    菲律宾上诉法院在2012年规定，禁止种植所有转基因茄子，即所谓的Bt talong。尽管转基因蔬菜从未被大规模种植，但相关试验也被终止，植株遭到了销毁。此后不久，近400名抗议者砸毁了比科尔岛地区农场周围的篱笆，将转基因水稻连根拔起。这一事件显示，关于转基因生物的争论已经波及到了第一世界国家之外。

    The Philippines Court of Appeals ruled in 2012 that all genetically modified eggplants, known as Bt talong, arebanned from cultivation. While the vegetable never made it to large-scale production, the trials were halted and the plants destroyed. Not long after, nearly 400 protestors smashed the fences around a field in the Bicol region and uprooted genetically modified rice plants. The incidents reveal that the debate over GMO crops has moved beyond first-world nations.
