🗳️During election campaign, the media plays a key role in helping voters to make an informed choice on election day. That’s why the EU Election Observation Mission to the Philippines set up a Media Monitoring Unit. The monitoring team included the EU EOM Media Analyst and seven experienced Philippine media professionals. They analysed the campaign coverage across a variety of TV channels, radio stations, and online media.

At the invitation of the Government and the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Philippines, the European Union deployed an Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) to observe the 2025 national midterm elections, the first full-fledged EOM deployed by the EU in the country. The mission was led by Chief Observer and member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Portugal, Marta Temido. A core team of 12 analysts arrived in the country on 28 March. The mission was strengthened with the arrival of 72 long term observers (LTOs), who were deployed across all regions of the country between 10 April and 22 May, and 104 short-term observers (STOs) deployed between 3 and 18 May. The mission was joined by locally recruited short term observers from the EU Member States diplomatic community resident in the Philippines. A delegation of six members of the European Parliament (EP), led by Vladimir Prebilič, joined the EU EOM for the observation of the election day and endorsed its preliminary statement. This brought the full mission strength to 226 accredited observers from 25 EU member States, Canada, Switzerland and Norway. The EU EOM remained in the country until 2 June 2025 to observe the canvassing, the proclamation of results and the post-election developments. The mission assessed the electoral process against international and regional standards for democratic elections as well as the laws of the Philippines. The final report presents a detailed assessment of the findings of the mission on the various stages of the electoral process, including the announcement of the official results and related post-election events until the departure of the mission on 1 June 2025. The report contains 21 recommendations aimed at contributing to the improvement of future electoral processes in the Philippines.
