MANGALDAN, Pangasinan – At least 31 students participating in a youth camp here were treated for food poisoning on Wednesday (April 20), a health official said on Thursday.
Dr. Ophelia Rivera, the town’s health officer, said the victims complained of stomach pains, diarrhea and vomiting, hours after a welcome dinner consisting of kalderata (a dish of meat and tomato sauce), lechon (roasted pig) and pansit (noodles).
“Some of them were taken to our urgent care clinic here on Wednesday and one of them is still at the Pangasinan Provincial Hospital,” Rivera said
The Catholic Church’s four-day archdiocesan youth camp at Barangay Salay here has more than 1,600 participants coming from the different parishes under the Lingayen-Dagupan archdiocese.
