Bulalo downs 5 in Koronadal City
KORONADAL CITY – A family of five was hospitalized
at the South Cotabato provincial hospital here in what was believed to be a
case of food poisoning.
Miriam Gevero, 45, a resident of Barangay Topland, Koronadal
City said she and her three children and a grandchild were hospitalized after
eating Bulalo (broth knee cap) Tuesday night.
Gevero did not identify her children aged 18, 17 and 11 and
her grandchild.
She said she brought a kilo of cow’s meat at a mall here for
the family’s dinner.
We believed we were poisoned by the food we ate on Thursday
night because right after eating we suffered abdominal disorders, Gevero said
in Filipino.
They all suffered stomach ache, diarrhea and vomiting. Gevero said her husband Rene and another child who did not
take dinner were unharmed.
Doctors at the provincial hospital have taken samples from the patients
to laboratory examination to determine whether or not it was a case of food
poisoning.
