Sugar industry leaders yesterday said they are happy with the results of the Senate hearing Tuesday on the call to curb the importation of High Fructose Corn Syrup, but have not called off the boycott on Coca-Cola products yet.
Sugar Alliance of the Philippines spokesman Emilio Yulo III yesterday said they are thankful for the efforts of Senators Cynthia Villar and Juan Miguel Zubiri to help the sugar industry.
“But in the absence of any clear and definite agreement on the proposal to purchase locally grown GMO-free sugar, the boycott on Coke continues and we expect more LGUs, business establishments and NGOs to join the call,” Yulo said.

Acting provincial police director, Senior Supt. Henry Biñas, said there are enough troops to secure the resorts in Dauin and nearby areas, especially the world-renowned dive destination Apo Island..
