co-anchor with his two other brothers for T3. In addition, Ben offered TV5 his Pinoy US Cops to be shown at TV5's sister television station AksyonTV. 2013 was a rough year for TV5 as it faced ailing finances. This does not stop him from staying as a talent-host for T3 together with Erwin and Raffy. However, T3 officially folded up in April 2016. This caused the brothers to part ways with separate commitments within the network. In June 2017, Ben and Erwin decided to cut ties with TV5. He also pulled out BITAG Live and later moved to PTV-4. BITAG According to Ben Tulfo, the concept of BITAG was conceived during a Maundy Thursday (March 28) vacation at the Plantation Bay in Mactan, Cebu, back in 2002, with the unique idea of a documentary reality (often shortened as “docu-reality”) show.

As of 2011, BITAG and BITAG Live were still airing on their respective channels. BITAG was with IBC-13, while BITAG Live aired in the morning on UNTV.
