New Rules for the 2019 Election Game

Those who really want to win the election battleground must know the new rules set by the Commission on Election (COMELEC).

With the advocacy to educate all candidates, campaign managers, partylist groups, poll watchers, supporters, lawyers, accountants, sponsors, stakeholders and voters, the Center for Global Best Practices will host two pioneering programs:


Date: Friday, March 29, 2019 
Venue: Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City, Philippines



2) Best Practices on How to Prepare your Statementof Contributions & Expenditures (SOCE)
Date: Thursday, May 30, 2019
Venue: EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City, Philippines

The 2019 General Instructions (GI) on the Election Automation Law recently released by COMELEC is considered the bible of rules that must be followed by all candidates, poll watchers, lawyers and other practitioners in the campaign and election exercises.
In any question of the law and procedures, this is the official reference for all those actively seeking public office and for those in the service of protecting votes and ballots. This is the only program that will lay down its entire blueprint and will provide you with the complete guide on its implementing rules and regulations (IRR) on the poll automation law.

When disputes or irregularities arises on election matters, you can invoke the GI. Mastery of its content is valuable for those participating in this election.

Learning “How to Prepare your Statement of Contributions & Expenditures” (SOCE) will eliminate the dangers of perpetual disqualification by COMELEC. Material errors or non-submission of SOCE is a ground for such penalty. Winning candidates cannot assume office without submitting their SOCE in its proper form and substance.

This one-day training will be your definitive guide to the Campaign Finance Regulations for the May 13, 2019 elections. In this program, attendees will be guided on how to prepare the 11 forms required for SOCE. Attendees will gain valuable insights on what is lawful and unlawful campaign paraphernalia, the limits of expense, time and space for political ads such as billboards, streamers, movies, documentaries, radio, TV, newspaper, and other social media that should all be reflected in your SOCE.


This program will feature former head of COMELEC Law Department, Atty. Ferdinand T. Rafanan. Currently, he is a regional trial court judge assigned in Mandaue branch 55 which is a special court handling election cases. He was also the Chairman of the Special Bids & Awards Committee of COMELEC to select the Automated Election System for the May 10, 2010 elections.

He’s an MCLE Lecturer in Election Law and the Law on Automated Elections. He conceptualized the “ELECTVOICE” (Election Law Enforcement and Compliance Thru Voters Instruction and Candidates Education). He graduated from UP Law in 1983 as an Owen White-Peter Doyle Scholar.
