Spray planes grounded
2007 Setyembre 26
Airplanes used by banana firms to spray chemicals over plantations were grounded following the Davao City Regional Trial Court’s decision to uphold the constitutionality of the city’s aerial spray ban ordinance.
The judicial clearance left no more blocks to execute the ordinance passed since six months ago.
Banana growers have alerted the media of an appeal at the Court of Appeals citing they have prepared for the worst.
Earlier, they have warned that the implementation of the ban would cause serious implications to the banana export industry.
