Election

Philippine elections are won twice — at the ballot box, and in the proceedings that follow. We act for candidates, incumbents, and political parties through the entire cycle, before the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and the courts.

The candidacy

Certificates of candidacy, eligibility questions, and disqualification cases — prosecuted and defended. Disqualification is the modern weapon of Philippine election law, and we handle it live: petitions before the COMELEC where a candidacy, and everything a campaign has invested, is on the line.

The campaign and the count

Campaign compliance — contribution and spending rules, and the statements of contributions and expenditures filed after the vote — plus election-day operations: training your watchers and campaign staff on the rules that matter at the precinct, and standing by during the count and canvass.

After the proclamation

Election protests and quasi-judicial proceedings before the COMELEC and the electoral tribunals. Our partners have practiced election law at the national level. It is high-pressure, deadline-driven work — the kind this firm was built on.

Who we act for

Candidates and incumbents from local races to national office, political parties, and campaign organizations. We value free, fair, and transparent elections; protecting a client's rights through the process is how a law firm contributes to that.
