Garnering a historic vote of 2,651,987 votes, ACT-CIS Partylist was declared the number one partylist in the 2019 National Elections.[3]

The party-list system was set up to allow representation of marginalized groups.[4] However, according to election watchdog Kontra Daya, this is not a function that ACT-CIS serves given that the group’s second nominee Jocelyn Tulfo is the sister-in-law of Ramon Tulfo, the Philippine President’s special envoy to China.[5] She also has ties with former tourism secretary Wanda Tulfo Teo, who was implicated in allegations of an anomalous government transaction, according to Kontra Daya.[5][6]
