It's a way of eliminating an entire species of a creature, right now they are targeting mosquitos. What they will do is genetically engineer a bunch of male mosquitos to only produce male offsprings. And those male baby mosquitos will have same trait and will also produce only male mosquitoes.
Generation after generation female mosquitoes will be less and less until they are completely wiped out.
Given that the Philippines has dengue, chikungunya and malaria problems. This can solve that problem.
The scientist already have those male mosquitoes, they already tested it in a controlled environment. All they're waiting for is the approval of those community.
