Solon seeks ban of products containing GMOs in food and agriculture

A lawmaker has vowed a no let-up campaign to ban genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the country despite the recent government-issuance of a new set of guidelines on GMOs.

Rep. Fernando Hicap (Party-list, Anakpawis) said the approval of the new set of rules on the propagation and sale of GMOs only made him more resolute and determined to push for the approval of his bill prohibiting the use of products containing GMOs on food and agriculture.
