INTRODUCTION

Genetic Modified Organisms (GMO’s) are organisms whose genetic modification of heritable genetic

modification of heritable genetic material (DNA) is planned amendment to the unnatural way by applying

modern techniques of genetic engineering, o a gene or genes from one organisms are inserted into another

organisms, what in nature with a natural breeding would never be created. GMO’s are source of modified

laboratory food, supplements and various additives.

The subject of this research paper is to see the impact of genetically modified organisms produced by Philippine

researchers.

In the case of the Philippines, it has the highest poverty incidence among its Association of Southeast Asian

Nations peers. With a national poverty of 28.8 percent, according to World Bank data, the Philippines has a lot

of work to do to alleviate poverty and address issue of public health, such as VAD.

This is where GMO, such as the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) corn, Bt talong (eggplant) and Golden rice, enters

solution to relieve and, eventually, end the battles against VAD and hunger; and give the farmers a chance to

provide food while farming sustainability and efficiently without a threat of having shortage or attacks of

insects that kill their crops, GMO experts and advocates say.

Genetic modification (GM) is the area of biotechnology which concerns itself with the manipulation of the

genetic material in living organisms, enabling them to perform specific function.

he genetic modification of crop plants from the methodology involved in their production through to the current

debate on their use in agriculture are reviewed. Techniques for plant transformation by Agrobacterium

tumefaciens and particle bombardment, and for the selection of transgenic plants using marker genes are

described. The benefits of currently available genetically modified (GM) crops in reducing waste and

agrochemical use in agriculture, and the potential of the technology for further crop improvement in the future
are discussed. The legal requirements for containment of novel GM crops and the roles of relevant regulatory

bodies in ensuring that GM crops and food are safe are summarized. Some of the major concerns of the general

public regarding GM crops and food: segregation of GM and non-GM crops and cross-pollination between GM

crops and wild species, the use of antibiotic resistance marker genes, the prevention of new allergens being

introduced in to the food chain and the relative safety of GM and non-GM foods are considered. Finally, the

current debate on the use of GM crops in agriculture and the need for the government, scientists and industry to

persevere with the technology in the face of widespread hostility is studied.

METHODOLOGY

This research conducted to investigate and analyse the impact of genetically modified organisms produced by

Philippine researchers. All the data collected and generated in this study was came from different accredited

sites in social media.

RESULTS

RECOMMENDATION

1. We recommend accordingly that all applications for GM crops to be approved for commercial planting

should be accompanied by a statement of the way in which the planting is expected to be managed in the

field

2. We further recommend that the regulators and the government advisory committees should also explore

the pros and cons of adopting a more explicit risk/benefit assessment in advising on individual cases
