Philippine election body requires AI disclosure and bans deepfakes in 2025 campaign

See how this story connects

The Commission on Elections released Resolution No. 11064 in September 2024, setting rules for online campaigning in the 2025 national and local elections. Candidates and parties must register their social media accounts and sites by 13 December 2024 and disclose AI-generated or manipulated content with readable or audible disclaimers. Using fake accounts, bots or deepfakes to spread disinformation about candidates or the electoral process is prohibited, and Comelec can ask platforms to take such content down.

Why it matters

Philippine candidates, parties and campaign agencies faced disclosure duties and takedown requests for AI content in the May 2025 midterm elections.
