Negros Organic Festival 2013

Negros Organic Festival

Negros Occidental have gone a long way to promote wellness and living a testament of what good life is about. This is all due to one fact and need - Negros needs to do away from being a Monocrop Economy. That is why Negros is Sugar and most definitely More...

Together with Negros Oriental, the Island is starting to flex its muscle. Something very familiar is brewing in Negros, something that once dominated by Sugar is starting to show its color.

Enhancing the base economy which is Agriculture, diversification is just one key to ensure sustainability. Other key players are plenty. You have the Biomass, Solar, Wind, and Hydro for Energy. Geothermal Energy has been around Negros Island it is renewable, but Negrense being a people who learned from its Sugar Industry that destroying the Forest is like killing yourself - the Negrense is more sensitive to what is left of the once very flourishing heritage of flora and fauna. Though the island have several Volcanoes, Negrense cannot afford to destroy the remainder of what is left. It is non-negotiable.

This very Forest Cover is essential to maintain the watershed that supplies water to the irrigation system and river systems of Negros. Systems that is essential to water use from drinking water to water utilization for industries. The forest cover is also essential to maintain pristine water habitats which became the basis of the Province of Negros Occidental Eco-Tourism and Agri-Tourism initiatives.

I will be posting the photo's later..

Negrense Says NO to GMO

Negrense Says NO to GMO!!!

Green Alert Negros celebrates Panaad Festival 2013 in Negros Occidental, with an exhibit promoting the drive against Genetically Modified Organisms. A lot of Genetically Modified Crops are dispersed in the market and the Public virtually does not know about it. What the public may have known is that these GM crops is for food production (the only argument GM promoters would like to discuss), but not food safety. 

The Documentary below discusses Genetically Modified Food in America, Credits to: DocumentaryLovers; Mike Adams and the makers of this Documentary.

We do not want this to happen or get worse here in the Philippines. They are planning to introduce Golden Rice, banned in China, Countries in Europe that Bans GMO, and other Countries around the world that Bans Genetically Modified Food. Here in the Philippines Negros Occidental pioneered this such ban, by creating a Provincial Ordinance No. 07 Series of 2007 - The Safeguard Against Genetically Modified Organisms; so is the Province of Bohol.
