Bacolod (Philippines) ordinance banning GMOs to stay

The ordinance banning the entry of genetically-modified organisms in the city will stay despite varied apprehensions but it will be implemented with consideration of all concerned sectors, the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Agriculture said yesterday. Councilor Alex Paglumotan, committee chairperson, said at a public hearing that there is no coming repeal of City Ordinance No. 485. Paglumotan, however, assured that all sectors, including livestock raisers, environmentalists, and organic farming advocates, will benefit from the implementation of the law.
