"The book 'Thirty Years of Biosafety Regulation in the Philippines' aims to present experiences of various stakeholders in the implementation of the biosafety regulatory system in the country. Partocularly, the book provides an overview on how the different Competent National Authorities (CNAs) carried out its mandate in the implementation of the National Biosafety Framework (NBF) and the country's compliance to its International Obligations as a party to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB). This book likewise narrates how and why new biosafety policies and guidelines such as the DOST-DA-DENR-DOH-DILG Joint Department Circular No.1 and the NCBP Resolution on the regulationof Plant Breeeding Innovations (PBIs) or New Plant Breeding Techniques (NBTs) were issued. Further, 'Thirty Years of Biosafety Regulations in the Philippines' discusses the economic impact of biosafety regulations in the country with emphasis on the adoption on Genetically Modified corn in the country, whicharguably is the most successful local adoption of GM technology as of this writing. The book also reports on the strengths and weaknesses of our biosafety regulatory system as perceived by the members of the CNAs, applicants and technology developers from both private and public research institutions, and the selected membes of the scientific community. Finally, the book looks forward to the future applications of modern biotechnology which may benefit our country including genome editing and breeding innovations for animals." -- Fortunato T.
