I was already informed that there are moves from some sectors to reintroduce GM corn in the province of Oriental Mindoro despite provincial ordinance banning its propagation. This move is coming from the National Corn Board which submitted a Memorandum of Agreement to the Provincial Government of Oriental Mindoro under the guise of financial assistance of P1 million as part of Sen. Francis Pangilinan’s Sagip Saka Advocacy Project. [...] What’s really wrong about this program, however, is the insistence of the National Corn Board forthe use of genetically modified corn varieties especially in a province where organic agriculture is a priority and a ban on GMOs is in place.
