• The Philippinesis the first ASEAN country to
initiate a biotechnology regulatorysystem
with the issuanceof Executive OrderNo.
430 in 1990, which establishedthe National
Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines
(NCBP). The countries biosafety regulatory
system followsstrict scientificstandards and
has becomea model for member-countries
of the ASEAN seekingto becomeproducers
of agricultural biotechnologycrops.
• Agricultural biotechnologyis recognizedby
the Philippinegovernment as one of the
potent tools to attain food security and
sustainable agriculture,and promote health
and food/environmentalsafety. This section
traces the development of modern
agricultural biotechnologyin the country. It
contains a slideshowof notable milestone
events in the history of modern agricultural
biotechnology R&D in the Philippinesthat
evolvedsince 1970s.

2012
Philippinearea planted to biotech maize
reached750,000 ha.
In 2012, the area planted to biotech maize in the
Philippines is projected to increase to 750,000 hectares,
up 16% from the estimated hectares of biotech maize in
2011. Notably, the area occupied in 2012 by the stacked
traits of Bt/HT maize is 675,000 hectares, compared with
only 545,000 hectares in 2011, with the stacked trait
maize occupying 90% of total biotech maize hectares in
2012, reflecting the preferenceof farmers for stacked
traits and the superior benefits they offer over a single
trait.

  • 1. Biotechnology in the Philippines An Nicole Canaway Emil Gabriel Gabrang
  • 2. • The Philippinesis the first ASEAN country to initiate a biotechnology regulatorysystem with the issuanceof Executive OrderNo. 430 in 1990, which establishedthe National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines (NCBP). The countries biosafety regulatory system followsstrict scientificstandards and has becomea model for member-countries of the ASEAN seekingto becomeproducers of agricultural biotechnologycrops.
  • 3. • Agricultural biotechnologyis recognizedby the Philippinegovernment as one of the potent tools to attain food security and sustainable agriculture,and promote health and food/environmentalsafety. This section traces the development of modern agricultural biotechnologyin the country. It contains a slideshowof notable milestone events in the history of modern agricultural biotechnology R&D in the Philippinesthat evolvedsince 1970s.

  • 24. 2012 Philippinearea planted to biotech maize reached750,000 ha. In 2012, the area planted to biotech maize in the Philippines is projected to increase to 750,000 hectares, up 16% from the estimated hectares of biotech maize in 2011. Notably, the area occupied in 2012 by the stacked traits of Bt/HT maize is 675,000 hectares, compared with only 545,000 hectares in 2011, with the stacked trait maize occupying 90% of total biotech maize hectares in 2012, reflecting the preferenceof farmers for stacked traits and the superior benefits they offer over a single trait.
