Science Communicators Philippines (SciCommPH) has called for an independent assessment of the proposed Pax Silica industrial hub, saying the government should disclose the project’s terms and potential environmental and social impact before making binding commitments.
At a media forum on “Biotechnology R&D and Regulatory Landscape in the Philippines” held on October 14, experts from leading scientific institutions reported significant advances in gene-edited and genetically engineered crops— innovations poised to reshape the country’s food systems.
SciCommPH and Searca will collaborate in promoting S&T as a game-changer in social and economic development by highlighting its relevance and practical use by Filipinos.
