On December 17, the Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte ordered the uprooting of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) eggplants at the field test site inside the University of the Philippines-Mindanao campus in Mintal.
Is it really harmful to our health? Why does the government or some academic institutions is pushing for genetically-modified plants?
Personally, I’m not in favor of any genetically-modified plants. Why can’t the government support or promote indigenous practices instead of the multi-national companies? Farmers have survived for years using traditional methods.
Do we have a shortage of eggplant supply? Academic freedom, yes. But please show some respect to the local government officials.

Unlike last week in Samal Island, where President Arroyo made a quick appearance before the press. This time in Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. It’s better , she stayed for about 15 minutes and left for Cagayan de Oro City. What happened in Sta Cruz, well…photo ops and nothing. Still wondering what was her purpose in this recent visit.

When President Arroyo visited the Marineculture park in Samal Island, Davao Del Norte today, it took her about a minute to wear the gloves and it only took her about a blink of an eye in feeding the bangus fingerlings, which is suppose to be the most awaited moment by the photojournalist and videjournalists. Just one stroke and she’s done!
Whew, it’s always like than when covering Presidential sorties in the province. It would eat most of your time on the road or waiting for the President before capturing what we call “the decisive moment” in just a fraction of second.
