Filipinos are now conscious of their health and want to eat healthy food safe from toxic chemicals, Efren Moncupa, lead convenor of Go Organic! Philippines said.

As such, he said it is only proper for public markets to have an “organic” section where the health-conscious can buy organic food such as organically-grown products such as rice, vegetables and fruits.

Stop Con-Ass, Defend Democracy!

We, the Caucus of Development NGO Networks (CODE-NGO), are outraged by the shameless railroading of House Resolution No. 1109, which would empower Congress to convene as a constituent assembly (Con-ass) with the members of the two houses of Congress voting jointly instead of separately. It effectively paves the way for a Con-ass without the participation of the Senate.

97 Filipino farmers from PKSK, PAKISAMA and KATARUNGAN were arrested and are now being detained at a military camp in Quezon City, Philippines after defying orders not to enter the premises of the House of Representatives. The farmers protested the passage of House Resolution 1109, which allows for the formation of a Constituent Assembly, and for bypassing anew deliberations for the CARPer (HB 4077) bill. Today is the last day of Congress before it goes into recess again.
