I will be serving as Chairman for this 19th Philippine National Corn Congress (Visayas Cluster) Cebu. All preparations are in full swing and the actual congress is on August 10 to 14, 2026. Sarrosa International Hotel, Cebu City.

Lots of talk about glyphosate, so I want to add some context to the noise.

Glyphosate is a molecule.
It has been studied for 50 years.
Hundreds of regulatory reviews.
Tens of thousands of pages of data.

Toxicology, residue studies, epidemiology, environmental fate.

You don’t have to “trust Monsanto.”
You can read assessments from:

🇺🇸 EPA
🇪🇺 EFSA
🇯🇵 PMDA
🇨🇦 Health Canada

Here’s what gets lost in the shouting:

Hazard ≠ Risk.
Risk = Hazard × Exposure.

Real‑world dietary exposure?
Measured in micrograms.

Hundreds of times below conservative safety limits.
That’s risk assessment.

And no- IARC saying “probably carcinogenic” does not mean “causes cancer at real‑world exposure.”

It means same category as:
– Red meat
– Night shift work
– Very hot beverages

Context matters.

If you think farmers spray poison because they enjoy it, you’ve never met a farmer.

They use tools.
Tools are evaluated.

If they don’t work, they’re dropped.
If they aren’t safe under regulation, they’re not approved.

The claim that we are all being secretly poisoned? That collapses under dose‑response curves and biomonitoring data.

Emotion spreads faster than toxicology. But toxicology still wins.

If you care about food, health, and the environment, learn the difference between hazard and risk.

It will change how you see almost every chemical debate online.

And yesterday, SCOTUS (7–2) made something else clear:
You don’t get to turn fear into a label.

If regulators didn’t require a warning,
you don’t get to invent one through litigation.

[AD Alvarez 🚜🐔🌱🌽🇵🇭 @ADAlvarez7]

As a farmer, we do care for the protection of varieties under the stewardship of indigent groups. However, we are more concern about the desperate need to meet production goals that will feed the masses. We can only do that through modern and innovative approaches.

[PlantTreaty @planttreaty]

The Second Global Symposium theme – “Farmers’ Rights: Honouring Heritage, Preserving Biodiversity & Cultivating Food Security” – highlights farmers’ vital role in feeding the world & building fair agrifood systems.
