Various groups against genetically modified organisms on Friday urged the Supreme Court to issue a temporary environment protection order to stop the continuous field testing of BT talong by the government. [...] "We praise the Supreme Court for acting swiftly on the petition of the people to stop the Bacillus thuringiensis eggplant field testing. Through the issuance of the Writ of Kalikasan, it has temporarily stopped the new application of permits to field test Bt talong," Dr. Chito Medina, national Coordinator of farmer-scientis group MASIPAG, said.
