Yes, soybeans have been genetically modified, though there are non-modified varieties of soybeans. Commercially, at least 70% - 80%, possibly more of the soybeans grown in the United States are GMO.

List of Genetically modified food in the Philippines?
I don't have a list yet but you can be pretty sure that snacks made with corn from the USA have GMO corn in them. I have read that about 97% of corn grown in the US is GMO. So, Cheetos, Doritos and other snacks imported from the US. You will need to discover the source of the corn which is in Philippine products such as Chippy. I read that GMO corn has been tested but I don't know if GMO corn is grown in the Philippines. In the US GMO soybeans are also grown. So, be careful of imported soy ingredients.

Why might people want genetically engineered food to be labeled?
Consumers want to have the tools necessary to choose for themselves whether or not to buy and eat GMO foods. Labeling is the only thing that will show them what foods do and do not contain GMOs, or at least so they think. In reality, cross pollination of GMO crops with non-GMO crops has resulted in almost all food types that have been genetically modified (corn, soybeans, papayas, canola, possibly wheat, sugar beats, sweet corn, and others), even ones labeled Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project and organically grown crops, having at least a small percentage of GMOs.

Probably. Because genetically modified foods (GMO) are not required to be labeled as such, it is difficult to know for certain.
