There are no foods that contain corn, soy, canola, papayas, or any foods that are known to have been genetically modified that can be guaranteed NOT to contain any GMOs, not even foods labeled "100% organic" or foods on the Non-GMO Project's list of non-GMO foods. This is due to GMO varieties cross-pollinating with organically grown crops, which has resulted in the possibility, if not probability of organically grown foods having small amounts of GMOs in them. The foods on the Non-GMO Project list can actually contain up to 0.9% GMOs (as stated on the Non-GMO Project's website).

If you are a farmer, you know the corn you are gowing is GMO because you buy seeds that are known to be GMO. If you are gowing non-GMO varieties, you do not know if GMO vaieties have cross pollinated with your corn unless you get it tested.
If you are a consumer, you do not know if the corn or processed foods containing corn is GMO unless it is labeled as such. In the United States GMO foods are not labeled.

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.

In the GMO's the alteration are occurred for some noble purposes like the desired product from the organism is increased or the survivability strain is increased. The GMO's goes with plant and animals also. Like the GMO eggplant which is resistant to a specific insect.

In the United States, genetically modified foods have been declared to be "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods, so there are no differences in how they are grown. There are recommendations for GMO farmers to plant barriers of non-GMO crops to cut down on cross pollination of their crops with non-GMO crops, but these are just recommendations and are not enforced.
