But, Valdez-Garcia asigned as its news anchor because of the controversy of his Sisters Eula and Jean <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> joined Borromeo weeks later but left some months Brand New Late-Night-Newscast  Sentro<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">as both would answer calls and discuss subjects on air equally in addition to having his own segment on its main show. The pairing did not last long and Sentro s title has since reverted to the previous title  <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;">when necessary.There were times His Guest Anchor Erwin Tulfo handled certain Sentro cases and encounters the suspects themselves in lieu of Eula and Jean, particularly in sensitive cases that requires a little more restraint <span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> Perhaps the shows main draw is its host (and also producer and director)  Ben Tulfo<span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22.3999996185303px;"> who subscribes to the adage "it takes a wolf to catch a wolf" which, more often that not, leads to precarious situations that he immerses himself with gusto. Each case, Ben finds himself getting in the face of his subjects, be it ordinary suspects or policemen - sparring verbally (often laced with profanity) and at times, physically. Being the shows producer as well, he prefers an approach and presentation that lets the viewers see the true face of reality, no matter how grim or disturbing it is - the lack of a formal script means no dramatizations or re-enactments, as said by the shows tagline, "Hindi ito drama, di tulad ng iba!", and guarantees audiences of raw, documented footage of events as they happened.
