Multi-sector group calls : Hoops, pwera kampanya!!! stop ‘golden’ rice trade By Mark A. Cervantes
A nationwide movement of NGOs, schools, religious groups, farmers, environmentalists, artists and indigenous peoples is urging government to stop releasing golden rice due to health and environmental risks, as well as violations of other constitutional rights. “We will be exposing a very high number of Filipino people to these unnecessary risks, since 89% of 55 million Filipinos eat rice, and 12M Filipino farmers depend on rice farming for livelihood,” Normita Ignacio, executive director of the South
East Asian Regional Initiatives for Community Empowerment (SEARICE). SEARICE is part of the broad movement opposing for the commercialization of Golden Rice. The government has not conducted any independent tests to determine the effect of golden rice to the Filipino’s health and environment, Ignacio said. She added that recent developments in Europe have also discovered the existence of the ‘cauliflower virus’ in the ordinary gene sequence of GMOs, which poses dangerous health risks to humans; and prevents the plant to express resistance to pests and

CAGAYAN de Oro City – Hukom sa Korte Suprema… ‘walay early campaigning’. Kini nga reminder gipalanog ni City Election Officer Alile A. Ramirez tumong ngadto sa tanang local candidates ning dakbayan. “Dili unta ta mangampanya kay wala pa may actual nga local campaign period,” awhag ni Atty. Ramirez. Iyang gi-angkon nga wala silay kahimanan pagmonitor sa radio stations ug TV stations “mao nga honest -to goodness lang unta ang mga kandidato.” Hinoon, iyang gipasabot nga Marso 30 pa mosukad ang tanang bawal. “Sa pagkakaron, pwede sila mangampanya pero naa na sa mga tawo kung butohan nila
ang mga kandidatong dishonest,” matud niya. Sumala sa balaod, ang mga kandidatong adunay oras sa radyo ug television, gi-require paghatag og kopya sa ilahang advertisement contracts nganha sa Comelec. Samtang ang radio ug television stations nga midawat og anunsiyo sa mga politiko, kinahanglan usab nga mo-submit og report ug contract nganha sa Comelec. “Dili na sab allowed ang kontrata nga ibutang lang ‘Friends of…..’. Kinahanglang ibutang gayod ang ngalan sa nagpirma sa kontrata,” matud ni Atty. Ramirez. Sa national candidates, gidili sab ang pagpilit sa stickers ug kampanya /P5
