Biosafety Regulations
A way of looking at how policy develops …
• Streams and Window Policy Model (Kingdon, 1995)
Problem Stream
Public matters needing attention
Policy Stream
Proposals for change (at least 1 ready)
3 streams are always flowing
Politics Stream
Receptive political climate
Policy window
For policy
change
Policy entrepreneurs are people who
promote solutions.

Test)
o More detailed on field release
o Note: Legally, the regulation of exotic plants belongs to the Plant
Quarantine Service of BPI and the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) for
exotic animals; both of DA 4
Creation: DA Administrative Order 8 – 2002
• Public matters needing attention
o NCBP recognized the need for assessment that includes short and long term effects of GMOs on
the environment and human health
o Bt Corn: contained experiments (1996 and 1997); field trials (1998 and 200)
o Locally developed GM crops contained experiments: 1997-2000 controlled ripening papaya,
bacterial blight resistant rice, introduction of beta carotene in rice varieties 6
• Proposal for change
o DA developed draft guidelines that includes evaluation for commercialization propagation
• Political climate
o National policy statement on modern biotechnology was endorsed by cabinet secretaries and
signed by Fmr. Pres. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2001
• “we shall promote the safe and responsible use of modern biotechnology…to achieve and
attain food security”
o DA AO 8 signed in April 2002
4, 5

Experience with Bt Corn
• Corn is the second most important agricultural crop in the Philippines 8
• Asian Corn Borer Yield: losses 30-100% 8
• Bt Corn (MON 810) can reduce ACB problem
o Approved for commercial propagation in December 2002 under DA AO 85;
o The gene was in varieties preferred for feed
• Impact to farmers in the 1st year of Bt Corn
o Unit yield increases of as much as 37%
o Pesticide savings of 60%
o Translating to an additional profit of PhP 10,132/ha. 9
• The academics/scientists who had to explain what GMOs and biosafety to the
public10
• Farmers who saw the field trials believed in the technology and spoke out 10

Creation: Executive Order 514 - 2006
• Public matters needing attention
o Cartagena Protocol: Philippines became a signatory in 2000; Entry into force 2007
o Philippines became a beneficiary of the UNEP GEF Project on Development of National
Biosafety Frameworks (NBF) in October 2002
o Thus an NBF was drafted
• Proposal for change
o DENR is focal agency to the Convention on Biological Diversity
o DENR PAWB: Drafting of NBF
• Political climate
o Project’s Coordinating Committee and DENR Sec  to Secretaries of DA, DOST, DOH,
DTI, DILG, and DFA, for concurrence, and/or endorsement or further comments  For
approval by the Office of the President  signed by Fmr. Pres. Gloria Macapagal-
Arroyo in 2006

11 DENR PAWB, 2004
Highlights: EO 514 - 2006
• NCBP became a policy body; Chair is DOST Sec;
o Members Secretaries of DA, DENR, DOH, DTI, DILG, DFA, plus other sectors
o DTI, DILG, DFA classified as associated Departments (Sec. 4.11)
• Provision for transition from EO 430 to EO 514 (Sec 5.4)
• DA, DENR, DOH, and DOST had separate mandates
Mandate Focal (Art 19 Cartagena Protocol)
DA Biosafety issues related to food security Evaluating and monitoring plant and plant
products as provided for in DA A0 08
DENR Ensure that environmental assessments are
done
Bioremediation, forest genetic resources, and
wildlife genetic resources
Sustainable use of biodiversity.
DOH Health impacts
Evaluating and monitoring processed food
Pharmaceuticals
DOST Ensuring that the best available science is used Contained use
Impact of GM corn to society
• Let’s pick a sample year: 2015
– Benefited 350,000 resource poor
farmers15
– Half the area of corn for feed is GM
• Yellow corn: 1,296,440.30 ha16;
• GM corn: 688,218.10 ha14
– Unquantified impact of GM corn to
the livestock industry
• Chicken 1,660,800 MT liveweight 17
• Hog 2,120,300 MT liveweight 17
– Direct use food, feed, fiber

Creation: JDC 1 - 2016
• Public matters needing attention
o Court case filed against the Bt Eggplant in 2012 (Writ of Kalikasan,
and others)
o DA AO 08 declared null and void in December 2015
• Proposal for change
o Drafting and consultations for new regulations to replace DA AO 8
o New regulation to comply with legal interpretations on biosafety
regulations
• Political climate
o JDC 1-2016 signed in March 2016 by Department Secretaries
Highlight: JDC 1 - 2016

What is the situation after JDC 1-2016 was signed?
• In July 2016, the Supreme Court stated set aside its December 2015 ruling
o The Bt eggplant field trials were already completed by the time the Court of
Appeals gave it’s decision in May 17, 2013
o DAO 08-2002 has already been superseded by JDC No. 1, series of 2016
o “the Court should not have even delved into the constitutionality of DAO 08-2002”
• Applications per year is less, yet decision time is longer

The Program for Biosafety Systems
Who we are
• Operations in Africa and Asia
• Sustained on-the-ground support
• Science-based regulatory services
• Independent policy research by IFPRI
that informs decision-makers
Activities in the Philippines
• Early focus on DA
– Risk assessment
– Insect Resistance Management
• Expanded capacity building to DENR & DoH
• Information sharing and capacity building
on focused topics
– Biosafety and law
– Socio-economic impacts and considerations
– Public participation
– GM food labeling
– Others
• Information sharing with other countries:
Kenya, Vietnam, Indonesia, Water Efficient
Maize for Africa (WEMA)
Wrapping up: Philippines experience
• Public matters needing attention
o Efforts were needed to get people to pay attention to the public matter
o Scientists understood the technology and spoke out
o Step-wise science and political persuasion gave rise to an enabling environment
o GM corn helped farmers and corn productivity
o Public matters can and do come from technology, economics, legal issues, etc.
• Proposals for change
o Guidelines were drafted by mainly by academics at first, regulators later, consultations done
o Regulators adapt to challenges and are now developing the appropriate additional
regulations to advance this valuable technology in the country.
• Political climate
o The higher the level of the regulation, the higher the politician who needs to get involved
o A higher level politician or a group of politicians provide justification for another decision-
maker
