In early May, 2010, a seven member delegation from the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) in the U.S. traveled to the Philippines to observe their 2010 elections.

The NLG delegation found more than ample evidence of election misconduct. Read about the specifics and their recommendations in NO SIMPLE FIX: Bribes, Bullets and Breakdowns in the 2010 Philippines Elections.
