The reason: All of its 145 farmers are planting the genetically modified (GM) Bacillus thuringiensis or Bt corn.

Bt is a bacterium that naturally occurs in soil. Through biotechnology or genetic engineering, a specific gene of Bt has been inserted in the corn variety.

The Bt corn produces its natural pesticide against the Asian corn borer, one of the most destructive pests attacking corn in Asia, including the Philippines.
