Criticism
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 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]
