The Ifugao province has declared itself free from genetically modified organisms (GMO), officials said Tuesday. Encouraging organic farming, Gov.Teddy Baguilat, Jr., Mayor Lino Madchiw, Greenpeace campaigner for Southeast Asia Daniel Ocampo and Cathy Untalan, executive director of Miss Earth Foundation, unveiled a GMO-free marker at the Dianara Viewpoint here. ”The Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)-free campaign should be a national campaign.
