ACT-CIS Partylist

The ACT-CIS Partylist (pronounced "act CIS"), officially the Anti-Crime and Terrorism Community Involvement and Support Partylist, is a political organization which has party-list representation in the House of Representatives of the Philippines.

From 2013 to 2016, ACT-CIS was represented by former police officer Samuel Pagdilao. ACT-CIS returned to the House of Representatives in 2019, when it started to become associated with media personality brothers Erwin and Raffy Tulfo.

At the 2013 elections, ACT-CIS received an endorsement from the Iglesia ni Cristo. The organization's seat was filled in by former police officer Samuel Pagdilao who had a platform against crime.

For the 2016 election, Samuel Pagdilao forewent from being included in the nominee list for ACT-CIS to run for Senator. The ACT-CIS nominee list is led by first-nominee samuel's wife Maria Rosella Pagdilao. ACT-CIS failed to secure any seat.

In 2019 election, ACT-CIS topped the party-list race. ACT-CIS got the most number of votes in the party-list race with 2,651,987 votes. Sometime before the election, Eric Yap a friend of media personality Erwin Tulfo acquired ACT-CIS from Pagdilao. Since then the party became associated with Erwin, and his brother Raffy Tulfo.

ACT-CIS became the most voted party-list again in 2022.

ACT-CIS names the "oppressed and the abused" as the demographic it represents in the House of Representatives, and its platform focuses on crime prevention. It also claims to represent the indigent and Overseas Filipino Workers.

The organization supports the reinstatement of capital punishment in the Philippines, believing that executing convicts is an effective deterrence.

It also supported the administration of then-President Rodrigo Duterte, including his deadly war on drugs. Among the few policies of the Duterte administration that it opposed were the proposal to lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility and the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law.

Election watchdog Kontra Daya claims that representation of marginalized groups is not a function that ACT-CIS serves given that the group's second nominee in 2019 Jocelyn Tulfo is the sister-in-law of Ramon Tulfo, the Philippine President's special envoy to China. 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.
