In May 2025, DA issued Department Circular No. 09 (DC9), creating a new category called “Developed Resistance” (DR) varieties—crop varieties that have acquired resistance traits (e.g., to herbicides or pests) through "natural cross-pollination" with GM varieties.

We must reject this system and embrace farmer-led agroecology—a people-centered and farmed-led approach to agriculture rooted in sustainable practices, biodiversity, and social justice. Read our full statement here:

The Bhopal tragedy, four decades ago, reminds us of the urgent need for transformative change. The corporate-controlled agricultural model that led to Bhopal’s horrors is the same model that perpetuates the use of harmful chemicals like glyphosate in our farmlands.

Yet, in the Philippines, glyphosate remains widely used, leaving Filipino farmers vulnerable to its devastating health and environmental impacts. Read our research:

MASIPAG’s research in Capiz reveals alarming rates of contamination, with glyphosate polluting water sources and leading to an increase in cancer cases and other serious illnesses in farming communities. Globally, over 125,000 lawsuits have been filed against Bayer for glyphosate.
