Philippines Follows Bangladesh To Clear GM Eggplant
The Philippines has approved the commercial cultivation of Bt eggplant, a genetically modified variety resistant to pests, becoming the second country after Bangladesh to do so. The approval was announced by the University of the Philippines Los Baños, following a previous green light for its use as animal feed. Despite legal challenges and a Supreme Court reversal in 2016, the Bt eggplant, developed from a soil bacterium protein, promises increased productivity and safety due to reduced insecticide use. The Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development highlighted the specificity and safety of the Bt protein, while researchers focus on educating growers about compliance with resistance management.
Philippines battles spike in measles cases
The Philippines is experiencing a measles outbreak with 189 deaths and 11,459 confirmed cases reported from January 1 to February 20. Vaccine hesitancy, partly due to the Dengvaxia controversy, is a significant factor contributing to the outbreak. The Department of Health and WHO are working to improve immunization programs and public trust in vaccines, which has declined sharply. President Duterte and the Catholic Church have urged the public to vaccinate their children. A massive immunization drive is underway, with efforts to make vaccines more accessible, including house-to-house campaigns and vaccination centers in malls.
