Judge Evangeline Castillo-Marigomen granted the petition filed by the environmental group Greenpeace, which was joined by other personalities such actress Angel Aquino, models Amanda Claire Griffin and Angel Aquino, and beauty queen Anna Theresa Licaros, asking that the government be restrained from allowing Bayer Philippines Inc. to import Liberty Link Rice 62 (LLR62).
