Stay green, not black, dads urged
Greenpeace, a global campaigner for the protection and conservation of the environment, led a rally yesterday afternoon calling on the Negros Occidental Sanggunian to preserve the province as the country’s organic farming capital. About 100 farmers and members of church and civic groups gathered in front of the provincial Capitol in Bacolod to press members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan to uphold Provincial Ordinance 007, which bans the entry of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and secures the future of Negros as the organic farming capital of the Philippines.
