Several groups of Filipino scientists led by researchers and professors from the University of the Philippines defended the Arroyo policy, which anchored the growth of a modern agricultural sector on biotechnology. The Philippine government has been conducting at least seven major researches on the application of the technology to agriculture since 1997.
