Initial investigation by a joint team of the municipal police and the town’s public safety office showed that driver Lito Lacerna, instead of disposing of the expired biscuits as he was tasked to do, brought it home.
Lacerna gave the expired biscuits to his children who, in turn, distributed some to their playmates.
Minutes after consuming the biscuits, the barangay folk, including Lacerna’s children, felt dizzy and vomited.
All of the victims were released after their condition improved. — Non Alquitran
