Teodolo Badillo, from Molave, Zamboanga del Sur, one of the 49 Rice Achiever awardees recognized by the national office of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and also chosen as Outstanding Organic Farmer in 2012. Organic farms use buffer zones – trees around their farms, filtration canal to protect integrity of their farms from chemicals in nearby farms.

Rafael “Ka Paeng” Mariano, Chairperson of the Peasant Movement of the Philippines (Kilusang Magbubukid ng Pilipinas) said the big agro-chemical corporations led by seed giant Monsanto stand to gain from railroaded Joint Department Circular No. 1, the new guidelines for GMOs.

Small farmers practice bayanihan (collective farming) in organic rice across the country. Shown in this picture is an organic rice farm in Bgy. Orong, in Kabankalan town, Negros Occidental which used to be part of the 50-hectare Hacienda Galang.
