Election & Political Law

Election work is deadline-driven and unforgiving: the certificate of candidacy, the campaign-finance report, the disqualification petition, and the protest each have their own ground, forum, and period, and missing one ends the matter. We advise candidates, political parties, campaign organizations, and donors on candidacy and eligibility questions, campaign finance and contribution limits, election offenses, and the petitions and protests that decide outcomes after the votes are counted — including the special rules that govern Bangsamoro parliamentary elections. Where a case has both an election and an administrative or criminal face, we run them together rather than in sequence.
