                    [Summary] => Several large farmers‚ groups recently asked the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) not to pressure the government to stop them from planting a high-yielding chemical-free corn variety so they can enjoy "the freedom of choice in the selection of seeds and in the management of our farms". 


The farmers made the call in the wake of a move by the CBCP to squeeze the Arroyo government into banning the biotechnology-processed corn variety known in the market as Bt corn.
