"Illegal" farmers label Bt corn field

Filipino farmers, supported by Greenpeace, today occupied and label as "illegal" a one-hectare field of genetically-engineered (GE) Bt corn in Naujan, Oriental Mindoro, 140 km South of Manila, as they called on US-based bio-tech corporation Monsanto to respect the law and stop contaminating their province with GMOs.
