 30 times in my book.

He is the agent and runner at Customs of the TULFO Brothers and REY LANGIT (who was CAUGHT ENGAGED in SMUGGLING).

Even CUSTOMS COMMISSIONERS FEAR HIM!!!

In 1998, he fronted for RAMON TULFO in a P500,000.00 EXTORTION ATTEMPT on the Brothers of Customs Commissioner Guillermo L. Parayno, Jr. The extortion attempt was made on the week Tulfo used his Philippine Daily Inquirer column to print many lies (over ten invented lies) about the Commissioner and his brothers. .

He bragged that during his first two years as Publisher of TRADE WINDS (a weekly paper circulated mostly at Customs ports in Manila and in which both RAMON and RAFFY TULFO are columnists) he spent P530,000.00 a month to put out the weekly paper.
