The ACT-CIS Partylist, officially the Anti-Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support Partylist,[1] is a political organization which has party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines. They are supported primarily by radio and television broadcasters brothers Raffy Tulfo and Erwin Tulfo.[2]

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

According to election watchdog Kontra Daya, representation of marginalized groups 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.[4] 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.[4][5]
