English: It can be recalled that during the Senate budget hearing for the Department of National Defense (DND) in September 2022, Tulfo lamented the soldiers' meager subsistence allowance of P150 per day, which they stretch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. He said such amount is not enough to buy a decent hamburger.
Filipino: Matatandaang sa pagdinig ng budget ng Senado para sa Department of National Defense (DND) noong Setyembre 2022, binatikos ni Tulfo ang kakarampot na subsistence allowance ng mga sundalo na P150 kada araw, na tinitipid nila para sa almusal, tanghalian, at hapunan. Aniya, hindi sapat ang ganoong halaga para makabili ng disenteng hamburger.
