The Green Party of the Philippines joins other greens in our continued opposition to this GMO rice and other GMOs in food and agriculture. Its vitamin A supplementation is unnecessary as many types of local vegetables are already providing this in Filipino diets. The control of corporations over seeds of GMO crops that results from every GMO technology will dis-empower further our farmers and ultimately all consumers. Safety considerations are not the only issues that matter here, not that we trust the supposed "safety clearances" provided by other countries where GMOs have been feed to the public with unknown consequences.
