The fate of the controversial ordinance banning the entry of genetically-modified organisms into Negros Occidental, the implementation of which was opposed by livestock and poultry growers, as well as sugar producers remains hanging, after none of its members raised the issue in two regular sessions of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. Vice Governor Emilio Yulo III yesterday said he has already provided copies of the recommendation of the ad hoc committee tasked to study the questioned ordinance, to each member of the SP. Yulo said the ordinance remains valid, unless it is repealed, amended or modified.
