On July 18, 2025, a formal protest was filed before the University Electoral Board (UEB) concerning an Instagram story posted during the official Election Period for the 46th USC General Elections. The protest alleged that the content constituted indirect campaigning in violation of the Election Code.

General Resolution 2025-03, outlines the unanimous decision of the Hearing Panel to dismiss the protest, having determined that the content in question did not constitute electioneering under the UP Manila Amended Election Code. The panel found no partisan intent in the post and recognized it as a personal reflection in response to a broader social concern, rather than a coordinated campaign activity.

This resolution stands as part of our commitment to a fair, thoughtful, and rights-respecting electoral proceedings. The UEB highly values the active participation of students in safeguarding electoral integrity. But with this, we also recognize the importance of balance with the right to personal expression, especially when addressing matters of shared concern. We thank all parties involved for engaging in this process with respect and commitment to accountability.
