Description: Corruption, threats, & killings are still there.

Cynthia Palmaria provides us with a comprehensive overview of the goings on in the time leading up to the May 10 2010 Philippines general election. She speaks about several of the controversies during election time this time around, updates us with recent news from foreign election watchers of the People's International Observer's Mission (many of which are Canadian), and criticizes the Gloria-Macapagal Arroyo government of occupation for heightened state repression, political killings, and other injustices during election time. Special focus is made on two progressive partylists groups running who are amoungst the several partylists that have candidates that are actually not for the rich and actually are dedicated to combating the grinding poverty in the Philippines: GABRIELA Women's Party and Bayan Muna.
