Livestock raisers in Negros Occidental yesterday appealed to the provincial government to hasten the release of the recommendations on the ordinance banning Genetically Modified Organisms in Negros Occidental. Albert Lim Jr., president of the Negros Occidental Hog Raisers Association, said they are appealing for the ad hoc committee discussing the GMO issue to release the results of its discussions on the matter. He noted that the ordinance continues to put a halt to their use of GMO corn to feed their hogs and chickens as they wait for the recommendations.
